We ordered these in a brushed gold for our previous fixer upper, and we got countless compliments on them. They are a lovely, warm gold. They brighten the whole space, and the light from them is nice and soft, not too harsh like I feared they might be, given the clear globe. We ended up selling the house to my mom, and the first thing she asked us about the house was "you are leaving those pendant lights, right?" haha :) Guess we'll have to find something equally wonderful for this next fixer upper!
