Mirror, Mirror off the Wall

This past weekend, among a dozen other small chores, the husband and I jumped the gun. It's funner (more fun?) that way. The floor in my formals are still bare, and furniture is askew, but I wanted to get some work done in the Guest Bath.

Generally how it occurs is that I bring a tool or two in from the garage. A screw driver here. A roll of Blue tape there. "Honey, do you think I taped this well enough?" Once "honey" gets up to look, I know I've piqued his interest. And down comes the HUGE builder-grade mirror. YAY!!!

Only Instagram shots of this people, I was too lazy to take out the camera!



Since we are replacing the old mirror with a smaller mirror (that we have yet to research or purchase) that will be centered only on the sink, new lighting is in order. Hey, I don't make the rules people.

I made a quick run to Home Depot and Lowes yesterday to see what our new lighting options are. I know we need oil-rubbed bronze since our bathroom fixtures are all oil-rubbed bronze, including the faucet. I want to keep the Guest Bath BRIGHT, casual, farmhouse and vintage, as we are putting bead board on the main wall (instead of the board & batten I originally had planned - more on that in a different post).

Here are a few options I found... Keep in the mind, the glass will actually be CLEAR (more vintage looking and capable of bringing out the best light).  To me, Lowes had the best options. You could pick your fixture, then pick the glass lamp/piece/thing that you wanted. Kind of custom.



The two sconces are from Home Depot, but Lowes had something similar. However, I think my heart is palpating faster each time I look at the 3-light bar. It just feels right for the space. While we opted to take out the medicine cabinet, too (oops, forgot to mention that, did I?), I think trying to put a sconce in that left corner along with a new mirror might be tight.


Okay, enough tiny Instagram photos for this post. I promise to charge my camera and have it handy for my next post. ;)  We are moving right along on the guest bathroom and I cannot wait to slap some paint on those walls and really start to see the small space take shape. Now if I can only decide on a paint color.

Dun Dun Dunnnnnnnn.
