It's no secret that I adore most everything, OK everything, that has the Eames label attached to it. Unfortunately, I can't afford one bit of it . .

I love the dangling, octopus-arms look of Pottery Barn's Edison Chandelier ($400). Crafted of iron with bronze-finished cord brackets, the chandelier was inspired by the beauty of industrial fixtures and the 20th-century architectural designs of Adolf Loos. It's actually not that badly priced, but luckily, you can find something very similar for even less money.

If you found something to love in my Get the Look: Tailored Gypsy post earlier today, you may well be on the search for some suzani textiles already.

If you're into dark glamour, run, don't walk to the Luna Chandelier ($1200). With gothically elegant charm, this chandelier balances its dark exterior shade with a cluster of clear crystals. However, even if you absolutely adore this piece, your pace might be slowed down a bit thanks to the chandelier's tragic price tag.

While the Cellula Chandelier ($2,210) may be on sale for nearly $400 off the original price, over $2K is more than most of us are willing to spend on a light fixture. Still, since the Cellula chandelier is studded with Swarovski crystal pendants, it's a definite head-turner. It's a great upgrade on the traditional chandelier, and is sleek enough to fit the most cutting-edge home.

Shrewd online shopper and Su Casa member The City Girl recently discovered some very interesting similarities between some high-end Neiman Marcus products and some low-end Target products.
She writes, "I think that almost every company could have something in its collection to offer — if not in actual product, then perhaps with inspiration. It's just that various designers usually offer quite different, distinct looks — especially companies such as, say, Target or Neiman Marcus.

The Looolo Fly Cushion is super chic, and I love that it's made of organic Melton wool with no nonbioegradable closures. But still, at $140 to $180 per cushion, these are some spendy pillows! If you don't have the cash to burn on the Looolo, I've found some pennypinching pillows that are near matches.

I'm absolutely in love with the shape of the Dessouschic Console Table ($11,334) by Noé Duchaufour Lawrence, and you also know how much I love white furniture. But unfortunately it is hilariously out of my price range. Lucky for me, there's a much, much, much more affordable alternative.

The Eames Molded Plastic Rocker ($479) is a design classic. Originally produced in 1948, it's known as the RAR (rocking armchair rod) and was out of production for 30 years until Design Within Reach, with the Eames Office's blessing, started reproducing the design. The molded shell's deep seat is perfect for rocking a baby or relaxing on a front porch, and it's built from environmentally friendly molded polypropylene.
However, if you're comfortable rocking out on an unofficial reproduction, there's a much cheaper option available to you.
