@Fori is not pleased - "Since you're replacing, it'll probably be easier because you know you have an electrical box that can handle a fan." Not really. As a licensed electrician, about 50% of the fans I replace are mounted to a box that is not code approved for a fan. Some of them were being replaced because they were starting to fall down. If you own the home, you are usually allowed to do your own electrical work, or hire a licensed electrician. Hiring a person that is not a licensed electrician to do the work is never a "legal" option no matter how "lax" your state may be in enforcement.

I have an aversion to ill-lit kitchens, so I'd look at an LED Tube Puff style ceiling fixture and a pendant or two over the peninsula. Pendant Lights In the living room, how about something like [THIS[(https://www.houzz.com/products/wooden-3-light-chandelier-prvw-vr~81079779)? JM$.02W

I would not recommend fans with metal blades, they will rust and typically require ceilings over 10 feet because they are not considered safe in residential applications. You are best off with fans that have special UV protective ABS plastic blades or thicker solid wood blades that are rated for outdoor wet or damp locations. Wet rated fans have the highest tolerance for abuse from the elements and are the best choice, but a covered porch like yours can use a damp rated or wet rated fan. Also, in outdoor locations it is critical to consider the amount of airflow that the fan produces because open outdoor locations do not allow the air to escape on the sides and the breeze you feel from a fan is a lot less than what you feel in an enclosed area indoors. So you need more powerful fans than those listed above. The Donaire fan recommended below has a wind speed factor of about 3.8 MPH, which is over 50% more breeze than the Westinghouse fan above. The ultimate outdoor fan is made of marine grade 316 stainless steel and has ABS blades. It is the Donaire by Matthews Fan Company and is available in brushed nickel or bronze stainless steel. Here are some pictures of the fan taken from the product detail pages using the Room Settings Viewer at Hansen Wholesale. This feature allows you to add your own room setting so you can see how any fan on the website looks in your own setting, so you may want to give that a try.

Show the rest of the space? Is this over the table? Something like this would be my go to. Because this style is elegant and current, but still blends in to older finishes. In my personal opinion. https://www.lampsplus.com/sfp/267y1/ https://www.homedepot.com/p/Hukoro-Alfa-35-in-8-Light-Modern-Linear-Kitchen-Island-Rectangle-Pendant-Chandelier-with-Matte-Black-Finish-F50488-BK/319116411 https://www.birchlane.com/lighting/pdp/glenhaven-snellville-5-light-kitchen-island-linear-pendant-b000169127.html https://www.ballarddesigns.com/georgia-linear-8-light-chandelier-with-shades/676352
