Ok, seriously. I was really hung up on the vanity lighting thing and you guys helped me put it all in perspective. Like immediately. Funny how that happens, right?!?!
I really, really, really wanted two lights, but for some reason talked myself into that being too much for the small space. But the comments about it looking like a “cheaper alternative” to go with only one and the input to “pick out the mirrors first” (Well, duh … why didn’t I think of that!) got me over this little hump. All of the insight and comments are right hereΒ and would be very helpful for anyone trying to make a similar decision.
With my new objective in mind, a 2 light vanity light (we will be going with 2 mirrors, but more on that another time), I headed back out into the world wide web and, can I just tell you, so much easier to search with a more specific goal. Oh, you know, like I recommended when we talked about narrowing down all of the choices. #ShoulaTakenMyOwnAdvice
So here are some options that have caught my eye.
1 – I am kind of infatuated with brass right now, I think because it feels nautical.
2 – This one feels nautical to me too.
3 – I really like the look of the hardware on this one.
4 – I love the simplicity of this one, it could really let all of the other elements in the room shine. (Not meant to be a lighting pun, but kind of seems like one.) Ba dum bum.
5 – This one is very similar but with added glass vessels around each bulb.
6 – This one really caught my eye, but I can’t put my finger on exactly why.
7 – This one is very similar to the one light option I showed you here.
8 – I love the shape of this one and the nautical feel.
9 – The shape of this one is so cool I can hardly stand it, but I just wish it wasn’t black.
10 – I think it’s the shape of the glass of this one that really draws me in.
11 – Seriously, an insulator light!?!? I’m in love, add it to the list of reasons why I need to find me some insulators.
Now, here’s the thing. I’ve already picked the ones we’re going to get!!! Which one do you think it is? And which one is your favorite? Because the chances of us having the exact same taste on everything is, well, let’s just say rather unlikely. π
And, here’s the other thing, every single one of these options is from Shades of Light. After all of this searching and deciding and checking out option after option I found the lights for our master bathroom. So I reached out to Shades of Light (here are all of theΒ bathroom vanity light options where each of these can be found) and said something like “I have fallen head over heels for your lighting options and in particular have picked out a 2 light vanity light that will be the perfect addition to our new master bathroom (and I may have sent along some obligatory ugly bathroom renovation photos) and I would love you forever if we could work together.” Some might have found this a little forward, but they said YES and I thank them for providing two vanity lights for our renovation.
Too bad you’re not a mind reader and you don’t know which one it is … or are you? π
Carmen says
I like #1 best but I’m going to guess that you’ve picked # 2.
Karah says
Good guesses, Carmen. Isn’t that brass one awesome!?!?
Ron Hensley says
I really like # 9 also wish it wasn’t black.Karah you know where I can find or purchase that fixture?
Karah says
Hi Ron, all of those options are from Shades of Light, there is a link in the post to the bathroom lighting page where I found each of these options.
Julie says
I personally LOVE #11. #2 is way cool, and seriously, #9 just needs a smidge of spray paint, or maybe even rub-n-buff. I’m not even going to TRY to figure out what you chose – there’s too much good stuff here!
Karah says
hahaha, rub n buff … hadn’t thought of that but could work perfect for some de-blackification!!
Gwen says
My favorites are 1-11. Bet you went with one of those. haha. They are all fantastic. Good thing I’m not picking light fixtures right now, yo.
Karah says
Hahaha, I’ll take one of each, please!!!
Linda @ It All Started With Paint says
You have some expensive tastes, my friend! Smart thinking reaching out to Shades of Light! And I’m digging that brass nautical look these days too!

Karah says
Isn’t that brass one fantastic!!!
txvoodoo says
If you really like the shape black one, why not spray it a color you do like? I did that in my bedroom with a variety of lights to make them cohesive.
Karah says
Funny enough, I didn’t even consider it … but should have!
txvoodoo says
OH OH OH, my hub makes insulator lights. I love them too. I love the turquoisey ones. Check ebay for them but get the larger ones, or you have problems with bulbs fitting.
Karah says
Thank you for the tip! I would love the turquoise ones, too!!
Megan @ Our Pinteresting Family says
So many gorgeous options. I really love the first one …I think brass is growing on me. π
Karah says
I never even noticed brass, but am seriously in love with it right now!
Paula Kosko says
I vote for #8 – love that! In fact, I’m in the market for a 4-light fixture for my bath and wouldn’t mind knowing where to check if yours has a big brother.
Karah says
Hi Paula – Shades of Light has a lot of 4 light options at the link in the post as well! Happy Lighting Shopping!
Bluwatergal says
I really like both #3 & #11 ~ they both have nautical details, but still with an indoors vibe. Sometimes I pick a fixture and Bluwaterguy asks which pier security post is missing it’s light fixture! Any of these would be fab in your bath ~ just depends on the mirror and vanity. And none look like swipes from the pier security light post ~ too elegant for that π Which one did you pick??!
Karah says
Oh Bluwatergal, I can’t tell you yet … but it’s not 3 or 11. π
Heidi @ Decor & More says
I love number 8 but I think 11 is my fave — just something so unique and I love the finish. Great choices, Karah!

Lynn F. says
My favorite is #3! I do love the brass one though, it reminds me of the vintage brass chandeliers I love so much.
Karah says
I am totally with you on the brass and vintage brass chandeliers, they are grabbing my attention more and more!
Erin says
I love #10, but #2, I could see in a Key West home. I guess, it depends on how much light you want in there. I think you may be trying to throw us off, with all this talk about falling in love with brass. π lol I can’t see you going with something that is “typical”. I see you going with something just a little different, but cool.
Karah says
Well, I hope to live up to the “a little different, but cool” expectation. I take that as a compliment. So thank you!
Erin says
It is most definitely a compliment. π I love your style.
