Looking for new lighting fixtures, faucets or other home improvement items? I've used both these sites and really saved. They've got great customer service and an extensive inventory.

Lightingdirect.com This Westinghouse flushmount retailed for almost $50 at a local lighting retailer. I bought one there to ensure the style was right, but got three more for $29 ea. at lightingdirect.com

Faucetdirect.com A Kohlor Memoirs series bathroom faucet that retails for $304.28 at a home improvement chain is $272.94 at faucetdirect.com. Orders over $99 ship free.



For ceiling fan savings on Hunter and others (Minka, Fanimation, and Broan Ceiling & Bath Fans) go to the Value Brothers eBay store. It's owned by a former Memphian who was an early entrepreneur on the e-tailing front. You can bid or "buy it now" on most items. The best part for shopping Hunter fans is Value Brothers includes dimension drawings that aren't available on the Hunter site.
