apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Hmm. What would appear to be a cardboard chandalier candles fire = bye bye apartment. Pretty, but I sure as heck hope it wasn't intended to be functional.

I love it! These pieces would be right at home in the basement decorated with a Sharpie interior mural:

Oops. My plus signs in my post disappeared. Magic!

But basically, I'm thinking lighting the candles on that chandalier is asking for trouble.

I think it's plastic, not cardboard.

Hmmm. They're sold in galleries that say "price upon request". That's a bad sign. The whole idea of making cute replicas like these is to have a fun copy of the real thing. But if they cost as much as the real thing, what's the point? That's not fun.

Back in my day the chandaliers came in three dimensions!

No

I despise these. Fiercely.

If these were the next 'limited edition' at Target (and at Target prices), then maybe it would be fun.
As GreatFriend pointed out, "price upon request" is usually a bad sign, because if you have to ask the price, then . . . well, we all know how that ends --> badly.

This collection was featured in the New York Times March 17, 2005. Same photos -- very old news.

It would be appropriate for a little girls room or any other room that had no intention of taking itself seriously. So, cute idea....but limited application.
