Pretty Alternatives to the Not So Pretty Boob Light
Pretty Alternatives to the Not So Pretty Boob Light
So, you know those lists that pop up on blogs and your Facebook newsfeed like 10 of the Hottest Design Trends for 2015? Well, you know what I never see make those kinds of lists? Something affectionately known as the boob light. It appears in homes all over America and has sneakily become the go to flush mount ceiling fixture. In case youre unfamiliar with this style of ceiling fixture, heres a lovely example:

We have a total of have five - yes, five! - in our little rental. Oy. Since we rent, were not allowed to take them down, so Im just happily ignoring them, but that doesnt mean I cant dream about the pretty fixtures Ill put a future house someday :).
(P.S. No offense if you have these and like them! Theyre just not my favorite. To each his own, right?)
Many of us need to have flush mount or semi-flush mount ceiling fixtures in our homes, and Ive got some good alternatives to the boob light to share with yall today. Here are some of my favorites:

{Houzz}
{Nest Egg}
{Shades of Light}
{The Lettered Cottage}
{Spearmint Decor}
{Shades of Light}
{Houzz}

What do you think? Does seeing these make you want to replace the boob lights in your home? There are some real beauties out there and they can add such great style to a space!

Oscar Season is Over And So is This Blog
Oscar Season is Over And So is This Blog
I didnt really know how to appropriately title this post so I just went for the plain and simple truth. I was going to spend this post writing about the Oscars but considering I couldnt rustle up that many readers for my predictions, why bother with a whole lot of other stuff that other people will already be writing about which means Id get cancelled out? Pardon me for my bitter tone, but this is pretty much the reason why I have to stop blogging so I can focus my energies on something that will be appreciated.
Anyway, as for the Oscars: pretty exciting. Apart from the Jennifer Lawrence win. That just dragged down everything. Dont get me wrong, I love her. I liked her in Silver Linings Playbook. But you cant tell me thats the best female performance of the year. Honestly. It is so weird that shes an Oscar winner now. I was so happy that Christoph Waltz won, though, that I actually cried in front of my class mates. I adore him. That made my year.
What also made my year was Jessica Chastains dress. It wasnt as amazing as last years dress but she looked like a total angel. Plus, Amy Adams looked like a total angel too. Must be the red hair that makes people instantly perfect.
Seeing Jean Dujardin again was nice, too. I cant believe it has been a whole year since then, I swear Im still in 2011 mode.
This Oscars has made me a little sad, though, since this will be the last one where Ill be writing away about it and running home from school to watch it and stuff like that. It is just the little things that make this day special. Hopefully, though, next year Ill be celebrating a Chastain win (for The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby) or maybe even Leonardo DiCaprio being recognised. I can dream.
For now, Im shutting up shop here. Sorry to anyone who has commented in the past week - I literally have not had any time to reply and everythings a bit irrelevant now, isnt it? Alas, Ive said plenty of thank yous in the past and I honestly cant repeat them enough. Im really thankful of anyone who has taken the time to read the blog and comment and stuff. I am looking forward to having some free nights with lots of sleep and a few more movies in my life. Maybe Ill be back here again. Just keep an eye out in your feed.
If not, hopefully youll see me at the Oscars in 20 years time.
