In between brushstrokes, I've been hunting down an iron or bronze light fixture to hang over my kitchen island. Something that visually connects with the iron curves of my stools. Nothing special, mind you, just a major statement in an early Edison sort of Victorian industrial era Steampunk style, that's all. The island is integral to the main living area, and the first thing you see when you walk in the door, so a statement it must make. It also must make adequate light for kitchen work. Oh, and one more must - I have a thing against incandescent lightbulbs yellowing my paint colors. I know I should be using those fluorescent environmental bulbs, but they're worse. They're as yellow as bug lights and repel me faster than they repel bugs. (Maybe I'm just buggy to begin with.) So of course I only use the expensive burn-out-after-24-hour Reveal bulbs. The whiteness of their light is pure sunshine. Somebody better have a light bulb go off in their head and invent a hybrid so I don't have to feel guilty anymore, that's all I've got to say.
This, then, is my kitchen island, my steampunk stools and my missing light fixture. Which of the following would you hang here? Like Proud Mary, we're gonna start out easy, then we're gonna finish nice and rough...
