"Swede" lighting :)

Late last night as I was getting side tracked online and googling Swedish designers I came across a site called bsweden.com that has some really great modern looking light fixtures. The one light fixture that caught my attention was this steel crocheted looking fixture.....I liked it right off the bat because......back in 2001 when Hiro and I got married [July 20th] our first apartment was a fully furnished studio on the 27th floor in a condominium on 43rd & 10th. Now before I go any further, I feel it necessary to describe what the studio was furnished with. Basically all the furniture, lighting, plates, glasses, shower curtain etc. were all from FINGERHUT!!! I personally HATE HATE HATE I mean HATE that place [that is probably the only thing on earth that I really HATE!] It's all faux wood and faux brass furnishings that are wobbly and gigantic. So our 400 sq. foot studio had a full size bed, ugly large cream leather couch, circle table and two chairs a large dresser and a HUGE GIGANTIC entertainment center that was about 7 feet tall and 8 feet wide with ever so lovely mirror paneling to go with it! Gross - Yuck Yuck to the max!!!! All that furniture combined pretty much took up 320 sq. feet - literally [I will post pictures someday] and above our bed hung this super ugly glass spaceship wannabe modern looking light fixture that I had to cover up somehow the instant I saw it. I found some lime green paper and just cut the same designs for each piece - taped them together and then around the perimeter of that light fixture.... and below is the picture of it! :) And what makes me even more happy I guess is I remember my mom saying to me about 6 years ago " you know how I can tell you are definitely Swedish?" "how mom?" "Because you cover everything with your designs!" :) lol now I know that is true for other countries as well but it made me proud that even though im second generation born I still got a little Swedish in me :) But so back to this light fixture on bsweden.com I thought last night ---- two great minds do think alike!!! :) When I went to go click on her picture I was wondering if she and I would even look similar [ that thought was kinda planted by Conan Obrian's latest stunt that he is doing with promoting the current female president of Finland who is up for re-election <-----okay maybe none of that just made sense there and that is what happens when Roxana Asami goes beyond the 4 sentence limit!! :)
