Lighting Conundrum

For some reason, the two largest rooms in our house have ZERO lighting.  None.  We've doubled the amount of lamps we own since buying this house, just to create some light!  

It's worse in the kitchen, since that's where we eat and hang out.  And in the summer, it's not a problem, since it's light so late.  But in the winter...it's like we're eating by candle-light!  

So I finally decided what I WANT in that room, but now we're just not sure how to make it happen.  

This is what it looks like now...
 

And this is what I'd like...
 


IKEA has the cutest little hanging pendant lights, but the only problem is, they have a normal plug, and 10 feet away from the middle of the room, we have.....
 
 
THIS.

Can we strip the plug and combine 3-4 pendants in an electrical box?  Any thoughts/ideas would be appreciated!

i'm sure anything is possible :) Collin just rigged up our baby swing to plug in instead of batteries :)
