Kitchen Table Lighting Ideas

Still looking for a new light fixture for over the kitchen table. Nothing yet has gotten the thumbs up. This might be nice ... not too heavy looking:



from Pottery Barn:

Barton Pendant
(above)

Hand cast of iron and steel with a richly hammered texture,
this pendant has the rough-hewn look of a blacksmith's creation.
Twists in the metal accent its simple, graceful lines.


Or a style similar to this one from from Century Furniture:



CHANDELIER

(SA8044)

White-wash finish Scandinavian pine with suspended clear beads trim and wrought iron with cast accents with raffia shades.

It reminds me of the leaves and trees painted by Rufus Porter, the American mural landscape painter, and other wall painters since:
