In the comments on my recent Show Me Your Casa post, AJH asked, "Where can I find that incredible pink hanging pendant?" It's a good question! I've been in love with the light fixture ever since I first saw it as well.

Fresh off of my burlap bonanza roundup, which featured this Jayson Home & Garden Caravan Chandelier ($1,295), made of an iron frame covered with a burlap potato sack, I spotted a much more affordable version of the light fixture. It's certainly handsome and lends a rustic industrial aesthetic, but I wouldn't pay a penny over a grand for it — if that. Want to see where you can buy the exact same chandelier for less?

I wouldn't say that the witch-centric drama series Eastwick is on the top of my faves list of this year's Fall TV lineup, but I will give the show set designers props for boldly mixing three very different (and busy) light fixtures in this kitchen. Each of the chandeliers in this photo would be a show-stopper on its own, but combined they create a space that's more about being an eclectic than a specific theme, such as Moroccan or midcentury. Wondering where you can pick up any of these three light fixtures?

Designed in 1968 by Italian architect and designer Roberto Menghi, the Globo di Luce Pendant ($813-$1,170) is as captivating as it was 40 years ago. Blown glass defines the globe's shape, a transparent cable gives it the appearance of floating mid air, and its copper finish gives off a rich, warm light. It's practically solar.

New York-based designer Justin Guinta created this one-of-a-kind Construction Light Chandelier ($480) by assembling bursts of crystals onto a yellow plastic construction lamp. I like the concept — industrial design meets fancy schmancy — but I don't think it was executed very well. What do you think?

Sometimes a lamp is just a lamp. Other times, it's a takeout box or a bottle of wine parading as a light. In the latter case, it's cheeky and fun, but a little bit of a gimmick.

I spotted this photo in the portfolio of Swedish interior stylist Jakob Solgren and couldn't help but think the central copper pendant light looked quite familiar. It makes a very bold, masculine statement in the nearly all-white, very Scandinavian room, so it was hard to ignore. But where had I seen it before?

Stop laughing. You think this is funny? You know I can't glance at this Megan Auman Vertical Leaf Pendant Light ($240) for one second without pulling out my credit card.

Despite its looks, David Graas's Not a Box (inquire for price) is not a box but a lamp. The design transforms its own packaging into the lamp itself; after you open the box to find the bulb, cable, and instructions, you use it as the pendant shade. As clever and eco-friendly as it is, I can really only see Not a Box in an industrial interior.

Flipping through my vast magazine collection, I recently reread the March issue of InStyle. This issue featured the home of celeb socialite Nicky Hilton, and while I did find it quite chic (though fussy at times) for a 20-something, it wasn't the sophisticated interior design style that struck me. In the master bedroom, which she calls, "classic but naughty [ .
