It’s my favorite day of the week around here as it is Which One Wednesday and you get to tell me what you think I should do in our master bathroom makeover. If you have missed the previous choices from my Just Four Things series, we began with the countertops and mirror frame. I have to say that you all threw me for a loop last week when the overwhelming majority chose the simple frame for our mirror. I didn’t see that one coming! This week we are looking at the lighting situation. I will be keeping the chandelier above the bathtub but want to swap out the current lighting over our sinks. Will you help cast a vote for your choice? …………………………a look at the current lighting
Keep in mind we will be framing out the mirror in silver as well as switching up the countertops {in most likely something that resembles marble or a light gray and white granite}
We are changing the following four things:
Countertops Frame the Mirror Lighting Faucets Here is a little mood board of what is already going on in the space so you can get a better idea of what will be staying. …………………………….…here’s what’s staying Also important to know that I will most likely change the finish on the chandy. Either a polished chrome or a pop of color. Choice #1 covington hotel triple sconce from Pottery Barn
Choice #2 campaign triple sconce restoration hardware
So what would you do? Which one is your favorite? Please cast a vote. I truly love hearing your opinions and was swayed by many of you with the mirror choice!
Number one. Two looks like it could be outdated soon
I like the classic look of the shades on #2…..but I wonder which one casts better light for putting on makeup and whatnot? Your bathroom is already so pretty – can't wait to see the changes you make!
I like number 2 if it give off enough light for the bathroom.
I'm drawn to #2…little different and unexpected in the bathroom!
#2, flows with current chandy nicely.
Number one-classic!
I like #1…but then I'm usually drawn to things that look "carved" with ball detail!
i'm a fan of choice #2. anything with small lampshades is so nice!
I like number two better, but you'd have to be sure that the shades don't make the light too dim. Good, bright lighting is super important in a bathroom.
I love #1. Would choice #2's shade hold up in the moisture of a bathroom?
I prefer #1
I love choice 1. I currently have those shades from choice 2—and although cute—I do wonder if they would hold up in the bathroom as well?
They're both beautiful, but I'm drawn to #1!
Option 1 is best! Trust me. It's fabulous.

definitely # 1. 🙂
I like the Pottery Barn one! It is classic and gorgeous. The second one is equally pretty, but I'm not sure how I would feel about those cloth shades in a place that can get a lot of moisture like a steamy shower. Also, I'd be afraid that spraying hair products or something would wear them out over time. That's just me over thinking as usual.
I just love this series!!! I'm drawn to #2, but only if it can cast enough light, as others have already said. Can't wait to see which one you choose!
i cast my vote for #2 without a doubt…good luck whatever you choose.
I love both.. but I say#1, wondering how much light #2 will really give and also, are they easy to maintain? Is that a cloth lamp shade?
#1 – I think it just looks more attractive and will hold up better under bathroom conditions.
I prefer #1 to #2. I also think that #2 would be too high – the shades might be close to the ceiling since your current light fixture is installed fairly high.

hmmmmm……i like them both – is that bad? can't go wrong either.
that should be "with either" 😉
I prefer option #1.
I like #2 – a little unexpected…
I would choose #1. I recently installed Pottery Barn sconces in my own bathroom, and am really happy with the quality. Also, with the Restoration light, I would worry that the bathroom "lint" and grime would stick to the cloth shades and be hard to maintain/clean over time.
I love #1.
I honestly like them both, but the 'ballness' of 1 might go with your chandy better?
I would choose #1. Choice 2 is cute, but I just prefer the first one the best.
Love #1
I really like #1. It's elegant and charming.
#1
I'm sensitive to direct lightbulb light, so I'd worry about both of them glaring in my eyes and giving me migraines.
As far as style goes, definitely number 1. Number 2 looks dated.
Choice #1, all the way. The curvy lines seem like a better fit with the chandy.
They are both great and I would be happy with either in my own home. 🙂 But I lean towards #1.
Number 1. The shades on #2 will get so linty/dusty.
Oooo…I gotta say the PB hotel is stealing my heart…it's going to be so gorgeous in there! And I have to admit that I'm most excited about the chandy makeover…please tell me you're going with color! I *love* that idea! Of course, I don't have to see it day in and day out, so I might be a little gung-ho on the whole color thingy (c:
They're both pretty and timeless, so I don't think you can grow wrong. But I thought the same thing as another commenter — would choice #1 work better considering how high the current light placement is? Just food for thought… 🙂 Happy Wednesday!
I love number 1. I like how the round ball shape mimics the ball on the chandelier. I also prefer the glass over the shades. Number 1 all the way! 🙂
Number 1, I just think number 2 would be a nightmare to keep clean.
Number 1, looks much more modern and classic than number 2.
I like both but am leaning towards #1. It will be fun to see what you decide!
Ah- these choices are so hard! I think I like #2 best, but they are both so pretty! Based on where your current lights are, does that make a difference as to which will fit better, i.e. the lights facing up or down? Make sense?? 🙂
You know I'm really terrible at these choices because I would probably buy both, then see which one I liked in the space better, then return the other one! 🙂 Terrible, I know!
And I do a lot of returning! Ok, sorry for all the comments!!
Number 1 for shiz!!
Cheers

I like #1! Matches your chand nicely without being too matchy. 🙂
Choice number 2 is my fav! It has a updated classic feel. But either one will be beeeyouteefull!
Choice #1. To me, it seems to fit the existing decor better than #2. Also, #2 shades look like typical textured lampshades and it seems to me they would be more difficult to keep clean and would wear out faster.
Keep writing…
Choice #1. The curved lines of it tie in to the chandelier.
Number 1 definitely. the round lines of that fixture match the curves of the chandelier better. #2 is too square.
Choice #1. The curved lines of it tie in to the chandelier.
I'd say #1 – they are both really cute but like others have said #1 will most likely give off more light and will really help both light fixtures in the bathroom stand out. I feel like #2 is a tad too similar to the chandelier and that wouldn't make them stand apart as much.
#1! I like the detail of it, and since you already went with a simpler mirror, I think you need the interest.
I'd have to go with number 2! Both great choices though!
Both are lovely and your taste is beautiful. If you're thinking of staying with this fixture for a few years, think about how the changing lightbulbs (away from incandescent to CFL) might affect the look and function. You might look up and into a strange bulb with the PB ones, but you might not be able to use the shades properly with the RH ones. I have those RH shades on Lugarno fixtures in my master and the shades can be frustratingly crooked no matter how carefully I think I have put them on. Looking forward to your reveal soon! ps Go Irish
