Thanks--------but actually I thought the conventional wisdom was- either 1/2 to 2/3 of the width of the table,
My table is 39 inches wide.
OR
To add the dimensions which would be 12 plus 12 =24.

So that's why I am asking.
I can't stand skimpy light fixtures. I'd go at least 20" or maybe even 24". I'd probably go 24" actually.
I love the look of drum fixtures - just had two installed over my kitchen island. I would go with a larger one too. The only thing I don't like about the examples you gave is that they all have hardware showing below the drum. Personal taste, I know, but I don't care for the metal showing below the drum.
Thank you- I agree about skimpy fixtures. I just was hesitating because although the one that's there is 24 ish inches, it's kind of light in presence if you know what I mean.
And thank you rfomd- but for me, I think I like that feature but I do appreciate your honestly!

Still working on the kitchen cabinets in my spare time. I may be painting these cabinets well into 2022, and my kitchen is not at all large. What I've done looks good, though, especially given how old the cabinets are.
From everything I have heard and read, in order to get the painted cabinets to look good and function well, it is either a professional ( spraying) job or if manual, it's a very tedious process. Chances are yours will come out great.

It might be, but in my case it was not very hard. We had painted cupboards that were perhaps 10 years old. DH made sure they were free of any grease, sanded them very lightly and painted on 2 coats of latex enamel with primer. We were going from a “hazelnut” color to white. High quality paint and good brushes are key.

I've done it myself and they came out great! Preparation is essential. I removed the doors, sanded all the cabinets, painted one coat of primer and one coat of white paint (I think it was semi-gloss for the kitchen) and re-hung the cabinet doors.
I used small rollers for most of the paint and paint brushes with "cut in" edges for the trim areas of the cabinets. I wouldn't say it was difficult - just time consuming - but I like having projects.
