Guest Picks: 20 Fabulous Ceiling Lights
Replace those boring overhead light fixtures with flush mounts that shine with personality
If your home was built within the last ten years, then chances are it came with those hideous builder-grade "boob lights" — you know, the ceiling lights with the round dome and screws smack dab in the middle that make them look like a silicone-injected mammary? If you haven't replaced them already, then you're probably dying to. With so many attractive options out there, it's a real wonder why builders still stick with the plain (buxom) Jane version. — Laura from JourneyChic
