alternative to boob light ceiling fixture

[pierogigirl]

We need to replace the mismatched fixtures (original 1960s vintage, but not cool 1960s) on our ceilings.  There are four fixtures close to one another.  One needs to be a sconce because there is a skylight on the ceiling.  I think the three others should match.  I wanted to avoid the boob light, but I haven't seen anything I like better.  I need to decide soon.  Help! Or are boob lights fine and I should just go with them?

I went with semi flush mounted lights when I replaced mine.

Yep. I hate boob lights. We used this exact one in our entry way:

The other thing we did was replace our flush mount boob light shades with drum shades (kept the base, bought longer threaded rods, shades fit over & around the old base) because new ones with new bases were going to be too expensive.

I have a strong disdain for boob lights, too. I have similar to these in several houses. They come in different sizes, so you can light different sized rooms.

Just say no to boob lights and get a semi flush mount!

In my home there were a few boob lights that I hated, but the space definitely called for something flush mount. I've been supremely happy with these: www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/40389169/

Pottery Barn has some flush mounts on sale now. Wayfair also has a lot of nice ones.

I replaced my boob lights with something that looks almost exactly like this:

We just swapped out all of the ceiling boobs at my mother's place.

We got a couple of semi-flush mounts with drum shades.
