Kitchen hanging lights advice needed (with photos)

our 1925 brooklyn kitchen (newly gutted and almost finished) has 6 recessed lights and needs two hanging lights - 9' ceilings - and we are going to hang them pretty high ...a cross between a semi-flush and a short pendant.

my husband says that he wants a nice fixture that doesn't look too 'solid'...we thought we were going with the basic schoolhouse pendant but he thinks it's too opaque and very white. (the color bands that some come in are beautiful but do not go with our antique (as in distressed antique venetian tiles). i found this schoolhouse like 'prismatic glass' pendant from restoration hardware. i guess i'm looking for some opinions.

i hope you can get a sense...i'll also add a link to the kitchen reno album so you can see the plans.

here you see 4 of the 6 recessed lights and the space for one of the pendants

and for this one i tried to get a view of looking from the dining room doorway into the kitchen. (but looking up at the lighting)
