Transformed :: Got a Light?

Are you all familiar with the old saying that “The cobbler’s children go barefoot”? For those of you who didn’t know, I (Claire) am an interior designer here in Austin. And while I absolutely revel in hunting down the perfect items for transforming our clients’ spaces, I’ve found that I often fail to treat my own home with the same careful thoughtfulness. Fabulous lighting is one area where I totally covet some of my clients’ pieces — the right light fixture can serve as a work of art, and transforms nice rooms into extraordinary spaces. But since many of my favorite designs are outside of my budget, I’ve set out to make one myself. I’ve been scouring the web for some inspirational images, but before I commit to a design I’d love to hear your opinions: Which of these light fixtures would you like to see reinterpreted and recreated? Pitch in your thoughts and ideas in the comments section, and stay tuned for the reveal with instructions in two weeks!
