I want to make or buy but can't remember what they're called. The decorative devices that go between the ceiling and the lights. I even made one for my neighbor a few years ago.
I don't want to go around asking for a thingamijig the goes on the whatsamacallit.
Please help an old man's failing memory.

You might be describing a ceiling medallion, which is the decorative white surrounding the lights base in the pic below

Now the bronze looking part is the base, but we use base on the bottom usually, so many call them "canopies" I don't know an electrician that does, but in the "lighting showrooms" holding my pinkie up, and smiling real big......

Let us not seek the Republican Answer , or the Democratic answer. Let us not seek to fix the blame for the past. Let us accept our own responsibility for the future John F. Kennedy

Steve;
Ding Ding Ding. You got it right. I'll probably paint to match the walls.

I have 6 of those in my house and I know that sounds like bragging but I have to be honest I put them up with a few screws and some adhesive. I imagine someday they will have to get painted

women have trouble understanding Trump's MAGA theme because they had so little involvement in making America great the first time around.

Just for the record, I'll be using these on 1/2 of the kitchen ceiling where I'm using HM ply to match the cabinets.

My wife and I were just at a local light fixture store yesterday, and I saw them on display.

Cooler,
I had to go check out Amazon and see what a $150 medallion looked like. Man, I was hooked, scrolling thru looking at all the options. Foam, plastic, WALNUT, bronze. Then I scrolled a new page and $189 popped up. $209, $259, $300, then a 37-1/2" bronze at over $400 bucks. Man oh man... i'd get a crick in my neck staring up all the time if I put a $400 medallion over a chandelier.
(Yeah, yeah... I know. Folks who do, usually never give the money a second thought... lol.)
