This Is The Kitchen Table Pendant I Ended Up With
Do you recall my search for the perfect light fixture above our new kitchen table? Well I am probably going to disappoint a few of you but I could not get that industrial looking glass pendant out of my head. I am talking about the one I fell in love with over at Restoration Hardware. Some of you liked it, some of you not so much. But I personally love the style! A little bit of an edge to my gray trestle table won’t hurt.
I was however a tad worried about the scale and many of you echoed my concern. It was simply too big for the table. But I just found out that Ballard Designs carry a very similar pendant which is perfect in size and only$399 compared to $950 for the one at RH! It has been ordered and I can’t wait to have it installed!
For a warmer effect I am going to order Edison filament bulbs with a more yellow light. I don’t want a cold and sterile feeling kitchen area. A kitchen should be cozy in my opinion. I will get mine through our fabulous local store, Velocity.
I have never bought any furniture at Ballard Designs but I feel that they have some pretty neat accessories. I think this floor runner could be a fun accent piece on our dark hardwood kitchen floors. I am going to inspect it a little bit further. I like the poem written on it.
Warm hugs to you all. (My kids are having mid winter break. We will spend a lot of time away from the house and even try to find some snow!).

It is a great choice I think, love the look of your rug under the table as well. It looks chunky, is it from Pottery Barn? I noticed one there recently that looks similar. We are on the same path these days, you a few steps ahead of me. I’m looking for a light for above my table, and chairs. Just waiting to see what you find in that department!

Woo hoo! I think the light is perfect–style and price

I LOVE this light and I have ordered several things from Ballard and have always been pleased – and I am VERY picky – so you should be fine!!
[Reply]
Good choice! Can’t wait to see the finished product!
See you soon!

great find and I love it! hope you’re having a good week..

Very nice combo. I bought a small Louis XVI style book shelf from Ballard Designs several years ago and liked it so much, I purchase another one for a different room!
[Reply]
I love your thought process and tasteful editing! I took 5 years of French, I must have lost about 4 of them. I can barely read the rug, but I still love it! J’taime!! XO, Kelly

I love it! Congrats on the find. When it comes to snow, you can have some of ours. We weren’t able to open the entrance door yesterday…2 metres!!! Looking forward to spring here…

Have a lovely, lovely weekend. xx

Great choice, Monika. And I LOVE the rug! I’m going to go look at it, too. Happy, happy weekend to you!
[Reply]
I like it…I love that table too, I almost got it for my dining room but it wasn’t quite big enough. The fixture will be bright and could go either way, industrial or vintage. Hope you have a great weekend, Mon!

I love your selection!
I spent the better part
of this week hemming and
hawing on the internet over
a fixture for my powder
room. When you finally
decide on THE ONE, it is
such a great feeling! I
ordered a chandy for my
daughter’s bedroom about
eight years ago from Ballard
and have been very pleased
with it. Enjoy your new
light!

I think it will look awesome over your table!! Great choice!
[Reply]
Fantastic find – and at the price, it won’t be a killer if you change it up down the road. But I suspect since you couldn’t get it out of your head – you’ll love it for a long time!
[Reply]
beautiful choice – i love that runner as well!!
