A Before and After......My Dad puts in pendants!

Before
After

While our over-the-island fixture wasn't hideous or trap bugs (like our previous house's fixture did quite well), we still wanted to do a little update. We found some cheap Hampton Bay antique bronze mini pendants at Home Depot that we liked, and that went well with the light that we semi-like over our kitchen table, and my dad was nice enough to come over one afternoon and put them in while babysitting my two boys so my mom and I could hit up some fabric stores. Is he great, or what? I like how they hang down low (thankfully, since the height on them is nonadjustable)....it lends a nice soft, romantic lighting to the room. Unlike my husband, I HATE bright lights, especially overhead bright lights, and since I am the one who spends most of my time standing in the kitchen, I got to pick:)
