Houses- what is in & what is out?

<p>I gave up looking at the lighting site on p. 13, having found only one lamp I cared for in the least - $550. I really think pendant lamps are ugly or incredibly impractical, as in how on earth would one dust that thing, how often would one have to dust it, etc. I too have a shiny brass candelabra type chandelier in the dining room, into which I’ve put the curly fluorescent bulbs. Not ideal, I know, but lots of light now!</p>

<p>In the kitchen I installed a fixture for fluorescent tubes that fits flush against the ceiling with white molding at the edges. You can buy full spectrum bulbs that look warm enough and put out plenty of light. I’m really happy with this thing, particularly since I am now going to change the first bulb after about 10 years of constant use.</p>

<p>Sorry, I’m not much help ;)</p>
