Kitchen Island Pendants

After looking and looking for lighting to go above our island bench I decided to go back to one of my original choices. If I were in America I would have had just as much trouble because I wouldn't have been able to narrow it down to just one choice. But I live in a little regional city that while has a lot of the major stores it is really lacking in the homeware area...and it's pricey too. We live near Brisbane but I don't go over enough to know where the best little homeware stores are and often when we head over it is usually a mad dash to do what we need to do and it leaves little time to do the type of shopping I want to.

Some of my favourites.

By Lamps Plus - I love the shape of this one

Home Decoraors Collection - This is of course similar
to the one used in the Mel's (Georgica Pond) gorgeous perfect kitchen

West Elm

I really considered this one as this is available
at various places in Australia but decided the conical
shape wasn't quite right

I checked back over my favourite pics and one type of light kept popping up. It has been done in so many kitchens on Houzz but I think they give just the right type of look for my kitchen and they were the right price (on sale) so that won me over as well. Bit scary buying stuff that you have only seen over the internet in pictures but we think the size should be okay.

We bought three of the Schots Parisian Pendant lights in the brushed nickel but I think the Chrome would have been nice too.

Linda Mcdougald Design - I hope they look a little like this, wish I had the kitchen coming too.

I am so excited about them and can't wait to see them put up. For an ordinary everyday suburban mum it is surreal to think I get a little slice of America in my project house to make it a little bit special.

 My lovely hard working husband organised to have these sent from Melbourne through a courier through his work. This is the second time he has organised special lighting for the house, the other one I will do another post on as it is my most favourite thing of all for this new house, although there has been some dramas about the size of it.
