Let there be vintage, future-space-inspired light

This old Sputnik chandelier was purchased before the kid was born from Uncommon Objects for his nursery.

I couldn’t find a photo of the whole thing, but, it’s reflected in this one:

I KNOW RIGHT!? That much cute should be illegal.

We loved it but, when he got his loft bed there was no space for it. It took a concession from the pantry to get this to work… we will have to have only half-doors on the upper part of one of the pantry units (as soon as IKEA gets those doors in anyway!), but, that’s worth it for the extra light not to mention super-fun addition.

The thing was pretty badly tarnished after being stored away for years. Marc and I polished it for a couple nights – as long as we could stand the smell, then we stopped and decided that the dark spots gave it character.
