Entry light for a steal!

All Posts, Entry

I just installed this light that I ordered from Amazon.  There were 1000 pieces  that I put together, installed and turned on…only to discover that one of the sockets doesn’t work.  I tested all the bulbs and it’s definitely the socket.  Gah!  So I scheduled a return of this light and set to work looking for a new light for the entry.

Entry light options

The one above that I installed was $200.  The Pottery Barn Hundi light was in our “maybe selection” but we selected this particular one because we (Wes and I) liked it slightly more than the PB one and it was a little bit less $ so that was a plus too.

Now that the one I bought doesn’t work properly I went back to the PB one but it was going to cost me $50 more than the $229 price tag for tax and shipping.

Pottery Barn Hundi semi-flush light.

Entry light options

So I scoured the internet in search of something that I might like more or where I might save a little cash.  This one from Overstock.com is $125.99.  Uhm…hello!  it’s basically the same size and looks almost exactly the same.  It has black candle covers which I actually like better anyway.  Plus, I don’t know why but in my shopping cart on Overstock I got an extra $30 off for a “promotion”.  Cool beans!  OF course I wanted to share since it’s such an insane deal on a total PB lookalike.

And yes, this is totally an affiliate link! Overstock.com is $125.99   😀

    Very cool on the savings. I do like the PB and OS one better than your first. Word–as we have the PB one–get ready for odd chain designs on the ceiling when you turn on the light. Sorry, better that I warn you now? I had to get over it as I had looked forever for a light that didn’t hang too low in our entryway. It looks really nice with our new black door knobs and hinges and our board and batten treatment and finally the very light tan painted above the B&B.

    Love Overstock. I troll that site waaaaay too much. Just saw some ottomans there that were $10 less (and I needed 3) than J&M, Wayfair, and Amazon!

    Love Overstock too.. on my last house remake I got all the sinks from them and all were less (even with shipping) than I could have gotten from the big box stores and they would have had to be special ordered. In the house I have now I just got beautiful area rugs, again at a steal!!!
