Updated kitchen. The lights don't look like much in the photos, but they are gorgeous, hand-made, translucent porcelain with tiny pinpricks, so they look like stars. I found them a while ago in a gallery, but I couldn't bring myself to buy them because they were so expensive. One day I was walking past the gallery and saw a notice that they were moving, so I went back in and asked them if they were selling these lights. They called me about 3 weeks later, and told me I could have three for the price of the one that they originally quoted me. It felt like these lights were certainly destined for me, and having got three for the price of one allowed me to believe that I had somehow got a bargain. This was not of course technically so, since they were still far more than one would normally consider paying for what is after all just a lampshade. Interestingly, lights have proved to be my achilles heel, the one thing I have consistently splurged on. If you ignore the fact that the kids got chinese paper balls from Ikea.
