You might remember that I started a little powder room makeover a couple of months ago. I’m like, the slowest diy blogger on the face of the internet, so obviously this makeover is still in progress.
I rarely start a makeover with a full-on plan. I usually just start with an inspiration piece, and then I let things evolve as I go. In the case of this little bathroom I started with an inspiration image. I’ve been majorly crushing on red and pink color combos for a while now, and since I’ve never been one to shy away from bold colors I decided this small half bath was the perfect place to play with a fun color palette. I painted the walls a light pink (Charming Pink – Sherwin Williams) and the ceiling the same shade of red as the living room (Porter – Apple Red). Here’s a little peek. Keep in mind the trim work still needs a fresh coat of paint.
When I removed the wallpaper I was pleasantly surprised to find that there’s wiring for a sconce to hang over the mirror. I’m still unsure why the previous owners would wallpaper over it, and I’m hoping there are no issues with the wiring.
Anyhow, I’m having a little trouble deciding on a direction to go with the lighting. The faucet is chrome and the mirror over the pedestal sink is a round shape. Sooo……the question is…………
Do I continue with the glamourous girly look and bring in this mini crystal pendant with this 3-light vanity light?
Or do I try to balance the glamour of the pendant with this more industrial kind of vintage looking 2 light fixture?
Or should I go more boutique hotel with this 2 light fixture or
maybe a vintage french industrial style would be fun?
Or do I go soft and pretty with this capiz pendant and 2 light vanity sconce combination.
Or do I dare to mix in some gold with this gorgeous hanging lotus pendant and this classic style sconce?
Or is there some other lighting options you think I should consider? I’m clearly having decision issues. Lighting makes such a huge impact, especially in a small space. This is also where the majority of the makeover budget will be spent so I want to choose something I’ll love for a good long time. What are your thoughts? What option would you choose?
This mini-makeover has been dragging on for far too long, but I hate to make a rash decision. Help a sister out!! 😉
I think #6 is my first choice and #5 is my second. I am not a fan of the other pendant light. But I am sure whatever you put in there will look fantastic!
