When I was growing up, my parents had a gold chandelier in our dining room that I always thought was a little much for our casual suburban lifestyle. But since we never really ate in the dining room, with most meals spent around a well-loved round oak table in the kitchen, the chandelier added a little glamour to the special occasions we spent under it. I have no idea where that chandelier ended up, but after discovering KaarsKoker, a newly launched line of decorative replacement candle sleeves for light fixtures, I wish I had it to hang in my house. These candle sleeves are so gorgeous that they could make even the dullest chandelier shine.

A lover of exotic and tropical houseplants, Longtin has parlayed this passion into Envy, his month-old plant and patio store in the Central District.
