Bathroom Lighting Woes

Saturday, February 21, 2015

Are you all tired of the "Blizzard of 2015?" We got 1 inch of snow and 1/4 inch of ice in Raleigh and school was closed ALL WEEK! My whole family is ready to pull their hair out. Now that the weekend is officially here and our new bathroom lights arrived, I was hoping that we could get the majority of the bathroom redo finished. And that my new bath would look like this:

Yeah right! I don't have that kind of reno budget but a girl can dream.

I opened the light boxes and they are gorgeous! I paid close attention to the wattage when ordering the lights and these take 3-65 watt bulbs. Not bad. But, they are chandelier bulbs which put out less lumens. Womp womp. So now we are back to the drawing board.

I am considering these, but am not sure about the shades.

This light would be perfect for the boys bathroom.

I love this look! But it wood involve an electrician and cutting the mirror.

This look would allow us to use the new mirrors, but still involves an electrician.

I can't find affordable (under $200 each), beautiful, bright light, 3 bulb chrome lights anywhere! Extra points for chrome or crystal accents. No fabric shades.

We struck out at Lowes, Home Depot, Joss & Main, Overstock, and Lamps Plus. But maybe we missed something. Any suggestions?

Bathroom Lighting

Hey ya'll! It's snowing here in Raleigh! Just a tiny bit so far, but school has already been cancelled for tomorrow.

The crown molding is up in our Master Bath!

And we purchased mirrors! Can you tell that I am excited?!? Thank you to everyone who commented on the blog and my Facebook page. If you follow me on Instagram then you already know which one we picked...none that were shown!

I loved this mirror from ZGallerie, but not the price tag.

Omni Mirror $299

And I needed two! That was over my budget for the entire bathroom redo. We headed to Kirkland's to pick up one of the mirrors in the mock up below (the lower left one).

Luckily, I found a look for less option at Kirkland's. And they were on sale for $38! And we had a coupon!

This picture is awful, so check out my Instagram for a better one.

While on the Zgallerie site I found these lovelies on sale:

Alexa Canister & Box $16 on Sale

Caprise Pillar Holder $15-$19 on Sale

Back to the bathroom, we ordered these lights from Lowe's.

Now we just have to paint, install mirrors, install lights, hang new towel bars and we will be done. If only it were that easy.

Stay warm and cozy!

New lighting from World Market

I am in love with some of the lamps and chandeliers at World Market. I keep trying to think of homes for them in our house.

World Market has become one of my go-to stores for home decor and furniture. Many of their items have the look of higher end items found at Pottery Barn and West Elm.
