I want to use a pair of these fixtures from Lowe's to replace the brass boob light currently in my long, narrow family room. It comes in a brushed nickel finish but I plan to take a can of gold spraypaint to the cage to make it fit in with the design plan.
Also from Lowes, this flushmount fixture would add some great vintage style to your kitchen.
Progress Lighting lantern from Home Depot comes in brass, polished nickel and this dark bronze finish.
This star fixture from Ballard Designs would add so much personality to a mud room or hallway.
I just love this Acanthus ceiling light from Shades of Light I used in a moodboard for a client's family room.
Ultimately, my clients chose to go with another great option also from Shades of Light
So there you have it! Who says lower ceilings can't be stylish?
Do you have any others to add to my list?

Love the first one, Kim!!! Great post. Have seen plenty of people hit light fixtures with their head!
Hope that you have had a great weekend.

We have low ceilings in our dining room and I feel like every fixture I want hangs to low. We have one that is only a few years old but I had buyer's remorse almost from the start. Ugh.
Really like the Acanthus one.
Lowe's sometimes surprises you. I love the last fixture from Shades of Light.
Great round-up! I LOVE that acanthus light you used on the moodboard!
This is a big problem in my house too, Kim - the lower ceilings. It's so hard to find interesting lighting that is flush or semi-flush mounted....thanks for sharing these great options!
Also your mood board is so similar to one I did for my basement - even the same orange and white pillow for my leather couch! (but it's out of my price range - boo.) Loving an orange and navy color scheme if I can ever get going on that project.
Awesome post! We really struggled with the 8' ceilings in our Chickamauga house and wound up going with some of the more attractive looking track lights in that kitchen & living room that are available at Lowe's lately.
Can we start an internet movement to rid the world of boob fixtures? They should be outlawed. Of course, I love all of your choices and am really liking the look of a hanging lantern in entry ways and other spaces lately. Perhaps you'll use one of the fixtures in the Dollhouse? :)
LOVE the Acanthus ceiling light!!!!
Beautiful mood board as well!
Great light fixtures! We are needing some for our kitchen - lots of great ideas here and I really like the lantern!

I recommend the first one all the time -- i love it! Love the one they went with too :)

Well, I like best the last one! I find it very impressive! Anyone walking into that room would stop and stare!
You are so right. With great options like these, there's no excuse for anyone to settle for a boob light.
love your collection... and the mood board is great!!! thanks for stopping by ~
I just did the same , replaced THE BOOB lights ( disgusting)
I got some from the HAbitat Restore and painted them, but I do LOVE the first one you posted!

Those are great options! There is really no excuse for boob lights anymore, is there?
