Does anyone know where I can find a chandelier like that one on the right side of the top photo? I checked the link to the original post, but no luck.

Don't know exactly, but click my name for something similar.

There has been so much Ikea-bashing on the part of AT's moderators in the past year or so, but lots of shoutouts for West Elm.

Friends, may I say: I find West Elm's furniture to be OVERPRICED JUNK. It's flimsy, rickety at the joints, and the veneers start peeling if you look at them the wrong way. It seems to me "disposable" furniture masquerading as quality stuff. (Their accessories, I think, are lovely, but also overpriced - I never touch 'em before they go on sale.) Ikea at least keeps the prices modest, by and large.

Why the West Elm love? Is it just on the basis of the swanky surfaces?

I love the idea of sleeping in the closet. It would be perfect for a studio shared by two people.
