My Top Pick to Replace Your Kitchen Pendant Lighting!

My top favourite choice right now for the best bang for your buck is the Alden Pendant.  (#16 on my list!) Cone Pendants are the “IT GIRL” of lighting right now! Not to mention this light is versatile and can be rocked by any style and I mean any style. You can steal yours for $218, when they cost close to 1k for the real deal! Here’s a look at this light style in the kitchen of thepinkdream.com (one of my fav bloggers) in her new ” classic white kitchen remodel“.

You can also check out the real deal in the silver metal in a new Instagram account that I just found and love called @decorating__life ….Kaitlyn’s home is absolutely jaw dropping!

Lighting Search TIPS and TRICKS!

Make sure you click on every light you’re interested in, regardless of finish colour, because all of my picks come in multiple finishes! Also, remember to check the size of the light. I like oversized lights, so I want them big, but I’ve picked all different shapes and sizes to suit each space! Also don’t forget that if you pick a big light you can do just one like in my kitchen, or you can double, triple, or even quadruple up on your island lights to get the perfect size and spacing! (the sky is the limit…at our last home I had 3 chandeliers over our dining room table and it was epic! I love my lights!!!)
