I like how minimal these saucer pendants are. Two or three small pendants like this might be the best way to maximize the view.

Not the most flattering photo. Designed by our friend Will's employer. They had one at their wedding. Kind of casual, but very interesting. $450 (not sure if it's still available though)

the lights looks good with the mixed cabinet finishes. These are probably too small/underpowered to be practical lighting for over a dining room table, but i like the aesthetic.

I've seen this pendant everywhere. Didn't like it at first, but it's kind of growing on me now.

natural geometry that echos the shingles on the house. $490. Seems to be inspired by the famous artichoke pendant (next on this list), but I like this one much more.
I clipped this as a reference, not for the lights. the cabinets, countertops (back) and backsplash are similar to ours.
