Kathy on Nov 24, 2013I LOVE that pendant light. What about placing it so that it is on a swag, the chain of which would be running along the corner; it could then be swagged to center over the table, and then it will be out of the way and over your table. I think the look of this pendant works beautifully with your room, and also feel the "swag" look with it will only enhance your room....Helpful Reply

Linda Weeks on Nov 24, 2013I have a similar issue in my kitchen, and I also love that pendant light - provided that the scale of it isn't overwhelming the space; wish I could swap lights around to see what works best for us too!Helpful Reply

DeMarie I on Nov 24, 2013I love the pendant light you have considered. Question: Do you absolutely NEED the fan light in the kitchen. If you don't need the fan for dispersing heat, you might consider changing that fixture to new track lighting that would work with the pendant. They make S curved track that would tie in with the pendant and you can adjust the lights to spot where you need them.Helpful Reply

Peg on Nov 24, 2013I agree with Kathy above. A swag would look nice and you can adjust the height too!Helpful Reply

MaryAnn A on Nov 24, 2013I like the pendant too. If you hand it just above the table. . . I think the measurement is supposed to be 18", but you can double check that. . . it wouldn't be in conflict with the ceiling fan in the kitchen area.Helpful Reply

MaryAnn A on Nov 24, 2013I hate having so much "stuff" on/in the ceiling. . . mine is like that too. If money and/or the work are not an issue I would remove the lite from the fan and perhaps use some small pot lights focused on the work areas.Helpful Reply

Welch Creative Lighting on Nov 24, 2013i would ansolutely recommend changing out the fan/light to directional track lighting and then use a pendant over the table or another two-head track light over there.Helpful Reply

Jane on Nov 24, 2013You have a lot going on visually with your ceiling as is let alone adding another fixture so close to the existing fan and vent...don't you hate that? I absolutely LOVE the pendant light but those two other fixtures (especially the fan/light) are so-o big and overpowering that they will definitely overpower the pendant. I can't see the whole layout and size of your kitchen so this may not work but #1) if you don't need the big fan for light or circulation, get rid of it OR #2) if you still need the big fan for circulation and it's feasible to do, you might try to relocate just the fan further down toward the far end of the room (where I assume the photographer was standing) so that it isn't so visually close to the pendant and exhaust. Once the fan is relocated or removed completely, go back to its original location and install a smaller, flatter, non-pendant type light fixture. DeMarie had a good lighting suggestion but if you prefer something other than canned or track lighting there are certainly lots of options. Try to find something in style, size and color that will not scream 'look at me' and visually detract from the beautiful pendant fixture but will still give you the light source you need over the right side of room. Then get your pendant! Good luck.Helpful Reply

Loribeth on Nov 24, 2013What is it about ceiling fans and oak cabinets that husbands are so opposed to changing in kitchens????? If hubby absolutely will not let you get rid of the ceiling fan, then change it out for a ceiling fan that is more industrial looking to go with the pendant lights you love. The white ceiling fan is just too fussy for the other lighting choice you want for your kitchen. Something similar to the fan below would look great with your pendants.Helpful Reply

Diane Arnold on Mar 10, 2014Love your lighting choice. You might want to up date the lighting on the fan to match using the same type of bulbs and outdoor wire light covers.You could also paint ant of the metal part to match the light fixture, or change color of blades for a color pop.Helpful Reply

Bonnie Lewenza on Mar 11, 2014I removed the blades off my ceiling fan as we never turned it on any ways. The blades in my mind were nothing but dust collectors. It actually made a huge difference to the fixture. You could maybe put some recessed lighting up there and it would not be in conflict with the ceiling fan.Helpful Reply
