Really Love This...




I'm dying to use this chandelier made out of capiz shells somewhere- be it my house or a client's!!   (I'm running out of light fixtures to replace in my own--eek! ;)  It reminds me a bit of a vintage sputnik chandelier:



It's the Pearl Lotus Flower Chandelier from VivaTerra and depending upon the size is either $329 or $649. 



On another note, I'm so behind on my emails & my blog reading and am really sorry if you've emailed me & I haven't gotten back to you.  (Just trying to stay afloat over here with the new little guy.)  Please feel free to email me again if you had a question I didn't answer. 
xoxo,
lauren

  2. Lauren! I picked this out for my client's dining room! We got the small size, but it's still as beautiful as the large. I can't wait for you to see pics :)

  5. Oh, this is so awesome. So, so awesome. It makes me want to find dollars I don't have to hire you as my designer simply so we can find SOMEWHERE in my home for this. L.O.V.E.

  6. Lauren, I was recently introduced to your blog and I'm hooked! You have such a good eye. I love this fixture as well... I just saw a smaller version of this at market in 4 different bright colors! Would be a fun option for kids rooms. I think they were from Worlds Away. xoRH

  9. LOVE this fixture! I wonder if there is a way to hardwire it? I think the exposed cord running down the wall would really bug me. But I think it would look great as an alternative to a table lamp next to the chair in my living room!!! I am off to investigate...

  18. Great light fixtures. I'm sure no one will mind if you can't get to your email - you just had a baby! When my kids were born I could barely find clean clothes to put on.

  24. Lauren, I see why you love this,it is gorgeous. So unique and whimsical. I am a lighting fanatic myself, I have lamps not only on tables but hiding in my closets. You can never have enough lamps, right? Kathysue

  26. Beautiful shade of pink...and I'm not a pink person. :-) My heavens, don't even be concerned about emails, etc. Your little ones are so precious and time is short with them. We'll still be here!
