apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

This is so hot.

The concept is great, and I just love the look of it. It's especially cool, however, if they actually reused existing balls; somehow I doubt that.

It's hot... Till you have to clean it. Those balls will attract all kinds of dust.

Yes, this is hot, but I'd go a step further and use a ping-pong table to dine on, with this above it.

...or maybe not.

This is Captain Kangaroo's lamp!

Even hotter, make your own:

I just posted how I "love white pieces that are textured, but minimal"....I mean, ditto!

I usually dislike this kind of reuse-thing-as-a-lamp hack, but this? Love.

LOVE it. thought it was golf balls at first. (ACK!) and then saw it wasn't.. way cool.

It reminds me of Dippin Dots.

Next thing you know, they'll be making belts with Wrigley's gum wrappers or bringing back the pop top!

i think it would be much hotter if the p/p balls were brightly colored.

Great idea...and wouldn't it be fun to be there if they all came down at once.
