These are cast in plain round glass spheres and then carved into these shapes. I bust the glass off the second day and use an old paring knife to carve designs into them like spirals or crossbars (I use different widths of tape to get the lines right). Plain round ones are also nice mixed in with carved ones. I like to have a grouping in a variety of sizes and shapes. If you can find big globes they can be used to cast planters. I fill them with sand before busting the glass off to give them extra reinforcement. Then it is just a matter of carving out the excess on the inside with a spoon (it's always too thick at the bottom as the tufa slumps, and the rim always looks better if it is evenly thick all around) and carving off a clean rim edge.

The changes can't be specified until you know what is in the switch box. If you are lucky, there is an incoming cable with hot and neutral, and three outgoing cables, each with a hot and neutral. In this case all you have to do is identify the black wire associated with the interior entry light and splice it to the black wire going to the other interior lights. If all of these fixtures are on the same breaker, then there is no need to move any neutral wires. (Neutrals are white, but not all whites are neutral.) If you are not lucky, there may be only two outgoing cables, and the one you are interested in is routed to both the interior entry light and the outside light. That would mean your desired change would require pulling a new cable in the wall. It is also possible that these are on switch loops, meaning the hot goes through the fixtures so there would be only two cables in the switch box. In this case there may be a black and a white on each switch. Such a white should by present good practice be marked black, but older wiring or people who haven't caught up with the practice might not mark them. There are other possible combinations as well. Take a look and then finish planning.

I don't have any further advice but I wanted to salute a fellow "a bit over the top" decorator - although I had the backup of a designer to help me feel comfortable about some of my design choices since I wasn't going with beige or gray :-). I have a blush chaise lounge in the bedroom for starters :-). I have a medallion with a Neo Gothic vintage chandelier hung from it. It's not centered over the bed or even centered over the room but it is what it is because my ceilings are cement and there is no ability to move it. I also had to swag the vintage chandelier over my dining room table for the same reason because obviously I wanted it to be centered over the table - so swag it. I have to say I ALMOST put a sock on the chain until I saw how ridiculous it looked and had the electrician take down the chandelier and remove the "sock". It reminded me of putting panties on a dog or when the Victorians spoke of white meat rather than chicken breast and didn't speak of piano legs LOL. The HORROR of a chain. Why in the world do designers/decorators feel a sock is preferably aesthetically to a nice honest chain. Obviously not all chandeliers are meant to be swagged but this chandelier hangs from a chain anyway and has chain ornamentation as well. I have some Capiz shades that I had been using for my sconces but sadly they are a tad too short - love your Capiz chandelier by the way. So I am waiting for delivery of some mica shades - I found a guy on the internet who does custom mica shades and lamps. Anyway I love your wallpaper combined with the blush accent linens.

Not sure, but if it's from Amber Interiors get ready to open up your pocket book. Those fixtures look hand blown. You may be able to find a hand-blown fixture from Etsy.com, similar and for a quarter of the price. I've found some amazing pieces from there.
