    Bathroom Lighting and Mirrors

    April 8, 2013 by Ashley Mayes 3 Comments

    We were finally able to get the bathroom mirrors and lights up (minus new can lights). New electrical had to be run and that is always an adventure. Last time I showed the bathroom, it looked like this:

    Now, it looks like this:

I'm hoping I can mix metals (the right way) with the sconces and the rest of the bathroom hardware/accessories. I read a recommendation in HGTV magazine that said to make mixing metals deliberate by having at least two items of each metal in the room. I'm going to stick to that guideline.

    I picked up the mirrors at TJMaxx for just under $50 each. I'm going to Craigslist the original mirrors, so we might eventually break even on the mirrors.

    I plan to just enjoy actually having a useable bathroom for a little bit, before we tackle anything else in there. =)
