This is NOT going in my house!
Although I am resolutely opposed to good taste, even I have limits. This chain lamp is too much for me. It is NOT going in my house.
The thought occured to me that wih a big enough room and a tall ceiling, a mass "installation" of lamps like this would be pretty cool. It would be one of those snarky artistic takes on pop culture in which the viewer is invited to sneer at the taste of a supposed underclass. Everybody likes to feel superior.
The more I think about it, however, the more convinced I am that an "installation" of 50 or more of these things in different colors, shapes, and sizes, hung at different heights would be delightful, even magical. (This photo is going to an artist, or maybe two, I know.)
I am not going to do it... My wife would kill me for sure. (Just kidding, dear). Besides it would cost a fortune to rewire the dining room, install a series of computer-controlled rheostats, and find dimmable LEDs to do it right. Hmmm.
Note: If any viewer wants to give it a try, you have my blessing. Just send me a photo --or invite me to the opening.
