Allison sent me to this dining room about an hour before Jen (of the infamous Cake Wrecks), the creator, dropped me a line.
I love the details the most:
These are handmade buttons -- from pennies! Jen has a whole post about how she made them. I love how they look.
She steampunked a gumball machine with bronze and aged copper paint, and filled it with ceramic number balls (I have the corresponding letter balls, but no place nearly as neat to put them...).
Do you like how the light reflects through the glass onto the ceiling? I sure do.
I had to laugh at these drawer pulls -- I've been searching around for a "bin pull + label" handle for a while, and have only found one, which wasn't quite right. Jen just used her existing bin pulls and added label holders meant for scrapbooking -- 5 for $3! The labels themselves with their spidery writing are with a free font called Schoon.
Good job, Jen. Definitely send us an update if you ever settle on the perfect chandelier...
