There are so many dead spaces in my house that looked so out of place that I remedy them with tiffany lighting.  For an old house that we just bought the architect really made it so difficult to set my style of interior decoration.  I had so many plans for the house.  The dead spaces are permanent too so there is no way to get rid of them.  So I bought a couple of tiffany lighting and placed it strategically there to make it look like a very important part of the house too.
