What's Kapening? Tiny Bubbles.

When I was a student at Harrington Institute of Interior Design, my design teacher once told me that once you finish a project, take a moment and record the images into your mind.  Because...she said, it would never again look the way you see it at that moment.  This is a photo of a project that I haven't worked on in over a year.  The lovely couple who lives here have a small child,Max, who is the prince of this palace...Max lords over a minion of toys I never dreamt of as a child...So it was a pleasant surprise, when I arrived to help them arrange some newly acquired artwork, that this is how the place looks after a year of Max's rule.  Not too bad! Yes there are toys to the immediate left of this photo but hey...the money shot is still worth a million.  By the way, this pendant in all its bubbly goodness is one of my favorite light fixture of all times...I originally picked it because there was supposed to be a large salt water fish tank on that wall behind the sofa.  I thought the crystal balls remind me of jellyfish...and water bubbles...so you know...very appropiate.  I'm glad they didn't go through with the fish tank... because I think the pendant deseves its own space.
