Lucia Lighting & Design, Inc.

Profoundly knowledgeable about lighting and always willing to go the extra mile for clients, Lucia owner Lucy Dearborn could earn this award based on customer service alone. But there's more: namely, an 8,000-square-foot store, comprising 12 showrooms in a stately mansion. And what you see at Lucia is only a fraction of what's available, since Dearborn and her designers will track down any fixture you want and install it in your home.
