When Sara asked me to write about interior decorating, I knew she had asked the wrong person. But by then it was too late! [evil laugh]

I have little patience for design. My Hong Kong apartment - though spacious and ridiculously expensive - looks like a guys' college dorm. It's mostly bare, furnished with the classiest (almost matching) pieces I could find in Ikea.

Why? I'm lazy. When I shop, I buy things that either:

1. Can be sat on

2. Will never need cleaning/dusting

3. Are so awesome that I'm willing to pay someone else to clean/dust

There is not a single extraneous item in my apartment - no frames, no candles, no vases, no plates, no kitchen table - because, to me, they're just a hassle.

However, I do have one weakness: chandeliers. Sometimes I daydream about sitting in my bare Ikea apartment, staring at a giant, gaudy, crystal thing hanging from the ceiling.

I want one in the bedroom...

One in the kitchen...

the homebound

One in the entryway...

One in my fabulous outdoor dining room...

And one in my bathroom...

As for the real world, I have a couple on my wish list. Here are a few of my faves:

1. Eat, Drink, and be Merry chandelier, $4800 at Anthropologie

2. Birdcage chandelier, $135 at My Finch

3. Bubble chandelier, $300 at Jean Pelle's shop

4. Milk glass chandelier, $875 at Neiman Marcus

I'll make sure to let you all know if/when I buy one - it will certainly be the focus of many a photo session.

Thanks so much for having me, Sara! It was great fun playing Jonathan Adler for a day.
