declansmom,

The pendants are Hinckley Knickerbocker. They are discontinued, but still out there for sale if you google them. That's an old photo--I have since replaced them with ones I found with less glare. I just never turned them on because the light was so harsh. Didn't expect that to bother me (they're on a dimmer, too) but it did.

It's funny how our Rocket matches so the cabs so EXACTLY... (-:

Thankyou Shanghaimom.....Why does it always seem that the things I love are discontinued? :(
If I do find them, do you think that a pendant over the sink would be too harsh? It is only on when my hubby is washing the dishes!!!!

Shanghaimom, what did you end up replacing them with? I think I've pretty much ruled out clear glass pendants because I'm scared of the glare bothering me. I always liked the way yours looked though.

Declansmom,

The pendants are a great look, but *for me* wouldn't be practical over the sink. I like to have a pendant or in-ceiling spotlight that shines downward, rather than something with diffuse light. Just me.

Here's what I replaced them with, babs711. (Currey and Co. "Regatta".) Notice, I kept the old rods from the knickerbockers, and only used the new shades! The finish was better with my kitchen hardware....

Aplologies to those who are sick to death of shanghaimom pics! (recent Island and microwave threads)

Your kitchen is awesome!!

I am wanting to see and hear about your backsplash, if you have time, shanghaimom. Your kitchen is so gorgeous.

Thanks, phoggie and waterdamage! Typing in your names was cracking me up. I'm thinking, "Maybe Phoggie lives in SanFrancisco and waterdamage...well, dang." I hope you didn't join GW to deal a water damage issue. (I learned a LOT about ice dams here last winter. grrrr.)

Backsplash is 3" Calcatta hex tile. It helped me marry my dark cream (Bone White) cabs with cool-toned charcoal quartz counters.
