After waiting entirely too long to change it, we finally removed the old grid and fluorescent light fixtures, and had them replaced with new, warm-color fancy LED fixtures. It easily looks twice as good in here now. A big, big thanks to Freedom Electric for doing all the work to install and wire them in. I can easily recommend them for any electrician's job you might have (although they might be a little busy now with a new birth in the family!).

Just looked up again and sighed. These fixtures are so beautiful. You seriously gotta come see these things. They make the ceiling look good. They make the books look good. They make me look good!
