YOU ASKED FOR IT!!
Seriously, this is a real chandelier for those of you (of us) who are seriously green. I just thought it was too funny to pass up . . . because sometimes we take ourselves a little too seriously and laughter is the best way to right many wrongs. Seriously.
A three day Holiday weekend is upon us. That’s plenty of time to enjoy a refreshing drink of water, visit walkingthings.com, and have some fun pondering the mysteries of life, such as:
What if the Hokey-Pokey really is what it’s all about?

IN. WAY, WAY IN!
In today’s home you can take a classic crystal chandelier and hang it anywhere . . . Dining room, of course. Master bedroom, oooh. Master bath, opulent and witty. Guest bedroom, oo-la-la. Guest bedroom closet, oh come on! Just kidding about the closet.
Classic crystal is alive and well in 2008. Tradition provides the sustenance for the journey as glimmer and shimmer remain exquisitely in demand. Who can resist a touch of the Red Carpet?
Here is the gorgeous answer for someone with contemporary leanings. No fuss, no muss - not your mom’s chandelier. The search is over. The chandelier is finished in an updated, urban, nickle finish. The polished crystal orbs repeat two crucial elements: sleekness and smoothness.
2008 meets the (soon to become classic) crystal chandelier!
Modern infusions offer the drama of crystal with the simple grace of unfettered design.
The chandelier is available in 2 sizes and has complimentary fixtures, completing the collection .

THE CUTTING EDGE IN LIGHTING THIS YEAR IS FRESH and UNEXPECTED
The style shift in ceiling mount fixtures can easily be categorized as something with joie de vivre! So, once again I offer up a delectable tidbit from the same company in our lighting collection. The feeling evokes playfulness and sophistication all in one!
This fresh new look is for those who prefer a clean, contemporary style, but who insist on a touch of bling. It is sleek and dramatic.
The piece offers so much in the way of diversity it would be a perfect appointment in a transitional room with an environmental flavor, as well. It is light and airy.
But wait – there is more!
Can you see the woven texture? Picture a high-tech kitchen in your mind’s eye. This simple chandelier can even carry an industrial appeal, moving perfectly into the dining area. It is metal and utilitarian. It doesn’t even have to be called a chandelier – it is a ceiling mount fixture. And the great news is that it is just one of many inovative designs in that category.
So, are you asking, “Is the classic crystal chandelier OUT?”
NO WAY!
Come back next time and I’ll show you what I’m talking about.

Here is a perfect example of lamp=art.
I have long believed that lamps should always be considered as additional artwork. This whimsical, yet elegant piece couldn’t drive that point home any louder! I know it made you smile!
If you looked at last week’s post on GLAMPS, you’d probably be surprised to find out that this lamp is from the same company. Designers appreciate this company for it’s diversity, craftsmanship and for their artistic embellishment. Some of us even think they have a sense of humor!
As Bob Dylan once said,
“Little red wagon, little red bike. I aint no monkey, but I know what I like.”
Are you smiling again?!
Have a happy weekend.
