What to do, What to do!


This is my space.
It is above my island in the kitchen. I like the light fixtures. But.....I think it needs a little change. Our home is a cross between French Country and a English Cottage. So I have been thinking pot racks.French kitchens always have copper in them. And I love copper. I've had copper pieces in my kitchens ever since I was first married, more than 28 years ago.

The trouble with the lights is they put out a funky glow in the kitchen. They are not a task light and since I do most of my tasks at this island I need something else. Do I buy a pot rack with lights already in them (keep in mind I have two electrical boxes) or do I buy new pendant lights and put a pot rack in between?

Oh,what to do!


Here are some options that I am considering.



I could use two of these. As you can see there are 2 light fixtures in each.
That would give me quite a bit of light.




Or, how about this one? I could put this in between two pendant lights.
I love the color of the metal.




Here are a few more ideas that could go on the wall. If I decide to only change the light fixtures.










This last picture is a little to busy for me but I still like to look! I believe inspiration comes from really looking at all different styles!
