Help with bathroom lighting selections
Comments (9)treasuretheday, I am also partial to bling! Your bathroom is very nice and elegant (if you can use that word to describe a bathroom). The Clarissa chandelier is also nice and very similar. I will definitely post pictures, but youâÂÂll be waiting a whileâ¦we havenâÂÂt even broken ground yet! Hopefully weâÂÂll be doing that within the next few weeks. IâÂÂm an obsessive researcher and planner, and want to select things when I have time to give it adequate thought instead of rushing to pick something because the installers are there, if that makes sense. AnnieDeighnaugh, good point about the scale of the sconces. motherof3inct, several of us in this thread seem to be lovers of bling. Interesting point about the finish on the Bryant sconce- I hadnâÂÂt considered that. Karenseb, thanks for weighing in. I think all of the glass will look nice togetherâ¦.at least I hope so. bsmith1- I totally understand your point. That has been my concern. IâÂÂve been leaning towards the Robert Abbey chandelier (option 1) because I love the bling, but I donâÂÂt want to cross the line into too much bling. Lascatx, I could see the dust issue with the capiz. I also feel like I would be more likely to tire of it than the first option. Thanks for making the point about the shine factor/softness of the glass vs. the metal. Now that I consider your point, I can see that the glass sconce option (the Muses) might read as less âÂÂlook at meâÂÂ, if you know what I mean. snookums2, I was aware of the code issue. I donâÂÂt believe that will be an issue in our area, but I may end up putting the chandelier over the main floor area instead of over the tub. The chandelier would be high enough that errant water drops, etc. shouldnâÂÂt be a concern, though. Lzhwong, the mirrors in my post are from Z Gallerie. Restoration Hardware also had some similar mirrors at one point. For a much cheaper option, check out the Martha Stewart Linden Mirror currently on clearance at Home Depot. ItâÂÂs not quite as large, and the sides arenâÂÂt mirrored, but it is a very similar look for much less money. Z Gallerie also has a similar mirror with a beaded detail- The Omni. I'm posting a link for the Reflections mirror below. It looks like the Robert Abbey Bling chandelier is the winner! ThatâÂÂs the one I was leaning toward, so thanks for helping me make up my mind. Sometimes I think about things so long I start to second-guess my decisions, so it is nice to have opinions from others. I think IâÂÂm leaning towards the Robert Abbey the Muses sconce right now, but IâÂÂm going to give that a little more thought and consider scale/shine/softness, as mentioned above. Here is a link that might be useful: Z Gallerie Reflections wall mirror...See MoreNeed ideas for bathroom mirrors.... help!
Comments (10)It's a bit hard for me to vote for what to put in the bottom two baths because I'm not sure what else is going in there. In general, I like frameless mirrors in a very "light" feeling bath -- mostly white and/or pedestal vs vanity. I like painted wood frames in a variety of bathrooms. And of course Lyfia's mirrors are really pretty in her room, and would work nicely in your two lower bathrooms if you're skewing mostly lighter or white wood/tile/fixtures. Can you fill us in a bit more? For your top two baths a framed silver-tone mirror with a fairly substantial frame (again, much like Lyfia's) would be my second choice. As you have some visually "hefty" items in the vanity and counter colors, however, I too would like to see a dark-stained framed mirror. Now granted, I'm a bit biased as the dark-with-dark is what I did, but as I was using mostly light colors in there I didn't want the vanity to be all by its lonesome. So: Good luck finishing up. Doing one bath reno drove me wild -- I can't imagine having a brain left after *four* bathrooms!...See MoreNeed help W/Tile selection for bathroom
Comments (15)Beautiful bathroom! did you do a "reveal" when you finished? If you didn't, its not too late. Include products used, and how things are working for you. I love the floor with the counter....See MoreNEED HELP with existing 112" Bathroom Mirror
Comments (15)We are definitely not doing a low vanity! We talked to our contractor and asked him to try to save the mirror when he takes it down. But we also added $1000 to our budget in case it breaks and we need a new one. We want to stick with the full mirror wall for that bathroom. Cabinets and counters were ordered today!...See Morerobinrlg
