If your home was constructed 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 slap dab in the center that make them seem like a silicone-injected mammary? If you haven’t replaced them , then you are probably dying . With so many appealing choices out there, it’s a true wonder why builders still stick with the plain (buxom) Jane variant. — Laura from JourneyChic
