One on Tim's recent projects was hanging these globe lights. He will have to tell you how he managed to get them exactly even on two very different surfaces (I think it was pretty hard). They are not wired yet. We'll need an electricians help with that. But they do look pretty awesome.
Tim really likes the look of globe lights. There was one hanging opposite this wall next to the fireplace that was antique looking and way to decorative for our style. We took it down and we bought one at the Long Beach Flea Market with a chain and Tim tried to redo in a more MCM style. He had to rewire the whole thing with a power strip cord and did not really love the way it turned out.
So he found a matching set on eBay and ordered them. He loved the fact that they had the steel plate and stem with a bendable hinge to hang them on slanted surfaces. They came double boxed and packed with thousands of packing peanuts. They made it safely to say the least. Tim took the first one out of the box and put the stem on it to see what they looked like. Well, the stem slipped out of his had and fell into the inside of the ball....
I thought he was going to lose it! To make a long story short the guy he bought them from just happen to have another globe laying around and said he would send it to Tim for only the cost of shipping for good karma. Tim took him up on it and has that one stowed away in our bedroom to put up once we have them wired and working.
