Affordable Chandeliers -- 20 Under $200

Been searching "affordable chandeliers", "inexpensive chandeliers", "bedroom chandeliers"? Well, good luck, because I was once there myself! And I will be the first to tell you that it takes a lot of searching to find a quality-looking chandelier with a small price tag.
I recently moved back home to Dallas after graduating from college in California. Because I'm in no rush to find employment and my parents house has plenty of vacant space, I have moved back home! But before I would allow myself to unpack my 19 boxes from college, I decided out with the old and in with the new! So, my old bedroom was completely gutted in order to give it a more lush, sophisticated mood... now that I'm a mature college grad now and all!
With a modern-romantic motif in mind, I knew a small-yet-fancy chandelier would be the perfect accent over the vanity in the corner of the room. My budget in mind -- $300, but only if it was picture perfect to one envisioned in my head. Ideally, I would like to spend around $100, so with those things in mind, my search began only to result in hours of unavailing Internet searches and antique-shop roaming. I decided that if I ever found decent, affordable chandeliers I would compile all my research in hope of saving someone hours of ceiling fixture browsing!
Many blogs I read mentioned searching for chandeliers at antique and vintage shops. I will testify that most antique shops have chandeliers, but it takes a lot of searching. If you don't have hours to spend (during the day) wandering antique malls, then don't waste your time. Also, the authenticity of the chandelier was not important to me; it was simply a look I desired, so the list I compiled isn't comprised of only real crystal chandeliers. Acrylic and glass components are used in most of these.
