SPIKEY SPHERES

I've been working on the guest bedroom with my granddaughters in mind.  Even though the room has a European vibe, I chose this modern Sputnik flush mount lighting.   I filled a large empty wall with some decoartor paper.  It gives the effect of over-sized art and is the perfect backdrop for my spikey chandy. 

SPIKEY CHANDY

Originally this room had a vintage chandelier with acanthus leaves.  I really liked it, but anyone over 5'4" bumped into it.

The acanthus leaves were fabulous.

After choosing the new lighting, I realized that I have a thing for spikey objects.  This sphere is on one of the shelves in my dining room cupboard.

The spikey sphere on a pedestal is my dining room centerpiece.  I've written about it before here.  It actually is a light fixture that never made it to the ceiling.

Another spikey sphere rests on an Hermes book box in a corner of the family room bookcase.

I'll be posting more of the guest room as I complete it.  I pretty much removed everything.  It's much easier for me to start with a blank slate.

MY LIGHTING ISN’T GOING TO MAKE IT TO THE CEILING

 Recently I purchased this wonderful flush mount lighting from @monicagarrettinteriors.  I love the spikes.  My intention was to hang it in my butler's pantry.  While I was waiting for my “electrician”, aka my husband, I put it into my wood pedestal compote in the center of my dining room table.  I like it there.  I'm calling it my accidental centerpiece.

Here's a closer look.  It's obviously up side down in the compote.

I originally planned on replacing the vintage crystal pendant chandelier in the butler's pantry with this new lighting.

So what do you think?  Should I leave it in the compote or hang it in the pantry?
