Even though the farmhouse and cottage vibes are strong in this kitchen, the patterned wallpaper on the sliding barn door wall opens up a love for retro design, and the frosted pendant lights that hang above the island solidify that admiration. The pendant fixtures reflect classic builder-grade flush mount lights that are often seen in older homes with opaque glass being their key feature. These were elevated by the gold tubing and canopy that drop them from the ceiling, creating a look that is nostalgic yet modern. Any light fixture with opaque glass can induce a similar effect.
