I haven't had a chance to test these for myself in game yet, but if they do what is described, then that is a brilliant idea. I've actually never even thought of this myself, there are plenty of guides out there that tell you how to create custom objects in game, but none that actually build the item for you. 
Best decorating idea I've ever seen, I'd give you 5 stars if I still had the rating system enabled.

Wow...thanks soooo much.
The Chandelier macro worked great for me...looks wonderful and I can't being to thank you enough.
The fireplace macro didn't work as intended...as I had pieces that wouldn't move because of invalid locations...and my stuff was rotated the wrong direction (the last part might of been my fault).

Theres are amazing, but why do this much work for something that is only going to last a few days or a month???? You would think you would get tired of doing this monthly

You realize I'm still going to always ask you to do any chandelier in a home I decorate right? I don't care if you use a macro or not yours is the best in my opinion and I just don't feel right bogarting it. Of course I'm not sure what I'll do when you move on but until then...

okay, this is going to sound dumb I guess, but here goes.
I recently was trying to move furniture around my house and I was getting tips from guildmates until I ran into a problem. It would seem that the commandto move furniture is now /moveFurniture <forward/back/up/down> <distance>. Any attempt to "move up" was corrected to use the proper format of /moveFurniture. The problem, however, is that forward and back work just fine, but "up" gives me an invalid format. I had a guildmate come to my house, she's an architect and very experienced at decorating, who couldn't get the command to work either. She told me to report it as a bug. Has anyone else had this issue? I was trying to move an art piece, but I don't think it would matter. Also, the art piece was given to me a loooong time ago either by the jedi holocron or an NPC. Now that I'm thinking of it, it's possible that the problem may have been the item I was trying to move. But i would think that if I can move it forward and back that I should also be able to move up... Also, I CAN move the item up using the radial command "move up". Any ideas??? I have already submitted a bug report, but you know how long that could take... <grin>

Zanther, I think I may have encountered that bug before. Only certain houses seem to be affected by it and sometimes a house that never had a problem will suddenly refuse to let you move items in a certain direction, or a house that always had that problem will suddenly work normally. A work around that mighthelp in your situation is to try /move up up <number>. For some reason repeating the up will satisfy the bug in some cases.
Kurrin, I want you to use these. You more than anyone deserve to inherit these macros since you were the only one who went so far as to write one of your own and share it with me. I really appreciate that you took an interest and I'm honored to be counted with you as the one of the best decorators of bloodfin.
Thekrazyone, I'm glad you tried these out, makes me happy to hear someone is actually trying it even if the fireplace didn't work right that time. Maybe my setup instructions were unclear... I don't actually set it up that way I kinda take a shortcut and just drop one of the items on the wall... then move it out the 415 and over the 110 and then drop an identical item on it. if I can drop it and get them to line up then i'll drop the whole pile there. The chair position is really really important too in this macro. Maybe I need to take some better screenies of the stages of the setup so people don't have to follow my verbose explanations. It could be that the pauses are too short for where you are too. On bloodfin dantooine is always so laggy that any time I used a macro on dant I had to change all the pauses to 3 seconds or I got error messages.
Everyone, thanks so much for the kind comments. Please post if you have a chance to try these out, whether it was using mine or making your own.
