The price range for lighting spans from low to VERY high! Of course the higher priced fixtures usually catch my eye!
In my search, I did find a few fixtures that are reasonably priced and are very similar to some of the higher end products. I decided to go ahead and order these cost-effective fixtures with fingers crossed.
Here are my three favorites:
1. Foyer and Banquette Lighting
One of my favorite lanterns is the Hundi lantern from Pottery Barn. It retails for $299 plus tax & S&H.
Here is the lantern that I ordered from Overstock.com:
It retails for $154 right now.
Here is a bad iPhone photo of the one hanging in our foyer...
I love these lanterns for the price! The size is substantial, and the quality is good.
2. Dining Room Lighting
For our dining room, I searched for an antique Parisian reproduction-type fixture without the high price tag. Some of these fixtures retail in the thousands. Below is one fixture that I really like from Shades of Light, but it is still $739.
The fixture that I ordered is from Bellacor. It retails for $298, and it is spectacular!
Here is the photo from Bellacor's website:
And this is my poor quality iPhone photo:
But again, I love this fixture!!!
3. Master Bedroom Lighting
The last fixture find that I'd like to share is a beautiful chandelier that I purchased for our master bedroom. After drooling over the Clarissa Glass Drop Chandelier from Pottery Barn, which retails for $399, I decided to go for this look. Here is the PB fixture:
I found a very similar fixture on Overstock.com for $185.
Here is the photo of the chandelier in our room.
This fixture is absolutely gorgeous, and it is my favorite of the lighting finds!

Aww love every one! Lighting is so important giving each room a little piece of jewelry!

Great finds! I also love Overstock.com. In fact, I just ordered some fabulous bamboo blinds from there! They were reasonably priced and the shipping was extremely cheap too!
I love following your new house adventures- going thru something similar myself!
Quick question- I have been following your blog forever and have seen your multiple beach trips- do you have a preference? I can't remember if you guys have a place at the beach or just rent. I am hoping to do one more beach trip next week before the kids go back to school. We are in Chapel Hill so I have been looking at Kure, Holden, Ocean Isle, Wrightsville, etc. We have friends with a place in Holden that we have been to a couple times- hoping to try some place new. Would love ideas!! Went to Corolla last month, but want to do something closer.
If you get a chance can you shoot me an email?
I agree with you, Carolina. The last lighting fixture is indeed something to smile about. :) It looks really classy! Obviously, lighting fixtures are an essential in every building and home. However, its most important role is to make people appreciate an object or a room even more.
