Happy Wednesday!  I had planned on doing my Break the Bank vs. Cheapskate posts on Sundays, but this one just couldn't wait...it is that good!  Let's get to it....

Break the Bank vs. Cheapskate: {Crystal Drop Chandeliers}

A Saturday post?  I know, crazy...but I am trying to be a better blogger and have something fun to share with you today! 

Now let's talk about these chandeliers!  I have #4 in our guest room and love it!  The price cannot be beat.  Also, the fact that these" cheapskates" have more expensive cousins from Pottery Barn and look nearly identical is a great thing!  Sources for the "cheapskate" versions are linked below.

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!

I LOVE this light....trying to figure out where I could put this in my home and I bet the husband would be thrilled I saved over $1000! ;)  Do you always justify your purchases by bragging about how much you saved or I am the only one?

Break and Bank vs. Cheapskate {Rustic Iron Chandelier}

Happy Monday!  Hope your weekend was a great one!

While I was out and about yesterday, I stopped into Restoration Hardware.  Their store is always styled to perfection from the subtle lightning to the outdoor patio area.  I wonder if they would let me live in their store?

I love their lighting, they have some gorgeous option, but the prices are a little high for this girl.  So like I do with everything, I started searching for some look-a-like options for less!  Check out my find!

Break the Bank:
Restoration Hardware Camino Chandelier Extra Small
$695

 



Cheapskate:
Overstock.com Old World 9 Light Chandelier
$189

While it is not an exact match, it creates the same look for a lot less!
Hope everyone has a great week!!

Pretty Things {Wood Bead Chandelier}

One of the most talked about items in my home is my dining room chandelier.  Unfortunately, it has been discontinued, but I have seen it pop up on One Kings Lane a time or two!  I knew when I started to select lighting that I wanted a wood bead chandelier.  Here is what we ended up with.....

 

Since the one I have is no longer available, I did some research and found some similar options!  I actually really love all of these....while they are all a little different, they give the same overall feel!
