I love the colors, but it looks like a homemade project.

The room picture looks really good. I like that they didn’t get too carried away with the furnishings. Really like it and thank you for the photo.

The globes are pretty, but not liking all the chains or the base. This one would require just the right room and no room at my place would fit the bill.

The globes in various blue-green shades are nice, but I don't care for the chains.  They make me think it belongs in a dungeon or torture chamber.  Smiley Sad

My mind is on spring cleaning today and all I could think is "Who is going to get up there for me and dust the top of the wood?"

Those are old glass floaters that were used to find your crab traps.

 

You can find them in antique shops sometimes--the old ones.

 

We had a 'wall' on the deck at one of our beach houses, made of rope and these were inter-twined. 

 

Very labor intensive, a local made them, it was great for privacy, kept the sun rays down late in the day and the colors were so pretty when 'lit up'.  Our were brand new, not antiques.

I like it but worry about the cleaning the glass. I live on the beach so this is perfect here.

We have a seafood restaurant near us that has all lighting like this that they made themselves. Their lights are plain hanging nautical lights from the wood.... this is much more attractive.
