I think either style/finish would go very nicely in your home and like both, but prefer the Bedford a bit more.

" looking for a round bubblegum with milky colored glass globe" not sure what that is ML. Sounds like the white globes I have now in the kitchen and hallway. (see pics above) That's what I want rid of... I've got 2 or 3 in a box somewhere here to take to GW. I wanted to add 2 more before I make the trip there - lol! yes, these ceiling lights have switches - and no, they aren't for reading. These ceiling are vaulted - too high to be for reading. I have numerous table lamps and 4-6 floor lamps (to be rewired). I could do that except now my fingers don't let me anymore. Will see if one of the guys will do it. At least a few. I have 3-4 (maybe a few more) that are in working order now. 4 rooms have ceiling fans (2 to be replaced). the DR I have no idea yet - also a vaulted ceiling. You don't like any of those above? I picked this kind cause I need them to 'cover areas'. The bathroom one covers the tub area, the shower (opposite side of the room) and the open area. Also, 3 60W bulbs give me more light than 1 100W does in a room. In the kitchen one could go to the left (stove), one down to sink and 1 more toward fridge/table. (there isn't a lot of space between any of those) I thought about a pendant over the sink but then that'd be more contained light over the sink. (well, that IS what an over the sink light is to do!) - I do have a pendant light on the other side of the kitchen area - by the pantry. In the kitchen I do have 2 large florescent lights in the ceiling - I use those if I'm making something or most anything at night. I'd like an alternate light source . The over the sink one is burned out now, so I'm using the others. I also want down lights (not to catch dust and bugs) and open at the bottom (easier to change bulbs). I have 2 skylights - 1 in the mstr bath and 1 in the kitchen. I think they are coated - but lots of people have skylights out here. My sister has a huge one in her kitchen over the island. It's great sunlight fall - spring. Those CFLs and my eyes would not be friends!

I feel like your challenge is going to be having whatever you put up , show against the dark wood on the ceiling. You may want to look into doing a brighter metal finish. May not be as "farm house" as you'd like but would show up better against the ceiling.

Isn’t it wired already? I just poked over at our blank spot and we are wired for a light centred on door and just don’t have one yet. But we committed to centred on door when electrical was run.
