Decorative Fluorescent Light Panels
How can I replace the plastic light panels in my ceiling without using basic cracked or white plastic panels? I have six 2 by 2 panels framed by wood. I've seen some clouds or iron designs, but they're usually for larger frames and way expensive.
I have white glass lamp shades on my kitchen chandelier. I want to remove them, and spray paint them a "color". My question would be, what is the best paint to use, where to purchase it, and if anyone has painted glass lamp shades with "success"?

Here are some tips on how natural light will affect your décor.
Did you know that old lamps can be painted? Start by cleaning the lamp of dust and dirt. Then apply Rustoleum type paint with a sponge or sponge brush.
