These are precast concrete columns, and I believe that it was Herpel Cast Stone and Columns out of West Palm Beach provided these.

If you wanted to do something similar indoors, you could use wooden Corinthian column capitals. These are hand carved for Wild Goose Carvings and they are available in different sizes. See them at www.buycarvings.com

@snydewar we designed the floor plan, but the finishing details, such as the lighting, were most likely chosen by the builder, Goehring & Morgan Construction, of Orlando, Fl. I did find a couple of similar lights on lampsplus.com. I hope that helps!
