Globe Pendants

Do you know how hard it is to find unique lighting these days?  You typically have either traditional chandeliers, drum pendants, or small glass cafe pendants.  Now these all come in a plethora of different styles and colors, but sometimes you just need a little unexpected funk.  That's why I was so excited when I came across these little beauties the other day while doing some research for a client's home.  It's like a glass covered light bulb went on over my head!  Take a look at these glass globe pendants:

Isn't the above effect just magical?  I think it's the perfect touch of whimsy to the polished and serene scene below.  Just lovely.

 Such a great idea to cluster several globes together for a funky faux chandelier!

 These globes are beautiful in a group or by themselves.  Gotta love that.

 Another option is to use chandelier versions of the pendants.  It's an easy way to add the impact of multiples with only one installation.
