apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

We first spotted these in Pasadena, at Dwell Furniture, off of South Lake, but they are also available online at Velocity Art and Design. However, they're a little pricey for our budget, starting at around $230. We're thinking that these could be a fun DIY project, perhaps using a small inexpensive pendant light kit, and a vintage birdcage (or new to look vintage?) of your liking. You could easily stencil your own design on the shade as well (we're thinking butterflies could make a great option too...)- spark any ideas?
