I have lived in my home for almost four years and have wanted to change the light over my kitchen table ever since we moved in. I still haven’t picked out a light because I want to find the perfect one for my kitchen. I want to make sure that my new light is bright enough for doing homework under, but not too bright or hot that you can’t stand to eat meals with the light on! After looking through stores and browsing online I think that I should start steering towards pendant light fixtures.
The fixture over my kitchen table now is just plain ugly. It looks like the previous owners spray painted a gold fixture to bring it up to date! Spray painted fixtures just aren’t cool. We changed out the living room ceiling fan last year and parts of it had been spray painted too! Do you currently have a pendant light above your kitchen table?
I also have an island in my kitchen with a bar attached. I have seen the mini pendant lights used over bars and really liked how it dresses everything up. I currently have a HUGE fluorescent light that stretches over the middle of my kitchen and that probably needs to be removed too. I’d love to have recessed lighting there. Do you see why I haven’t changed any lights out yet. There are just too many choices and lighting options to pick from. What do you think?
