Object of Lust: The Motherlamp

How amazing would this gigantic, wood-veneer pendant light look hung in a voluminous open loft, or over a circular table in a high-ceilinged dining room?

You'd have to have a lot of decorating confidence -- not to mention a lot of cash ($2,800, to be exact) -- to pull it off. But boy, talk about a bold statement.

Take a gander at the Motherlamp on ModernTots.

Cool Stuff: Tetrad Shelving

I do realize that this Tetrad Shelving is being marketed as a juvenile product, but I see no reason why kids should have all the fun.

Each set comes with five different interlocking shapes and is available with a white or birch exterior and white or multicolor backing panels. Available for $750 per set from ModernTots.
