I'm looking for some new kitchen fixtures in oil rubbed bronze. I like these PB pendants, PB oil-rubbed pendant but would love to spend less than $100 on each. With the pole kit it is $139. Also need a matching "hugger" light. I have 9 foot ceilings, so it could hang a bit. Also looking for a fixture over kitchen table and am considering this HM chandelier, but don't love it.
I've googled and googled, but can't find much. Any sites that could help me in my quest???
Well crap - I just noticed the HD chandelier is out of stock. |

I like CB2 and Wayfair for pendant lighting.

We recently remodeled our entire home, and I was also surprised at the cost of lighting. We searched the same sites you're looking at, and we ended up finding comparable styles for a lot less at Menards and Lowes. Another place we were surprised about was a specialized lighting store in our town. We assumed they would be so much MORE expensive than the big box stores, but because they have endless amounts of catalogs to choose from, we were able to tell them our price range, and they found a manufacturer they could order our pendant lights from for way less than the ones we liked in Pottery Barn. Good luck!

Thanks - The first one won't work, as it is for a can lighting conversion. It's a great idea, but we have to hardwire them. DD has the ikea light and I just can't copy. lol
A hugger light is a light that "hugs the ceiling" - no poles or chains.  |

I think I will head into our local lighting store and see what they have. I hate ordering from books, but I did order all of our original lighting 11 years ago from a book. Thanks!

oops, I didn't see that was a conversion, just focused on the shade and price. I've never heard "hugger lights" either, I know them as flush-mounted lights.  |

Ha - yes, that is the correct term. I've always called them huggers.

Pottery Barn has a 20% off entire purchase coupon out that expires tonight.
I'd send you my code but it's one time use and I used it last night. Maybe there is someone here who has one they're not using.
