What kind of light do you have over the sink?
Any suggestions for us here? I am thinking a small pendant or something.

Hmm, I'm gonna be the odd one out and say pendant might be too obtrusive vertically, and too skinny. I vote for something like this

I'm with @Bookworm: I think a pendant light in that wide of a space might be too skinny and long.
I would do either something like this with the wider light fixture or multiple smaller pendants.

Thanks Ladies! I love the pendant look but aren't sure with how it would look with the wide window. Plus, I wouldn't want it to block the view of the window.
I also have to figure out the blinds. The window faces the street so I guess I just need to put the mini blinds back up for now.

I also vote for a wider light fixture or multiple small pendants. You should do a poll!

Oh, I like the 1st one that @prettylizy: posted. A bit wider but still has the pendant look. I don't think something like that would block the light or view!

I have fluorescent lights in my kitchen too. Gives it a nice, cozy institutional feel! (Kidding. But we rent, so they're going to stay, regardless of my feelings about them.)
I like the multiple-pendant idea, although I'd pick something smaller than the ones in the photos above so they'd be less intrusive. I don't much care for single pendants--they often read "interrogation room" to me, and I don't think I'd like that while washing dishes, you know?

I agree with wider light fixture or multiple single pendants.

@Sammyfab: Added a poll! Let me know if there are other options I should add

I like something like this. We also have a light on the ceiling between the sink and the stove that needs replaced. It needs at least three bulbs which posts a challenge.
The rest of our house is pretty traditional, but I am hoping to go a bit more rustic/modern!
