First and foremost, I have to apologize if in the next few weeks, I'm not as on top of my blog game as usual. Life here is CRAZY. Yes, I realize I always say that...but right now, I barely have time to think. I just started summer classes on Monday, and I have yet to get back into my school groove (plus, they're summer classes, which means they go twice as fast, which means additional craziness). Once I get back into the swing of things it will be all fine and hunky-dory...I just need to get back into it.
Also, I've been running around kingdom come helping my client with his house...not that I'm complaining at all. I literally stopped myself today and thought, "I can't believe I am getting PAID to do this...this is SO MUCH FUN!" So, that also keeps me busy, but strangely also keeps me sane.
However, what is driving me 100% completely insane right now are our wedding invitations. And yes, I realize I brought this stress upon myself since I just HAD to make them the most complex things ever...but ugh, I'm literally going cross eyed. I'm wishing I would have done something super simple and adorable like this:
Oh well....live and learn. Anyways, I wanted to have them in the mail weeks ago, and here I am, still trying to print these suckers. Took them one place: too glossy. Took them another place: too expensive. Try printing them at home: total catastrophe. So, I decided to turn my frustration into inspiration. Since it is "Wedding Wednesday" after all, I decided to see how invitations could inspire home design. Enter YLighting's Zettel'z 5 Chandelier.
The Zettel'z 5 Chandelier lets you clip notes and pictures and whatever you want to create a completely custom chandelier. It's a great place to showcase kids' work and other cutesy stuff like that. However, I can't decide if I completely love this chandelier or completely hate it. I keep going back and forth. I love the idea of it and think it is unique and different...but I'm so much of a perfectionist if all of the papers weren't the same size I think it would drive me crazy.

What do you guys think about this chandelier? Yay or nay? Would you proudly display this over your dining room table, or stash it in the bottom of a closet somewhere?
I think the idea is amazing, but I wouldn't be able to hang it for the same reason you stated. Unless all the papers were the same size and the same color it would drive me crazy or I'd constantly be rearranging it. I'd probably do ok with it in a kids room or a play room though...
ReplyDeleteI think that would be a great idea for a kids room or playroom! It'd be something fun of "theirs" that they would get to make however they want. And then if it doesn't match, at least it isn't in our dining room :)
