Are Boobie Lights a Turn On?

I just read a post from Color Chats about how some lighting companies are inspired by Benjamin Moore and are tweaking their lamps and decor to coordinate and or match with Benjamin Moore colors. Now THAT'S innovative!


The lattice on this  shade can be made to any Benjamin Moore hue. Please read the post on Color Chats to read all about these cool finds.

Now speaking of lighting in my house, I have a HUGE problem. 


THIS!!

Aka - the “Boobie” light.

Unfortunately, this lovely appears in various places in my home and I find it quite distracting. It doesn't provide any decent light, it's ugly, it's in all the homes in my neighborhood and I'm tired of my guests making jokes about it because of what it looks like. Why did the builders do this? Was it “lighting fixture of the week” when they built my home?

Needless to say, it's un understatement that I would like it replaced. But, as you may guess, finding “the one” may not be an easy feat. Here's some of the other lighting fixtures I have in my home.


This fixture is in my soon to be bar (being constructed as we speak) so it was purchased with having a theme in mind. The bar is a step back in time and will have the look of an old Bardello. Decor will be ornate and gaudy.


I love this lamp! This to will be in the bar room. Love the feathers! It was originally $140 and I bought if for $30 (hello Designers' discount).


This chandler is standard and very typical in the homes in my area. This will be seen from across the bar and will be replacing this eventually to but … getting back to the boobie light.


What to do with this???????

  1. How many do you have like this? We changed out every light in our home like these. We actually found some awesome lights on ebay, that are antiques and for a great price. I would look for the style you are going for and check it out, that way it would be unique as well.
