Decor Thoughts: Unique lighting for the home

When you walk into a room, what do you notice?

One of the things that strike me most about a room is the lighting - it can be the amount of light or type  of lighting in a room.  Our new apartment has several groups of interesting pendant lighting in the living room.  But I would love to have chandeliers (including my most popular pin on Pinterest with a chandelier in a pink and gray bedroom!) some day to give that unexpected chic edge.  Unique lighting in the most unusual places - like a kitchen or bedroom - really make an unexpected statement.  Or lighting in different forms, like in the stainless steel chandelier or adorable bowling hats (how fun for a family room!) would be fun too!

Unique lighting can also be a chic, but cheap way (at least cheaper relative to other large statement pieces) to make a great decor statement.

What are your favorite examples of lighting?
