Hey Dani,

Good question! We just run a feather duster over it every once in a while but it’s sooo low maintenance. We have to clean fans and other light fixtures a lot more often (maybe because the capiz moves softly all the time the dust can’t really settle on it very easily).

xo,

Sherry,
Is the West Elm Capiz Chandelier hard to clean? I’m thinking about getting this one (http://www.westelm.com/products/w425/) for over my rustic farmhouse dining room table – with bench like yours!

I did it! I bought the white one! Some copycat I am… I was torn, but I sent the pic of your room AND the pic of Bryn’s room to my husband and he loved the fixture. AND he thought they were photos from a catalog. :)

Oooh… I love this! I was also happy to hear it came with a long cord (although I have a hard time envisioning what that would look like) — we live in an apartment, so it’s safe to say we can’t make any electrical changes. Thanks for the heads up on such a beautiful lighting addition!

Just read about the bedroom project. I’m so ready to go tear my bedroom apart now. What a perfect solution for storage! I don’t know what people did back in 1925 when my bungalow was built but it has exactly two closets. So you can imagine how awful my situation is….oh, and I loved the comment about the cheap trading spaces project!
God I miss being able to just run to Ikea.

First, love your site!!! Second, I have this in mocha above our bed and LOVE it! It comes with a round brushed silver plate to cover up any wires and has a simple silver cord that hangs through the plate and you can adjust the level of the pendant. The quality is also great… and, World Market has these similar Capiz pendants ( I bought a white one for my Grandma because she loved mine so much) in case anyone wants to see them in person. Happy lighting :)

Hi EastEnd,

Sort of – they’re actually two large IKEA wardrobes that we perfectly fit in there. Then we added molding details to fake the built-in look. They were actually meant just to add storage, but they ended up looking pretty nice too. Glad you like the look.

It was actually a big saga to get everything right, but you can read the gist of it in these two posts:
