What do you guys think of this lamp for a kitchen?

We have a small kitchen, so it can't be anything too big. Right now, the ceiling light that we have gives off this hospital, flourescent glow that bugs me to pieces. I cook with just the overhead stove light on because it hate it that much. I'm going to IKEA today to check it out, I really like the price, only $30, but I'm not convinced just yet. I want to see what kind of "light" it gives off too.
Do you think it could have a cool, retro type vibe? Or will it just look wierd?
Re: Opinions Please!
The lamp isn't ugly, but just not my style. I would have to see pic of your kitchen to better judge. Worst case you buy it, don't like it, and return it! LOL

Yeah, I'm not that convinced either. It's just so frustrating. I can't find exactly that I want you know? I really like this one too from Ballard Designs. DH wasn't too crazy about it, but I think when I saw it he would like it. The price tag is a little higher than I would like though.
The reason why I like it is because the kitchen opens to the dining room and the light fixture we have there is a round drum shade, so I figured maybe it would sort of "go together". What do you think?
OOOOOo I love this one... Honest opinion The first one is too retro/groovy. Not a fan.

The first one is definitely retro and not my style, but I would have to see your kitchen to judge wether or not it would go. I definitely like second one better, and if the lamp in the dinning room is the way you describe than this one will go much better for both rooms!!!
good luck

Very nice, I really like it. My only concern is that I like bright lights, especially for the kitchen. I would worry that the light would not be bright enough becuase of the frosted glass. Know what I mean? You have to go see it in person.
The first one is a little too modern for me, I feel like it wouldn't be a little harsh. I love the second one, modern but much softer.
Good luck!
