MARNI JAMESON: Lighting trends Part II: Take your fixtures from builder grade to custom
Updating a home’s light fixtures, and changing out those original builder packages, is one of the best and often overlooked ways to make a standard production house look more custom.

Homes are like so many aspects of life. If you choose to not see what you don’t want to see, it’s easier, and often, less expensive. Overlooking the peeling paint, the wood rot, the stained carpet, and the worn-out appliances is simply more convenient.
So it was with my light fixtures. Since moving into the Happier Yellow House three years ago, my husband and I have had a long to-do list: refinish the wood floors, paint all the walls, add built-ins, get window treatments, replace the roof, and re-landscape. As a result, I turned a blind eye to the dated light fixtures overhead, preferring to stay blissfully in the dark.
