I LOVE that chandelier, and all the yellow makes me very happy. Thanks for showing the inspiration in a PB catalog!

Anyone seen anything like the Edison for a little bit less? I’d love to put that in my son’s “undersea” room….

I guess sometimes I am really confused by this blog. Years ago, it used to focus a little more on very modern things, now more on crafty almost hip country feeling things. Now you mention the urge to put the Pottery Barn items in a more modern setting, but they seem to fit right along with the theme of this blog over the past year or more.

that chandelier is a guaranteed conversation piece. way to go pottery barn!

The same thing happened to me, just last night. I usually don’t even open the PB catalogues. They have some great stuff! It does make me think that the Wearstler-ish trellis prints are completely played. I love the owl duvet for my daughter and the chain rug is insane.

Loooove the spider-y draping of that light fixture!

The edison chandelier is outstanding!

I have the Edison chandelier in my library and it’s even better in person. (Dimmer is a must, though.) It’s a bit like sitting in a Christmas tree…

Oh, and I did the same thing – I never look at catalogs and I thought I hated Pottery Barn – but I happened to flip through one a couple of months ago and found that light and had to have it. I think they must have a new design director, because things seem to be changing.

This just fuels my love of Pottery Barn. And maybe I love it so much because they don’t ship to Australia, so I can’t have anything!! I do love that chandelier, gorgeous.

i noticed that, too. I walked into a store a few weeks ago, even though I’ve never liked PB, and I saw lots of things I liked, but all of which seemed very different from PB before.

i love the chandelier!

and brian everett – can’t a blog evolve? especially when it is about current design trends, etc. ?

Those lamps are hot. And the textiles are to die for. So beautiful!!

I’ve been into that chandelier for a while now, and every time I see it I need it more and more. A possible DIY with an electrician friend of mine? A very possible yes.

hi grace – love your blog. as responsible citizens of this world, we must stop subscribing to paper catalogues, esp if we dont go through them, even if they go straight to recycling.
i am sure i can count on you to do this and alert the bloggers who come to your site.

Hi Grace,

You can get rid of them. I do this periodically. It works for a while and then they start coming again.

Woah- this is Pottery Barn? Nice surprise. Everyone’s already said it, but I love that chandelier.

And the catalog thing DOES work, but it takes a few months. Now I get hardly any!

angelune: certainly a blog can evolve. That wasn’t my point, but anyway it doesn’t matter.

I’m certainly sorry if I offended any readers and especially Grace: my intent was not to do that. I was merely making a claim.

Believe me, I love this blog. I wouldn’t have been reading it thoroughly for the past 3 years if I didn’t.

Keep up the great work!

It is so obvious that PB reads Graces blog!

Its obvious that Pottery Barn pays attention to modern design and rips of the aesthetic.

i must say that for me, owning PB feels like carrying a fake purse from Canal street…

I am looking for a picture of the blue and white seashell theme that Pottery Barn had about 2 years ago, I don’t know how to research it!
