Looking for Lighting
>> 12.07.2011
Due to some notourstyle/ oversized light fixtures in the majority of the house, we're been on the lookout for some new fixtures. I actually like the dining room chandelier in the new house, but want to
center it in the room which would be next to impossible due to its
massive size:

Since I'm now officially on the hunt for new lighting, I was happily surprised when I wondered into the Lowe's lighting section last week and noticed a few options that were not only pretty affordable, but actually attractive (unlike most of the fixtures that I've seen in the past):
This bathroom fixture could end up saving me a trip to the Restoration Hardware Outlet (where I usually get nice fixtures for cheap). I'm obsessed with how expensive it looks compared to the price!
This one could be a good alternative to the super low hanging fixture in my living room (or kitchen or hallway) and isn't bad at <$100 (better than most overstock.com options).
This one reminded me of the West Elm Globe Pendant, but a little more rustic (and slightly more expensive).
We should be replacing some of the fixtures sooner rather than later so stay tuned to see where we end up! Where do you like to look for thrifty lighting?

I know what you saying about Lowes, there lighting has improved a ton in the past year!! I like the bathroom light fixture you took a picture of, nice!
For cheap / great lighting I look on Amazon and CB2 and Lowes
My friend has had great luck at Lowes. I try to check out the Habitat Restore. They seem to have good lighting options. You just need to go all the time. Have fun!
I really like that bathroom light from Lowe's, I might have to check that out!
Wow, these lighting examples are great! I had no idea they had such good stuff there....
Ebay! I bought vintage light fixtures from various sellers, unrestored, and had them rewired by a reasonable and reliable guy I found online in New Jersey.
