Office light

One of my favorite blogs - Young House Love just created a lighting line at Shades of Light and I love this light for the office.  The color is perfect!

This old picture shows the current light - Yuck!

What do you think?  Do you like exposed lights?  That is the one thing I am not 100% sure about.
We have 2 other styles of these lights and I want to replace them...just not sure with what.
