Need some ideas for my 1950's bathroom restore
Comments (30)The leaks didn't come from the shower head/ faucet side but on the opposite end, which is an outside wall. The water was dripping directly underneath down the basement wall. I've scoped out a couple of pro tile installation/repair companies and will have them come in to check it out and provide estimates to clean the floor and repair the shower. Finally got up to the attic to get the spare tile. Fortunately, I've got about 70 brand new wall tiles which the original owner had left behind. Gathering dust for over half a century but am glad to have them!...See MoreVanity sconces: is 60 watts enough?
Comments (3)Yes, the frosting will decrease the light output. To compensate, you could over budget by 10% for incandescent lighting. On the other hand, using the Robern Candre CFL sconce as an example, the output from the 26W CFL is such that there might not be any need to compensate. There are other ways to address the issue - such as 1. Using a combination of sconces and overhead lighting located between the mirror and vanity front edge. 2. Using lighted mirrors. 3. More sconces....See MoreNeed vanity lights that "match"...
Comments (23)Ooooh, that's going to be a gorgeous room once completed! I can totally understand why you fell so hard for the chandelier. It's going to come alive in that room. :-) (Love your floor too!) OK ... think simple. Oil-rubbed bronze fixture with relatively clean lines and alabaster shades. Maybe along these lines: http://www.lowes.com/pd_550229-60051-BB306510___?productId=50071013&pl=1&Ntt=vanity+lights+bronze Sounds like your DH would like to stick to a budget (totally understandable!), although there are some really pretty fixtures out there for a little over $200 IMO. Still, I think you can find something workable that won't break the bank. Like I said - simple but complementary, to let your chandy shine. The one you just posted (Golden Lighting Meridian) is a little too fussy, IMO, and the rope-like details don't mesh with your chandy....See MorePlan too ambitious??

Comments (49)I have an update and would love to get some feedback before I order the final accessories. (Demo begins one week from today!) I got a quote for replacing the vanity with white cabinetry complete with a sitting area, plus hardwiring of sconces. The costs all added up to too much for me, so I'm sticking with my vanity and overhead lighting location. I feel great about my choices for tile, bath tub, paint, and fixtures. My worry is that all the little accessory details won't quite work together, diminishing the beauty of the bathroom as a whole. I need to buy the accessories soon; here's what I have in mind. With overhead lighting instead of sconces, I prefer one large mirror. The mirror is by Pottery Barn, a wooden frame with gold gilt, 72" x 36". Perfect size for the space, very very very hard to find. This is technically a floor-length mirror, so I hope it can be mounted horizontally! PB customer service was useless when asked. The lights are also PB, polished nickel. For practical reasons, I ruled out any overhead lights that take type B bulbs (too dim) and have fabric shades (too hard to clean). As a big plus, these are on sale for $170 each. Do they go with the mirror and the rest of the room? Chandelier is PB, 18" diameter, antique brass, UL-listed. This will be over the tub on a dimmer. It was hard to find a chandy that's not too big, ornate, and/or expensive. Knobs and pulls are glass and polished nickel from Restoration Hardware. Towel ring, TP roll, and hook are Ballard Design in polished nickel. Fabric for the roman shade is gray on cream linen. Shower bench is Signature Hardware in teak. I hope this will help tie in the wood of the vanity with the other side of the room. Towel warmer is polished stainless steel (no nickel option) from Signature Hardware. If anything doesn't quite mesh or looks wrong, I would love to hear, as well as any suggestions for alternatives!...See MoreLeah Tighe
