At least once every weekend I fall down a bottomless Etsy rabbit hole, only to awaken to the huz asking me what I want for dinner. Huh? It’s 6:00 already?! Meanwhile, I could’ve sworn I just ate lunch half an hour ago.

This week’s deep dive was on light fixtures. Partly because I’m trying to find the best chandelier for my parents’ dining room and partly because I’m looking for one for my home office. Light fixtures provide the perfect opportunity to go bold in your home, and I found some real statement makers. So I figured, why not share these gems with you?

Here’s my round-up of gorgeous handmade pendants and chandeliers, quite a few of which are under $500. Others are more of a splurge, but in my opinion, they’re totally worth it.

If you like any of these fixtures, be sure to check out the rest of what’s available in that particular shop. That’s how I typically find my favorites. Also, keep in mind that many of these fixtures can be customized with alternate measurements and in some cases alternate colors. That’s the beauty of Etsy. Most vendors are very accommodating with special requests. I’m telling you, there’s no better place to shop.

That’s all for this week! If you find a fixture that really speaks to you, add it to your cart and purchase. You’ll marvel at the dramatic difference it makes in your space. Trust me, it will get you one step closer to a home you love.

Wishing you a beautiful week ahead.
