When we walked into this upscale furniture store, I thought upscale referred to the price and quality of the merchandise. For the most part this was an accurate assumption. The surprise was that in many cases upscale also described the actual relative size of the furniture. I swear there was this cabinet that was taller than Karen, AndiBean and me all stacked up on each other's shoulders. Which means that it was not only too humongous to fit in any average person's house, it might come in handy to hide an entire football team in that you just kidnapped. Should such a scenario ever arise. Also way too big for practical purposes was this absolutely gorgeous light fixture.
It looks to me like the result that would ensue should you seed a bank of angry cumulonimbus clouds with grape Kool-Aid. Upscale purple rain. I wonder if Prince has one of these hanging over his dining room table. If he doesn't, he should.

That's pretty cool!
It is! Wish I had been able to get something in there for scale but it was hanging too high. Easily three feet tall not including the chain it's hanging from.
I'm normally not into flash and glitz, but this thing is gorgeous!
Where is it?
DeWitt Designs in Sioux Falls. I was so busy trying to photograph it I neglected to look at the price tag. Everything else in the store was waaaaaay out of my price range so I expect this beauty of a light fixture probably is, too.
I *believe* that particular item had a $1600 price tag, though I can't be sure. I took a cell pic of the cabinet if you need proof that $11k antique Chinese armoires exist in South Dakota! (and to think the $11k was a BARGAIN versus its expected retail price...gag me)
We went in with an ok attitude but within 5 minutes we were in full mock mode. I still love this light fixture!
