Hanging Chads

From West Elm

"Chandelier," or pendant?

Not always a fan of West Elm...but sometimes, they get it so right...

Sci Fi

It's the last scene in a science fiction movie, the triumphal ending in which all the fighter jets spray out across the galaxy in search of new worlds to liberate...

...or, it's an Energy Being from a "Star Trek episode" (original series, of course!!)

Despair has been averted. 

Now, if they could only mass produce this using Lucite and not-real-gold for sale at Target and Ikea, my life would have some meaning...

Why do you have on glasses?

Are the glasses really part of the ensemble? 

Or, are you just geting lazy?

And a black t-shirt?

This is nothing that a little paint,

some real candles,

and a few more crystals wouldn't make heart-rendingly lovely...

The bulb is your soul....

"Claire de Lune" Chandelier, by Claire Requa

via Etsy

(via Eunice!)

It's the color of the bulb that makes me dizzy with bliss--

without that, this would be almost nothing....

I would cover the cord in ruched chocolate brown (not dove grey, maybe blood red) velvet......and not silk dupioni...

because this chandelier almost avoids every cliche

...and the photo kills me and forces me back in utero to contemplate samsara
