I’ve been hunting for a chandelier to go over my new dining room table for a few months now. I've scoured thrift stores, flea markets, craigslist and ebay but nothing affordable or amazing enough to warrant purchase has popped up. While I was on the hunt I did, however, fall in love with the incredibly expensive work of Lindsey Adelman Studio. Her Bubble series, with its stunning hand-blown glass globes and custom metal fittings, has both a contemporary and vintage vibe. It's exactly what I'm looking for, minus the huge price tag. Fortunately, the lovely designer has posted a DIY version of her chandelier on her website. The instructions include a detailed parts list with sources. Isn't that just about the nicest thing you've every heard? I looked up all the parts and I think the total cost for the project will come in around $120...not too bad! I consider myself quite handy so I'm going to take a stab at creating my own chandelier this weekend. Does anyone have any pointers? I figure if I completely screw up I can drive out to my parent's house in the suburbs and have my dad finish it. Wish me luck!
Everything about the kitchen pictured above - the chandelier, backsplash, table and chairs - is perfection.
Despite the chandelier's contemporary design, it works well with the traditional millwork in the foyer pictured below. 
Lindsey's Knotty Bubble series, pictured below, is inspired by Japanese maritime culture and packing. Wouldn't it look great in a beach house?
