Top picks on West Elm's On Sale lighting

Industrial Pendant - Glass $79 from $99

Lamps are one of those house-hold items I didn't get into until just recently or more specifically, until I became old enough to appreciate beautiful lighting, realizing that these accessories however normal and everyday they may be can certainly do a lot to lend character to a room if chosen with some thought.  Like with all other material goods in life lighting can be pretty expensive, hence I bring to you today Top Picks on West Elm's collection of lighting that are ON SALE.

Starting with my favorite (pictured at top) the Industrial Pendant (in glass), where I can easily picture in dining room or kitchen for a clean look that would go most charmingly with a rustic inspired decor.   Be a little daring and try the Industrial Pendant in multiples with layered lengths to create more of a mood.  10.5" in diameter and 11"h. 

I always like to use warm, large shaded, crystal bodied lamps for office decor but even so always have trouble NOT looking through task table lamps such as West Elm's Industrial Task Table Lamp (picture below).  I've always been intrigued by the looks and usability of the task table lamps but have never really found one that looked  just right, however West Elm's Industrial Task Table Lamp comes pretty close with it's multiple choice of colors, high sheen and joint detailing.  7" in diameter and 33" h.

Industrial Task Table Lamp $55 from $69

Mia Table Lamp $103 from $129

I saw the Mia Table Lamp (pictured above) in person and immediately stopped in my tracks.  I have to admit that the Mia Table Lamp is much more catching in person as the picture does not give the full detail and texture of the lamp as it really is, the body has the appearance of crackled pieces glazed together, a very subtle yet beautiful and eye-catching detail which cannot be seen in pictures.  The red glazed ceramic body is especially beautiful with the texture of the linen shade, and the clean modern lines created by the round shade and the symmetrically angled body lends a modern style to what could be otherwise have been a rustic vintage piece.  The Mia Table Lamp would be a beautiful accompaniment to any room that needs a pop of color or has red accents.  14.5" in diameter and 9.8" h.

My second favorite out of the On Sale selections of lighting at West Elm is the turning Pendant Lamp in wood and white (pictured below).  The potential that this lamp has to turn a room into something spectacular is what sells me.  Two of these Turning Pendant lamps on each side of a large bed in a minimal styled bedroom would be breath-taking, the wood detailing would give off a rustic vibe to an otherwise rather modern looking bedroom, I am especially taken with twists, turns and intrigues when it comes to decorating, hence my love for this Turning Pendant which is modern and minimal yet warm and rustic.  19" in diameter and 20"h.

Turning Pendant - Wood/White $119 from $149

On Sale at A+R: Andrea Living Air Filter

Mathieu Lehanneur + David Edwards & LE Laboratoire Paris'
Andrea Living Air Filter $100.00 @ A+R

Yes, so you could probably just buy a whole bunch of house of plants, and actually, that may be the easier way to go but... the Andrea Living Air Filter is currently on sale at A+R, and whether it's a gift or simply for yourself this device is worth having, simply even for the originality of this cool home machination.

*Description, at read on A+R

Transform any house plant into a super toxic avenger! Andrea is the first living air filter that uses plants to absorb toxic gases via low-power consumption, ozone-free operation. Independent third party testing by RTP Labs certified Andrea is 40 times more efficient than standard carbon and HEPA filters (aka High Efficiency Particulate Air) in removing volatile toxins such as formaldehyde (a known human carcinogen used in floor coverings) and benzene and ammonia (found in many home-use cleaning solutions). RTP found that interior plants alone are more efficient than HEPA and carbon filters at removing toxic gases from air--but significantly less efficient than Andrea, which it determined is over 1000% FASTER THAN PLANTS ALONE. A plant’s natural metabolic activity eliminates pollution, boosted by Andrea's whisper-quiet fan that propels it through the leaves and root system, out through the water and soil filtration and back into the room environment. Andrea can be turned on and off through the day. No replaceable filters needed.

• Dimensions 14.5"w x 14.5"d x 20.5"h
• Biochemically transforms waste
• Ozone-free operation
• Low power consumption
• No replaceable filters needed
• Plants are not included but any household plant will do but those will best filtering abilities are philodendron gerbera, spathiphyllum, chlorophytum and pathos.
