High & Low: Butterfly Chandeliers

I’ve seen few things as stunning as the “Niagara” chandelier by Bodo Sperlein with dozens of porcelain butterflies suspended on glowing optic fibers. The trouble is the price: $45,000. Fortunately, Pottery Barn Kids has this butterfly chandelier made of sturdy paper for $79, that I wouldn’t hesitate to hang in a nook, or even over the breakfast table. It’s not a glowing Lladro masterpiece, but its definitely fluttery and fun. (Find the little guy at Pottery Barn Kids at the Galleria or at the Shoppes at Arbor Lakes; special order the  “Niagara” chandelier through Macy’s Southdate Home Store in Edina, or the Macy’s Rosedale Gallery in Roseville.)
