lol ...let me know if they write you back.
Oh that's a beauty. Fingers crossed for a sale.
I have this light in my breakfast room!
I got trigger happy and pressed submit too soon. I meant to add that it is beautiful in person and the quality is really gorgeous. All of Visual Comfort's/Circa Lighting's fixtures are really, really nice for the money. My husband works for VC and I know that Circa never really has any sales. Maybe you could get a designer friend to use their trade discount?
I'd go for it.
The price is more annoying than deal-breakingly bad. I've passed up too many items priced in that zone, and I regret it, usually.
Just buy it, if you love it so much you daydream about it.
At least you have Circa Lighting. Some of their range have been imported here (Australia) and sold through an 'exclusive' retail outfit. Average price for most fittings?.... $3000 AUD. :( A-M xx
hey, guess what? circa offers a 20%discount to the trade...let me know if i can help you out!
but then you'll have to post more photos of your kitchen remodel, so...i guess nothing is really free :-)
xx, kelie
Paloma's right...their fixtures are terrific. Have used them to great effect. And it looks like you've got that 20% off... They're a great company to deal with. Worth it, as anon states...just make the daydream come true.
amen sister! have you seen the similar lights ON SALE over at horne? they're by michelle de luccha and they're around 500... still way the hee haw over my budget but what the heck.
xo katherine aka. urban flea :)

$700? for that? why?
does it come with a hot naked man who will make me coffee and breakfast in the morning?
smh. do they install?
Can you get trade discount or know someone who can? $700 is a bit much but it is FAB and would look so great with the morning sun glinting off it sending sparkles around the room .... er, better stop or I'll be giving cocktail recipes next. Imagine it is your very own disco ball in the kitchen. Pay the price, if you must, and when its hung break open a bottle of champagne and toast yourself.
That is not a $700 lamp. In my opinion, of course..
hello... you may submit this blog to my webBlog Directory, keyworddir.info.. have a nice day!
Keyword Directory
Gorgeous light, but you're right...not-so-gorgeous price! This is one of my favorite catalogs. Maybe you can find something similar here. They too can be pricey, but not quite as bad. Best wishes!
Hey Decorno - for all the joy you bring me, I'd be more than happy to let you use my designer discount. Just keep the witty blog posts ah-coming and its all yours.
Melissa
and... if you decide to look for similar (but less expensive) alternatives, I just recently found these for a client as options for her kitchen:

http://www.restorationhardware.com/rh/catalog/product/product.jsp?productId=prod1031007&navAction=jump&link=link=ci_harmon_pendant&cm_re=CI-_-CategoryImage-_-HarmonPendant (also see their benson & maritime pendants)
http://stores.rianrae.com/Detail.bok?no=415 (pretty different style, but still pretty darn cool)
http://stores.rianrae.com/Detail.bok?no=403 (yep, pretty different too)
Circa is having a sale right now...also check out www.shadesoflight.com. The Mercury glass pendant #PE07015 129.00
great taste! stick with quality, you are past pottery barn/ballard design mentality. i carry this line in my shop. the price reflects the quality.
i so love your blogs can get it for you at my cost!
20 percent off = $560? Christ, just do it already.
i'm pretty sure circa's trade discount is only 10% - not 20%. if this is not the case, i was screwed.
I found this pendant at Croft and Little:

Similar and almost half the price!
