I first discovered the delight of a crystal chandelier artfully placed outside, in nature, while on a trip to Bali. It was at an outdoor restaurant with tables under several huge trees. Each had a chandelier or two hanging from the branches, adrift and glowing in the balmy night like fairytale fireflies. Soon that inspiration would find a home in our backyard maple tree. The sparkling chandelier sways in the afternoon breeze, its six hands aloft like Shiva dancing in a Balinese puppet show.

*Tip: Re-wire a conventional store-bought, dining room style chandelier in low voltage for outdoor conditions to create this exotic ambience.
