The look transformed the breakfast bar.  From outdated contemporary to timeless.  It works with seamlessly between my kitchen and living room.  One room is English traditional and the other is French country.  I have received numerous compliments!  I used Edison Bulbs but I have ONE SUGGESTION!  Do not use 60 watt bulbs!  You will feel like you are on a Broadway stage!  I ordered the 40 watt bulbs to swap out and will post a picture in a few days.  I LOVE these!  The cord straightens out in a few days from the weight of the shade and the bronze/brass of the light is too nice to be able to describe!
