I love the Arctic Pear lights at Ochre. I don’t know what the price range is for them. I wonder if the Caboche family has a more down to earth price?

The Roost Halo chandelier is just what I had been looking for to hang over the kitchen island in our new house and after looking at the Roost website I found hanging lights for the dining room table and placed an order yesterday for lights for both rooms. Your blog is a daily read for me, thanks so much for the wonderful links.

There seem to be in modern contemporary chandelier design a trend towards simplicity which is refreshing but at the same time people may be overdoing it considering that some of them are just structures with bulbs fixed on. That is more like the original wooden cross used to fix candles that were the starting point of all chandeliers. It would be much better if we can make modern chandeliers to have new designs as well as modern technological features. Your ideas are appreciated.
