Did POTTERYBARN Copy my CHANDELIER?

Perhaps they did! Funny how I had mine out there for the 'public' eye and now PotteryBarn will have a 'version' of my canning jar chandelier available in October!?!?!?! Very interesting.
Tell me which you like better, theirs or mine? And I promise, you won't hurt my feelings.

How much light is needed?

Many times people ask me 'how much light do I need'? And I'm sure there is a scientific answer, but to me the question is so personal that I can't answer it.
Not only do you have the number of windows in the room, you have to think of the other lights you might be using, i.e. table and floor lamps. Also, how do you intend on using the room? Viewing TV in a brightly lit room, is not very pleasing to me, but either is trying to do a task without enough light. So, again it becomes a personal choice.

Jodi's design style has been snatched up by 'The Limited'. Here's what Jodi says about her work. "My design voice has always been inspired by my love of prints, patterns, and creating unique twists that are unexpected yet at the same time very wearable.

New York Recording Studio

I'm so excited...my newest industrial creation has been snatched up by a recording studio in New York! This lamp is great by itself, but when I had the set finished and together, it was Awesome! In addition, I added the vintage inspired Edison 'Squirrel Cage' bare bulb and it popped. Though the Industrial look is not for everyone, it does fit well with both contemporary and vintage looks alike.
