The husband has been pondering the idea of building a dramatic chandelier out of eight desk lamps mounted to a central hub. I recall mentioning the idea to a friend of mine while we were still in our old place, and she said something like, "But your place is so......nice." Also, every time I think about it, this post from Unhappy Hipsters comes to mind:
Their commentary was a bit odd until I realized the tie-in they wanted to make: this is the kitchen light fixture in Flaming Lips' lead singer Wayne Coyne's Oklahoma abode (covered in this
New York Times article). It appears to be a 16-lamp contraption—much grander than our plan. We'll actually have enough room in the new space to do justice for something of the 8-lamp scale. So, I'm still open to the idea. Still need to find the right desk lamps...
