Lights are coming!

Since the ELECTRICIAN is HERE RIGHT NOW!!!! I cannot help but think again about lights.  Brent and I mapped out our lighting very carefully on Tuesday night, and, with a smaller island, we decided that we can indeed have one light of interest(score!)!  So, I must continue the quest for the perfect light.  That is what I will do instead of curriculum work....


I am becoming increasingly into the idea of either a clear fixture or one with mercury glass.  These options will have less visual weight, even if they do hang down over the island.  Plus, they will add a little sparkle, but not be TOO formal for our kitchen.  Of course, I'm torn, and the other options are of the heavier antiqued bronze variety (to tie into the dining room light fixture...).




Jamie Young seems to be everywhere and has a couple of options I really like.  I think they would be interesting enough to be on their own (since we would only have ONE fixture over our mini 3-ft island).  All of his designs come in mercury OR seeded clear glass :)

I really enjoy the clear, seeded glass.  It also comes in mercury glass

I also like the idea of adding some green touches to the room.  This is an allen + roth from lowes.com

I REALLY want to hear some opinions - so please comment! (here or on fb)

This will most likely be the LAST purchase we make for the kitchen (well except for maybe the trim). This way whatever I buy, I can try it out in the space all finished and return if no me gusta.
