The Light Bulb Went Off

As I've said before, I'm always on a budget.  A while back I spotted a light fixture on the Pottery Barn website, but I knew it was more than I wanted to spend.  So I waited. And I waited.  And I waited.  Then one day I got that email I'd been waiting for-- cue the Hallelujuh chorus --lighting was onsale at Pottery Barn.  Before I knew it, the fixture (at about 20% off) was in my "cart" and on the way to our house.  Fortunately, my husband can hang lighting, which saves us a lot of money.  I love my light fixture!

Recently I was browsing Overstock.com looking for a new fixture for our master bedroom, when the light bulb went off.  Many of the same/similar fixtures from Pottery Barn can be found on Overstock.com at much better prices.  About the only thing I love better than Pottery Barn is a great price.
