One way to quickly calculate is to assume a certain lumen per sq ft say 35. Assuming 63 sq ft, that makes it 35x 63. 35 lumens per sq ft is really quite bright. You could do with less, for example 25 - 30 lumens per sq ft. The formula does not account for transmission losses due to the shades, but would give you a ball park figure to play with.

Lovely! I like the classic white tile and porcelain and how you used furniture pieces in the bathroom. I love that the storage at the end of the tub has pull-outs that can be reached from the toilet. Your custom sink and backsplash and counter are unique and beautiful. Yours may be the first bathroom sink I have seen in which a small or medium dog could be washed! That is a good thing! I showed your pictures to my DH because I am thinking of classic tiled walls with a chair rail for when we redo our bath in a couple of years. He liked it! I was expecting him to say, "too old fashioned." He did not, he said it looked nice. From him, nice is a compliment. He even liked your rows of listello. I was just at the Tile Shop's site the other day looking at the Hampton tiles because someone was selling some on Craigslist. I am hoping to do as you did and get what I can cheaper there, and fill in the rest from the store. I can see that you worked very hard to secure all of your materials - and then cut the floor tiles to size and culled the Hampton tiles, too! You succeeded very well in getting the look you wanted while saving money along the way. Congratulations, and thank you for the pictures and great detail and supply list.

I saw a post on the HGTV decorating forum by Christmas Candy, I believe. It's really amazing how much (the pictures anyway) resemble the real thing.

I got a pair of single sconces for $119. The double sconce is $151. Both were on sale (quite a bit off, in fact). With free shipping! And a credit to use up. Woo hoo! Our current light bar is 3 lights with 40W bulbs in each with one over each sink. I've never felt it wasn't bright enough so I would think that 2 lights with 60W bulbs in each would be good. I can't imagine nearly doubling the light output by using 100W, or the equivalent, in each. The sconces aren't rated for higher than 60W but I could always bump up the lumens by switching to LEDs. Did we talk about this already? I'm having a serious case of deja vu. Fingers crossed that the mirrors either go on sale or that there's a coupon I can use for their purchase when they are back in stock.
