Shedding Some Light on the Project

Today the lights that I ordered for the living and dining room arrived. The pictures were a little misleading however. I like the style, but on the internet, they definitely looked like the glass shades were white. When I opened the box they were ivory. In fact, on the box, the description was "ivory-etched glass". I checked the internet to see if that same description was posted in the website.

Nope. The shade is described as etched glass. That says a lot.

Will ivory still look good with all the trim and ceilings painted white? I don't want to return them, because I will have to pay shipping and handling and I was very happy that they were so affordable in the first place. All the other lights in the house are white glass. I want some consistency, so I will have to think hard about keeping these lights.

(3-9-07) Here is both the Thomas Lighting website and the CSNLighting website where I purchased it. Molly says that perhaps I have a case where I can return them since the information was not accurate. I still like the lights, I just think the shades should be white.
