Tara Donovan

So this is not exactly "interior design", but I love this artist so much, I thought that I would share this with you. If you have the chance to see her work, its sensational! She uses ready-made objects like straws, plastic cups, and scotch tape to make beautiful organic sculptures and installations.

If you are in the San Diego area she has an exhibit at the Museum of Contemporary Art (Downtown)

Great Drum Chandeliers

I love the simplicity of these lights! They allow you to have a classic, clean, look or give you the freedom to use bolder patterns like this tile in the picture below. Try these lights with a fun drapery fabric in your dining room or over your kitchen island!

Here are some great lights from Restoration Hardware to help you create this look...
