Tell Me Tuesday...Bam or Slam!


Source

BAM... BRASS IS BACK!!

It was unanimous, 24 of you voted BAM and only 2 SLAM.

(That is, as long as it is not the cheap 80's brass, that will always be a SLAM in my book!)

This week's BAM or SLAM...

Feather Pendant Lighting, are they ethereal or overboard?

    I've been thinking about these a lot lately, after seeing that fantastic DIY (no 3). I quite like the way they look, but I would need to take it down every few months and shake the dust out, outside....might not be the most practical!

    I think they're pretty, but like the above post, I would be obsessing about the dust situation.

    I love brass against the white of a bathroom it looks so much more chic & classy dont you think? white & gold in a bathroom is my favourite. Love those feather pendants too

    I would say they are a Bam for a whimsical look.

    Practical--probably a slam, but I have to go with a BAM. I am with jandjhome---I love how whimsical they look. Love.

    That's a slam for me. But I have been known to change my mind on occasion!

    Slam - not only would it collect dust like it was it's full time job, it kinda looks like my swiffer duster!!!

    Slam. Just not a fan. Might have to deal with my bird phobia...

    BAM! Love em! I think if you want to create a bit of drama without being too crazy then this is the way to go. (Gotta agree with a comment above, I bet that get really dusty though)!

    Not a fan - slam. But, I agree that it does add whimsy!!

    Hmm...I'm going to have to go with slam this week. :( They just look off to me.

    My vote is a slam on this one.

    Personally I'm going to go with a slam may not be the easiest to clean but I can see them looking elegant and delicate in a sophisticated space or even a little girls room. And definitely a fun DIY if its your BAM!

    Maybe in a young girls room until she developed allergies...I must say SLAM

    SLAM... oh my goodness I don't like that one teeny tiny bit (maybe because I'm scared of birds...)

  18. Carol@TheDesignPagesJune 7, 2011 at 12:01 PM

    I love the one in the bedroom but they can definitely go over the top. Can I say SLAM-BAM depending upon its presentation?

    I'm going with slam. I didn't even think about the dust issue! I just know that I'd be irrationally envisioning the whole thing to burst into flames from the light bulb heat. There is also something kind of muppety about it. I almost expect a bird from Jim Henson's menagerie to poke it's head out from under a wing and fix me with a menacing glare. All ridiculous of course - but I don't like it enough to get over the flammability factor (imagined or not).

    I'd say slam. How on earth would you clean them?

    I may be in the minority; I like the feather chandeliers! I mean they'd only work in a certain type of room (like maybe an ultra fabulous size-of-a-room closet) but they're very glamorous. And I did think about the potential fire hazard, but you wouldn't have the light on in the fabulous closet that often. And, if you had an Oprah-esque closet, you probably wouldn't be doing your own dusting. I'm bamming this one and making a mental note for when I have a mega closet. ;)

    We must all be cleaners...because I immediately fell in love and immediately thought of the dust. But I think they look AH-MAZE-ING!

    I'm just laughing at all the opinions on this one...you've got a regular debate going down! Between allergies and dust and phobias, this one seems to be getting a lot of slams...but I would have to say BAM because I just love the look of feathers! They are just so light and whimsical...the look is just so FUN! I would have to say you would probably not find one in my own home because of my practical side (dust/allergies) but they really are lovely!

    I really like it because it's so whimsical and fun. So it's a BAM for me. It would look great in a little girl's bedroom or in a big girly walk-in closet!

    I love this look, its BAM BAM for me! So what if there is a little dust issue..

  28. MalloryJune 7, 2011 at 8:00 PM

    BAM for how it looks but a SLAM for the cleaning factor. It's kinda like having a large feather duster hanging over you. Maybe you could take it down every once and a while and dust your whole house a lot quicker! ;)

  29. emilyJune 7, 2011 at 8:05 PM

    Man, I'm really torn on this, but I am going with slam for my own home. They look lovely in the photos, but the dust situation would bother me.

    Definitely whimsy but I say they're a slam. They'd be a huge hassle to clean.

    This is tough! On one hand, I kinda like them because they're so unique. But on the other hand, I know I would never want one and it's just not my style. I think I'm gonna have to go with slam. But in the right space, they could totally be a bam, just not in my house :P

    Oh I say BAM, in the right space! I would take one. And the bigger the better - I love me some drama!

  33. Carmel @ Our Fifth HouseJune 8, 2011 at 8:41 PM

    I'm not crazy about this trend. I don't see it hanging around for too long, so I'm going to say slam. I do think they look great in all the photos above though - just not my thing I guess. I just love this series!

    Eeeek, those light fixtures look alive, SLAM! I love the idea of using feathers for some sort of decor, but I am not loving this!

    Thanks!
