You light up my life - now let me hit something!

We have been going crazy trying to find the right light fixtures to put in our home. We have been researching online as well as jumping from store to store looking for that fixture that will forever be present once the switch is turned on.

One of the nice things about living in the old apartment back in L.I.C. (that's Long Island City, by the way) was living with whatever fixtures the super left for us. We weren't planning on throwing cash down on making decorative renovations so that some other person would enjoy what we left for them. I was cool with that and my too to some extent. We both looked forward to the day we would have our nice Co-op apartment in Astoria/LIC and we could fix it up as we wished.

Meanwhile back in Teaneck...

So we went ahead and bought all these light fixtures to eventually find out that they are all too big for the areas they are to be placed in. What is it with these houses with low ceilings? I'm even limited to the type of light fixture I can get without taking the risk of hitting my head against it.

According to my wife, she's says I'm exxagerating. Let's see after I have black and blue bruises on my noggin.
