I feel bad about taking the nests down, especially considering all the work they put into it, but after seeing the cooked eggs in there the one year I kind of wondered how they felt. Maybe they just don't care. Gotta give 'em credit though, they're persistent! I didn't think about a rubber snake or something. I used to tack a piece of cardboard up just setting on the sensor unit up to the house. At first I thought they might try to build under it, but they didn't. Looked tacky, but it worked. And I have to go check the dryer vent too. They built in there one year too. I really jumped when the bird poked its head out at me the one day! I noticed some grass hanging and I went to pull it away and the vent pops open and the bird sticks its head out! Then pops back in. Maybe they thought I was selling something or a religious recruiter! All I know is she made it clear: GO AWAY! :)

all the lights in my house are on 12/2, heck there ain't a 15 amp breaker anywhere in teh panel. but i promise you i WISH there was at times! week before last i decided to put up secutiry lights since we were going out of town and the lady house sitting for us did not like how dark it was around the house(plus my wife has been asking me to do it for 3+ years). anyway i decide to put the switch right next to the back porch light switch and use that circuit to feed the lights. well, turns out that the reason they used 12/2 is that 1/3 of the lights are on 1 20A ciruit, 1/3 on another, and roughly 1/3 on another. only the bathrooms have dedicated lights! the way teh panel is in the wall will require that i rip open the sheetrock to pull new feeds, so that will be saved for later this summer when we redo the cabinets in there anyway. back to my point, 12/2 is great in that you can have more load per circuit, but i really sucks when you are trying to stuff three 12/2 feeds back in a box behind 2 switches! and yes, i use the largest box i can for ease of use and wirefill.

We currently have a 60" vanity with overhead lights. Our bathroom is 5' x 10', and I read that I need 300 watts of light for that size bathroom. I'm sold on sconces for our remodel because of our aging eyesight. We'll have two sconces with one sink. I've looked at all kinds of mirror configurations, but what makes the most sense is to set the sconces into a large mirror so that the light is bounced around the room. Did you say in another post that your ceiling is only 7 1/2' tall? I'm not sure a chandelier would look so good. I think they're better in powder rooms and in spacious bathrooms. Instead, I would use an exhaust fan/light combination to put light and ventilation over the toilet and shower area. I wouldn't count on the vanity lights, door, and a decorative chandy to supply enough light for the other side of the room. You need light for cleaning the toilet and shower and if anyone reads while on the can.

Shrina, the color is fine.(Although Polar White is a cool white w/more of a blue undertone. Since you have the brown tiles, I might have gone w/a warmer white. But you can work around it) once you get the mirror framed out, it will start to take shape. (maybe do a warm wood frame?) Add some cool hardware to your vanity. (maybe something w/decorative knobs) You don't want to paint the vanity? What you need is life on that large, blank wall! you could also do a shelf or two above the toilet to add a few accessories. here are some examples and all of them would perk up your space. do some inexpensive wood shelves. have some wood cut at Home depot, sand and stain them. get the brackets there too. (you can spray paint them silver, gold, white, whatever) then bring in some warm elements like the baskets, rolled towels, etc IF you paint your vanity white (or another color) it will revive the entire look ideas for the back wall,,,, this one you can cut a piece of peel and stick wallpaper, frame it, paint the frame, and voila! While on this one below, they did the entire wall. (you could do the peel and stick, regular wallpaper, or a mural). maybe some glass shelves over the toilet w/a picture or something. paint it a bold color (the one wall) and do some photography art or do a few picture shelves bold color, focal accessory (here they used a map, but any large picture or two would work) but look at the other items in the room. the rolled towels, a basket, nice rug, etc maybe a few pictures you can do something like this w/faux succulents. so a few shiplap boards, paint a darker color above it, add art or shelving and if you want to go full out, paint your vanity, add some wainscot around the bottom (you can DIY this) and whatever else you like get yourself a better vanity tray RL,4000K is hardly hospital-like. it's natural light. 2700 is really dim and really yellow. I think the lighting is fine. The glaring cool white walls are making it brighter. any reason why you picked white for the walls w/all of your brown/creamy tones?
