I'm not great on design archaeology, but if if you - for example - were to see American Craftsman in today's kitchens, then chronologically the next era is the 1930s and 1940s. Deco makes a reappearance now and then. It was big in the '80s, although mostly in the form of ugly pink and black ceramic statues of pumas and skinny naked women. Very intentionally kitschy. I went to an astonishing Art Deco exhibit at the MFA a few years ago (bought the book, got the CD) that included some of the originally pieces from the 1925 Paris exhibition. The "real thing" is flat-out stunning and still quite modern today. I'm putting a lot of Deco touches in my house here and there. My TV sits on my mom's hope chest from the '30s, with great Deco trim. I just ordered a couple of reproduction 1930s metal tables. Over my couch, I've got a cool book plate of a French flapper beaning her boyfriend over the head with her umbrella in a park. I will say, though, that my efforts to do a real vintage bathroom made me rethink my commitment a bit. I've got a repro vintage toilet (not one that someone would recognize as weird, t hough); old fashioned flat mini subways; that typical Art Deco double-line of contrasting-color tile; etc. But I find that going vintage can be a real uphill battle. Every single contractor, salesperson, designer, whoever you deal with, will be fighting you ever step of the way. That means, rather than helping you achieve your vision, they'll keep raising unexpected new objections and yammer in your ear until you back down. Plus, sourcing just isn't very easy. You have to have a fair amount of time, money or both to go vintage. If you're in a hurry on a budget, it's a lot harder. That is why so many renovations are so clearly time-stamped. The easiest thing to do is always what everyone else is doing, too.

None of those will provide good light. You’ll look sickly and won’t be able to apply makeup. You need to reassess this design. It isn’t good. It’s truly terrible in fact. Cramming in two pedestal sinks with no storage and putting a giant dead body in between to block lighting is not a good plan. And neither are vanities in front of windows. It’s a dysfunctional to the max plan. You need a single sink vanity, in the center, with storage below. And 2 face height sconces on that wall. Plus additional general room lighting, and task lighting above the toilet, tub, and shower. All have to be damp rated to be used in a bathroom. Not kitchen lights.

So yes, according to the above, it would be.

I am thinking it may be best to get the mirrors hung, actually see what the wall reality is, and then begin to fine tune what sort of sconce measurement I am dealing with … whether a hanging pendant is best and/or 2 very small diameter, inconspicuous can lights need to be considered. My gut is leaning towards a fairly narrow option, 3-5 inches wide, max. And to Paul’s image, the side walls are an option however if I do the curbless shower its most likely the left wall is being removed, unless I make a pony wall that reaches the ceiling … that has crossed my mind and where a niche could be made and a sconce. Options 😉. Thank you all!!! So helpful 💝
