I understand that living in an apartment means that any major changes we make to our living space will probably have to be changed back before we move out. For example, we know that we have a 5-gallon bucket of Kilz primer in our future to cover up all the painting we did. But as tempted as I am, I don’t want to be responsible for switching light fixtures, then having to switch them back. Still, I’m dreaming of a dining room punctuated by a beautiful pendant or chandelier, and this woven option from West Elm just might make me change my mind.
I grew up in the Virgin Islands where it wasn’t unusual to see items made of woven palm leaves. But I guarantee that none of them were quite this stunning. This pendant would be just as at home in a modern, minimal loft as it would be in a villa near the beach somewhere. And at just under $200 for a fixture more than 23 inches in diameter, you get a lot of presence for not a whole lot of money.

This is really nice. And I checked out the West Elm page for this and it doesn’t come with a bulb, so to make it fully green & gorgeous, use an LED light bulb in it!
