Fluorescent light covers

Have you ever looked up at the office, store or hospital ceiling and seen this?


Not very pretty is it? And those lights- my eyes! Hate the lights, love the covers. I used parts of one in my still-under construction, urban loft.

Sigh, so much inspiration, so little time!

Wishing you only good things, Neen
