Honestly at first glance I say you can do better.

I like it. This guy is overdone in my opinion. I like it too...but it is everywhere. Yours much less so.

@HU-187528210 any suggestions?

My range

Said island

1. planning on updating stools to wood and changing hardware to brass if I choose those pendants

It showed up in a lot of photos several years ago and it is recognizable as a result but you don't see it very often anymore. For fun, I did a quick search of Houzz transitional kitchen photos and it showed up in one photo, on the fourth page.

It's an exceptionally good looking pendant and it would be great over your island.

If you love it then use it. All that matters is what you and your family likes❣️

They are nice and if you were always drawn to them that‘s the positives. If you feel they have become too common, then I’d keep looking.

Personally, I’d head towards a more casual/fun style.

Versus:

I find Instagram has the most up to date ideas and lots of inspiration.

It looks perfect for your space and I think it's quite lovely as well.

@Maureen I was looking at that style as well!!! And it looks like I might have to do something like that since that hicks pendant only has 6ft chain :(

I've always like them too. (your range is gorge!)

they have this style

I must have look at 800 pendants before deciding on mine.

some other options based on what I can see in you pics

and I love the loom chairs (they come in all colors

unless you want black

@Beth H. :any leads on long chained pendants? at least 9-10 ft and I adore those chairs. I was thinking about these counter chairs

where are the loom chairs from?

thanks everyone!

loom chairs are everywhere. just google it.

as for long chains, you'll have to look at the specs of the ones you like. some come w/ longer chains. or you have have to an adapter type of chain.

look on Shades of Light

Your range really is gorgeous!!
And so is your hardware. I don’t think I’d change it. You have a magnificent!! Kitchen already.
I also agree that if you love those pendants please please get them!!
The reason I said I think you can do better. Is because number one. Obviously I think you can. But also personally they almost naush me out after seeing them so many times.
I’m picturing something clear glass. And bigger. Like very big. The other ones you’d need three pendants probably what I’m picturing would be two. Big. Clear glass stunners lol.
I’ll try to find some options for you later.

@HU-187528210 I absolutely adore big glass pendants, but am afraid my type A personality will hate their upkeep, yes please find me something! I am having a hard time with the height of my ceilings need to have at least 9 ft length and was thinking of only updating hardware on island Thanks!

Schoolhouse Electric lets you specify cord/chain length. Both of these also come in white or black.

(Somehow I didn't think it was a big deal to have a fixture rewired and a different cord added.)

I don't 'specially like it, but

- You say YOU have long-time wanted it. That's enough.

- Changing a light fixture isn't all that expensive /invasive.

Look at Rejuvination. You can specify your pendant length and design your own fixture basically.

I love Maureens fixture in her second pic above but I wonder about the light quality from the dark fixture. Anyone know?

love your range Btw

ok since I can't do the hicks (just don't want to mess with lengthening etc) I think i will do either of these from rejuvenation since I can customize length

so do these go ok with either over my island?

The double tirrell for living area and the piaf for dining

or should i do white

Consider how the choice will influence kitchen and chandelier choices. How do you want the space in general to feel.

Black: will be a big statement, so proportions are important. They would complement your hardware and if you were getting new stools, I‘d look for some black content. A less delicate chandelier may better compliment.

White: Consider that the white shade may be slightly off the other 3 whites and if you are ok with that. I also think the chandeliers have to really work with its modern, light feel

Just to confuse your further, a hammered brass would be really warm, and a good middle ground choice. Nice with wooden stools, if you want a more casual feel.

If you have dreamed of using them DO! It's your house and you should do what makes up happy. If you ever sell your house lighting fixtures are an easy thing to replace.

Thanks @Maureen and yes I am thoroughly confused now!!! But I love all the things you posted and now will go down that rabbit hole for a bit!

The pendant I loved had been around for quite a while, but not used that much because it was pricey. Finally had a spot to use them and they were discontinued ... the manufacturer sold the last one from the warehouse about 3 weeks before I tried to place an order. Still looking for another pair of perfect pendants! If you really love the first one you posted, you should get them, even if the electrician has to rewire.

Get them. They are lovely and would look tremendous in your kitchen.

I like them, and also love the Schoolhouse Electric ones pictured above. I love that “orb” shape for pendants. Not dated IMO.

I’m all about getting what you want! I personally like the white and brass schoolhouse orb a lot, and they’re slightly less recognizable and a little softer, but I don’t think it matters. If you use the metal pendants and go with white they won’t feel as heavy and I think it’s more balanced with any of the black chandeliers you posted. If both are black the pendants feel too heavy compared to the chandelier to me. I don’t think they have to match, it’s more about the weight in relationship to each other.

I like it, and I'm guessing every time you walk into your kitchen they will bring a smile to your face.....

Played out? I see nothing that says 'home'. To each their own. If you love it who cares what other's think? The world has become so individual go for what you love.

Take a look at nichemodern. You can customize the cord length. An example:

Niche Modern

It complements your range. An all black series of pendants will dominate the space. I favor glass pendants because they are very ethereal.

One more thing. Lighting should really be a splurge. Like your range.

I have something very similar, and I used brass hardware. No regrets.

@jeniferhavin
Sorry for the delay lol. Here’s an idea.
I also love the rejuvenation and Maureen’s.
My goal would be airy for this space. The original light had nothing wrong with it. I just think it was overdone. And heavy looking.
Do you like this?

I like the pendants very much. But because you think they may be played out consider others. Here's what I just put up in my new kitchen. Thought you might like these. I love the unique shape. They come in three sizes and various finishes. Another poster on here, Minnesota Mary also used these in her renovation.

Sarnen Pendant by Visual Comfort at Lumens.com · More Info

I would listen to your hesitation...do you care if it is/was popular, or featured in a lot of pictures (and maybe has taken a backseat now? dunno...) ...or do you go for what you love? I haven't seen the pendants that I chose anywhere, they remind me of my home country and that makes them very special. They are definitely not popular in the US...and I think that they fit my kitchen to a T.
