If you think back to our kitchen tour, you may remember the pendant light we had hanging above the kitchen island.   It was blue and had three dangling lights.  It was functional, but very bland.  I’d been wanting to get rid of it for a while, but I hadn’t found a reasonable alternative….

…until I stumbled upon the Firefly Pendant Lamp from CB2.  It retails for $199, which is more expensive than I would have liked, but I couldn’t pass it up.  It’s a perfect fit for our kitchen.

We hired an electrician to install it, since neither Joey nor I are qualified.  It was well worth the extra cost.  I’m pretty sure that someone would have gotten electrocuted had Joey or I undertaken the installation.

I originally thought that I might need two, given the length of the island; but in the end, one works fine.

I think two might have been overpowering.

Overall, I would say it was $199 well spent, don’t you think?
