You may have seen my other post. But I am starting from scratch so thought I'd just start a whole new thread.

I will start with my work area lighting because that will be the hardest to find (I think). I will then go from there. Attached is my kitchen. We recently removed an ugly flourescent fixture in the middle of the space (where the wires are hanging). I want to put something there but don't think track looks right or another flourescent.

We have 9 foot ceilings. We plan to install under cabinet lighting so that will help. I neet to know what will work. My hardware is ORB, so I think I will stick with that. My style is hopefully going come off as updated country/contemperary country farmhouse. Right now, I am thinking semi-flush? I will attach more ideas I have found.

Here is my kitchen.

We plan on replacing the linoleum w/ laminate or HW in the near (hopefully) future.

I am planning to replace all lighting, but am concentrating on where the wires hang down from the middle of the room...

#3...I really think this one is pretty cool. Something different, but maybe too different?

#4--this one isn't semi flush, but thought I could hang it short.

#5

#6...I think I'm almost done!!!

#7...this one is probably out of my price range, but thought I could find one like it if need be.

Okay, I'm done.....bring it on!!! (pretty please...

Melk, I am "multitasking" this afternoon but I put up the first two for you...will do the others as I take breaks.

If you will post your ideas for replacing the pendant over the table, I can put that in as well so you can see the lights together...

here is # 1. Size may not be on target as I have no idea the size of the fixtures but tried to get proportioned as best as possible.

duh...posted the one I was working on.
Let's try again...here is # 1

Call me crazy and CHEAP..but IKEA has some great lighting and it is very CUTE and very inexpensive!! http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/40089316

Peri, you are the best. And yes the font has been strange today!

Well, I went beck to post a pic of a chandy that goes with #1....over $600! So I think that is definitely out.

Let me see about #2...
There are 3 options....SEE, HIS IS GOING TO BE COMPLICATED!!!...

another for #2...

last for #2

2 options for #3...for some reason I really like this line....

or this...

Actually #4 and #5 go together. One is not a real semi-flush so could hang over the table.

Okay, here is what goes w/ #6...I like the idea of downlights since our kitchen table is used for crafts/homework etc.

I'll have to look up a match for &7, but I know it is out of my price range!!!

Melk - check out your other thread - I posted some pics there - see what you think.

Hey Melk, I didn't get # 3 finished yet...it has a lot of cutouts & I haven't done it well enough yet so you can tell what it looks like.
I know you like that one a lot so don't want to post something that will make you go...yuk!
