One remnant from our old kitchen was really a thorn in my side for the last few months; this dirty old lamp. The problem was that I really didn't see anything I thought a) suited the kitchen, and b) matched or somewhat coordinated with our hanging pendant over the peninsula.
I had thought about the hexagonal pendants from Restoration Hardware because they were the same aged bronze (nearly black) finish while most others that appealed to me had chrome finishes, and I liked their neat lines, but I just couldn't pull the trigger on the price.
But a few weeks ago I was out shopping with a girl friend when we found this box in a corner at HomeSense. It was a perfect replica, and the price was insanely good at $79 so I thought I would bring it home to see how I liked it in person.
Being the sweet guy he is, Sean held it up while I debated on how I felt. But without any other contenders on the horizon we decided to go ahead and give it a chance. After living with it a few weeks I can honestly say that it is the perfect fit for our fun/industrial vibe. I still need to track down a cool filament bulb, but I just had to share!
It is a perfect match in color to the light fixture only feet away, which was my biggest concern.
It is strange that I hadn't even thought about it before, but it actually makes so much sense visually because the room is hexagonal, so the light fixture (and antique table) really play up the odd shape really well.
Now I just need to finish these darn slipcovers!!
What do you think, crazy, cool or undecided?

oh your kitchen is fabulous!..This new fixture is perfect in your seating area...which by the way is such a great idea....such a cozy spot!
Well, I have the RH fixtures, so I am loving the price you paid. Lucky lady.
I think it looks great in your space!
I never would have chosen that for the space, but it looks incredible there!! I also love how the dark finish plays against the light colors. Fab!
Love it!!
Cool!
Is it weird that I love both fixtures just as much?
Really lovely! It adds so much to the whole space.
I have been eyeing the same light from Restoration Hardware-I'm SO glad I saw your post :)
LOVE it!
Ooooh...love it! Oh how I wish we had a Home Sense around these parts! Awesome score :)
Oh, and Home Depot carries the Reproduction Edison bulbs for HALF the price that you will find online (from Rejuvenation, RH, etc.). I think I paid around $8 each for mine and I love them!
Here is the online link:

They sell them in the stores by the single price though!
Perfection, your style sense is spot on sista!
It looks great in that room Holly. Can't say its something I would choose but now that its up it looks unreal. Sandy x

You are so lucky, we have a lack of gorgeous lighting here in Australia let alone bargain pricing.
I think it's crazy awesome!
it's perfect!
Wow the light fixture looks great..I just love the whole thing...Amazing I just love blogging...Blessings Lori
I love it! It does work well with your house and your decor. I can see why you were worried about finding the right light. I think that Lowes has those filament bulbs you're talking about. Do you have one of those in Canada? I don't know. That cool shape will become the focal point for that little space off the kitchen. It's perfect!
LOVE the new light! It is perfect!!! xo Rachel

Well I'm sending you another message...I just spent an hour or so looking up your archives & wow I am so so inspired ...So happy I do not work tomorrow...What will I do!!! Blessings Lori
that pendant is incredible. love it!
Oooh I like. I especially like the industrial/vintage vibe going on in the kitchen & the pretty snow on the trees isn't bad either. Spring will be here before we know it. First time here, stopping by from pinterest. Thanks for the eye candy.
I love it...and love that little area too, so cozy on a cold snowy day. xx
Love it! What a cozy space entirely!
Wow I love everything about this room! Love the mint green, love the light fixture, love it all!
