Breath the Bank vs. Cheapskate {Metal Pendant Lighting}

I am really loving all the industrial/nautical inspired home decor right now.  There are many ways to incorporate the look without making the room look trendy.  These lights would make a great addition to any room!

Cheapskate:

I actually prefer the galvanized look of the second one better but the first one is gorgeous for a more subtle look! Which one do you prefer?

Break the Bank vs. Cheapskate {Glass Lantern Pendant}

I promise I will be posting about other things besides Break the Bank vs. Cheapskate finds, but I have been finding some great items and just have to share!  I have received several emails from readers that purchased the Arch Mirror...I am so happy you all scored that great mirror!  I actually went back and bought one for myself and I LOVE it!

Okay...a few days ago I got an email from Sara asking me to find a cheapskate version of this:

Break the Bank:
Ballard Designs
Link: Small Eldridge Pendant
$149

Honestly, I feel like $149 is a fair price, but that doesn't mean I didn't shop around to see what else I could find.  Sara needed 3 of them to hang over her large kitchen island, so I can understand why she wanted to see what I could find....and I found something pretty great!

Cheapskate:
World Market
Link: Glass Pendant Lantern
$99.99

Pretty great find, isn't it....and the $50 savings doesn't hurt!
