Master Bathroom Lighting

Hello friends!!  I hope your week is off to a good start!!  Things are pretty good here....I wouldn't say this has been the best week ever....but it hasn't been bad either.....

So....what have ya'll been up to.....Are you on Spring Break?  If so....are you doing anything fun?  I've got "beach fever" big time with no planned beach trip in sight....sigh....ugh.....maybe this summer.....

BUT....one thing I am happy about....progress on the Master Bathroom!!  So....are ya'll sick of hearing about this never ending makeover yet?  I PROMISE....there will be an end to this.....well.....eventually......

Seriously though....I hope you are hanging in here with me.....and enjoying the ride......

One more thing that we've ticked off our list for the bathroom is lighting!!  Yay!!  We went for several weeks with NO lights in our bathroom.....yes....you heard me right....NO LIGHTS!!  It was awful!!  But luckily we had lights in some adjacent rooms that gave some light for the room, so it was usable....barely.....

BUT....now we have our new lights up.....AND.....THEY ARE GORGEOUS!!

SO....want to see?  I'll start with the lighting over the vanities.....

Here is the light over the Hubs vanity....


And here is the one over mine....


Ummm....Love!!  And the best part.....I got these for only $65 each at Home Depot!!  Yes....you heard that right....$65 each!!  Ummmmm.....I loved them even more once I saw the price!!

And....it wasn't a sale price....that was the regular price.....so....if you love them too....then go get your self some :)

I thought about thrifting some fixtures and making them over....but I just couldn't pass these up.....plus....I really thought it would look better if all the fixtures in the bathroom matched, since they are so close together.....

So....these were perfect because they were part of a collection of fixtures.....the Alexa Collection....so there were several different types of fixtures with a similar look......

Here's a look at the box.....


AND....this is what totally sealed the deal......


White linen glass.....I just thought it was so divine.....and different.....

SO....we went all in.....and we got this to go over the shower.....


And......I saved my favorite for last!!  I got a chandelier to go over my spa tub!!!!  :)

I've wanted a chandelier to go over the bath tub forever for a long time since we started the bathroom makeover....but the Hubs was really NOT feeling it....

Not that the man has EVER set foot in the tub, but he just really wasn't digging the chandelier idea.....but his big concern was putting something up there that was just too big for the space.....

SO.....luckily this collection of lights also included a small chandelier.....yahoo!!  And....once the Hubs saw it.....he agreed that we should go for it.....double yahoo!!

So.....here it is.....


I am SO going to enjoy this beauty while I'm soaking in the tub.....ok....maybe too much information....but it's SO true :)

And here's a look at the fixtures all lit up.....



I'm SO happy with how they look in our space!! 

The funny thing is.....it took us a LONG time to decide on these fixtures.....although they were some of the first ones that we looked at.....you know....that whole concern about "what if there is something better"....."what if"....."what if"......

You know....eventually I will learn not to second guess myself and just to go with my gut.....that would have cut down on a lot of driving and looking....and looking....and looking.....

SO.....what do ya'll think?  Gorgeous huh?  Well.....at least I think so.....

And just for fun.....so you can remember where we've been........here are a couple Before and After pics....



Yep....definitely looks a LOT better!!

And there's still SO much more to talk about in this space :)

But for now.....it's way too late.....so gotta get to bed.....

Until next time....

XOXO-

Very Nice! I found your blog because we are building a house and considering using the Alexa light fixtures in our bathrooms and Kitchen / Dining areas and I wanted to see some real world pictures. Your pictures are really helpful. I'd love to see more, especially featuring the gray paint. I'm still trying to convince my husband that gray is the right way to go with the paint.
