We love this reproduction pharmacy lamp from Crate and Barrel. Toronto antique hunters will know the hard-to-find originals can fetch well over $1,000, but this bronze version is much more affordable at $149. The classic is also versatile—use one as a desk lamp or a pair on bedside tables.

I agree, never underestimate the power of lighting in a room! :) I love pendant lights and i have these throughout my home and i love the transformation it has made. I get many compliments from my guests.
