Lighting question (floor, counters, kitchen cabinets, maple)

[NC_Paddler]

Hi again . . . I have a lighting question for you all . . . so my kitchen has a bar counter which opens up into the dining room, and my kitchen cabinets are going to have reddish tones (cranberry stain on maple).

It seems like there are two directions I could go:

1. Use these red pendant lights over the kitchen bar counter to tie in with the cabinets and black counters:

5" Verona Pendant Light - 502-1FR ELK lighting (http://www.simplypendantlighting.com/spl5021frek.html - broken link)

(I've seen the lights next to my counters, cab color, counters, and floor samples and it looks pretty darn slick imo).

2. Instead use a red chandelier in the dining room to transition into the redness of the kitchen cabinets (Kenroy 44305BSLAVA - Medici Modern / Contemporary Chandelier KR-44305-BS-LAVA) and select a different (non-red) pendant instead.

I want the red to be accentuated, but don't want to overwhelm the home with red. Or maybe the cabinets themselves are enough red?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

I like the chandelier, do you have a picture of the cabinets?
