Make your own light fixture with a designer's blessing
The terrific Grace Bonney had a piece on her equally terrific Design Sponge yesterday that talked about how to make a Lindsey Adelman chandelier . Why this stands out is that the resulting fixture isn't a knock off. Rather, it's an Adelman-endorsed undertaking.
Let me give an explanation for a little bit. Lindsey Adelman is a lights designer, but that doesn't start to describe her work. She's an artist and innovative fashion designer in popular and nowadays she's expressing herself via lights. That sounds more adore it. Adelman's paintings is as different as it is desired and for most people, an Adelman chandelier is a pipe dream. It's fodder for "when I make it rich" daydreams.
However, Adelman has a solution. On her website and blog, she has downloadable instructions on how to make the chandelier pictured here . She's even included a parts list and links to where you can buy the parts on line. Brava!
So, want a challenge for this weekend? If you're making one of these chandeliers, Adelman wants to pay attention from you. Send her a photograph. While you are at it, send me one too. I'd love to peer any individual take this on. Who's up for it?
