Having just recently moved in and out of three different places in 2 years, I have experience with working and reworking a space to make it my own. Lighting is such a key part of that process for me! It can warm up a space and instantly make it feel pulled together, and be a dramatic statement in your home to display and express your personal style. After having looked for months for the right lights, pendants, and flush mounts, I realized that lighting can be insanely expensive! I'm talking thousands and thousands of dollars.  That's why it felt even more silly to me after having seen these glamorous, clean, and statement making chandeliers for a fraction of the price. They are all substantial and stylish without making you feel foolish for spending $3,000 on a light you may want to change in 4 years. Take a look and let me know what you think! Im loving the cool factor with every single one of these!

Every single one of these lights has been on a wish list of mine for different areas of our house. They add a punch of style and a huge bang for your buck. Im a big believer in getting as close as you can to "the look" without overly committing on price because at least for me, my style evolves and changes over time. Saving that dough can also give you opportunity to spruce up another area of the house! Yay!

 These lists will ensure a bright and stylish start to any home! Let me know if you guys like these and what your favorite type of lighting is right now in the comments beolow!
