Hi, Angela-- Sounds like you've already made some great, classic choices that will date slowly in the years to come, allowing you to enjoy your updated kitchen design for a long time. You're on the right track! For me, drum shades are often a great choice because they read as warm, friendly lighting that's perfect for a variety of areas, but I wouldn't recommend them as the best option for the placement of your two pendants here. Why? They repeat the expanded circular light patterns your current fixtures have, which are at odds with the edge shape of your linear bar/peninsula setup. Instead, I'd consider a pair of multi-light linear or rectangular options (these may still be fabric-wrapped to give the softness and light-filtering effect of a linen drum shade) to help frame and baffle the light beams directly onto your linear surface below. I think a round drum shade would be a perfect option in a breakfast nook or other, level surface dining area where you need even lighting all around, but would opt for different shape options here. Since you have such high ceilings too, a pair of rectangular fixtures also help visually define the peninsula perimeter from above, too. Cheers!

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.

24" is huge so I can see that would lead to two on most islands/peninsulas! They are lovely. I like that you don't think I need to put one over the sink. My guess is that my arch wanted to put one over the sink and so she brought them in tightly in order to avoid the cabinet on the right. If i have more flexibility with the sink (as you imply), I would keep the one on the left where it is and then shuffle the other two so they are evenly spaced but further to the right. I wasn't sure if there was something odd about not being centered on the sink. Would that idea work, seem normal?
