A few days ago I posted this room inspired by an editorial image from Elle France.
I asked you, my readers, to help me with the lighting by giving you three fixture options to choose from. I'm glad to announce we have a winner! To my happy surprise the winning fixture was......
Option #3, Restoration Hardware's Foucault's Iron Orb Chandelier!!!
This piece was inspired by a nineteenth century physicist, Leon Foucault, and his gyroscope. Makes you want to watch The Big Bang Theory, right?
I say I was happily surprised because I thought most people would go for the more traditional fixtures. Option #2 was close to being the winner...
...but then my fabulous sister made the comment that it looks like a naked lady oil lamp my chic Grandmother use to own...
Sadly, this lamp has a special place in my heart, though this may be one item from the 70's we shouldn't try to resurrect. After a little research, I found out these lamps were popular in the 70's, along with disco and fondue. Needless to say, this reference may have killed #2's chance of being the winner.
Thanks again for your participation! I may have to take poles more often!
