Grabbing Light!

Thinking of adding some new lighting this year, you just might want to consider one of the fabulous octopus chandeliers made by Adam Wallacavage! Born of necessity he stumbled upon this unique lighting method by not finding any lighting he wanted for his home, so he came up with this fantastical alternative and has had stunning results.
Be daring get octopus lighting!
