lately i’ve found myself gravitating towards a mix of worn-in wooden antiques and industrial accessories. something about that combination of metal and wood feels like the perfect balance of feminine and masculine that i think might actually make both me and ac happy. so when i saw photo of a new industrial chandelier from workstead i was instantly smitten. hello, dream kitchen. ok, so i may want to add more color and just a dash of wallpaper in there, but other than that, perfection. though the price is out of my budget ($1150), i can’t keep myself from looking around the house, searching for something to sell to raise the money to buy this sucker. until then, i’ll keep admiring this beauty from afar. if you’re in the market for a lovely chandelier and have a little extra spending money (lucky), click here to check out workstead online and contact them about purchasing.

I agree i am also super attracted to worn wood pieces and funky metal pieces! It is a great combo…I love that you are looking around for something to sell, that made me laugh!
I am really in love with this combination as well!
You know, this should be reasonably simple to build. Clamps from a pro-video store, the connectors copper water pipes sprayed black.
I bet with a bit of ingenuity you could make your own for 50 bucks.
This is so lovely … reminds me of the new Restoration Hardware furniture line. Wonderful!
me too! I keep trying to find ways to make my house not look like a teen girl’s. lol. Love that farmhouse table!
Looks like it’s made from microphone stands…or at least operates like they do. I bet you could build one too. Be sure to post pics if you do!
newly domesticated: I have found the holy grail for farmhouse tables at http://www.barnwoodclassics.com.
i would how it looks at night!
i’m also a huge fan of metal and wood!
something seems a little off, but I cant seem to look away…
I love this chandelier – the combo of warm wood and cool metal is both stylish and cozy.
i love metal and wood as well, it just feels right. not as rustic, but the combo translates well into jewelry as well: http://goldandcitrus.com/products/mandarin
i was on the verge of buying this – i saw it a few days ago. So hot. But sadly enough, I think I will DYI for a light fixture to keep the budget down.
This is my favorite design combination too! It looks great. I really need an old farmhouse table STAT!
How clever, i like the industrial feel of it, and styling is very good as well, I am going to post about it.
I love this – I am also a sucker for industrial pieces, but $1150 is more than expensive, it’s kinda just wrong? Room & Board has some great raw metal pieces and I have a lamp from Ikea that I fell in love with it – light bulbs everywhere. Thanks for your many blog posts – always entertaining!
my favorite colors in design are black, white and brown…but this room makes me feel sad.
The room itself is gorgeous, the white walls and the moldings…I even kind of like the light…but the furniture and that sad sad sorry excuse for a centerpiece makes me want to cry. That is a dinning room that says “please dont stay long, we never really liked you in the first place, oh and we are too pretentious to serve you anything with salt or butter”.
I love modern design, but somehow I feel like lately its been bastardized to where quality is nonexistant and every piece of furniture only has a shelf life until the lease is up.
I am growing fonder and fonder or highly ornamated statement furniture…like a large chinoiserie cabinet, or a rococo gold leafed hall table.
Loving everything about this room!

I love this look too…. I keep imagining myself in an industrial loft with worn wood furniture and this put another image to it.
love the old wooden floor.
I’m with Andreas… Only flat note on that beautiful design is that naked light bulbs are really stark and not good for ‘lighting’ the room. Trust me – i’ve made similar for myself and the kids’ rooms. I’m moving back to something with a minimum lamp shade of frosted glass or tracing paper with random positive words…
They won’t be made till after Xmas though…
