  1. Wow.. i totally love the teacups concept. I saw from the restaurant here in our country a light bulb that is so large!

  2. I am more into traditional house decor, but among these, the one I liked the best would be that yarn around the balloon lamp. I do not know if I want to do it myself though. Hehe.

  3. OMG! Are you kidding me? This is awesome. Just beautiful. I had no idea we could make our own holders! Amazing!

  4. Wow, these are amazing! So many to choose from, I can not pick a favorite. The one from the pop bottles is pretty cool and huge! A true work of art!
