It’s week three of the Fall 2018 One Room Challenge! Be sure to check out week one for the before photos and week two for the paint I decided on. This week I want to talk about lighting. I knew from the get go that I wanted to replace the vanity light with a brass fixture. Whatever fixture I decided also needed to be within my shoestring budget. Enter the world of Amazon. I initially ordered this single light sconce and quickly installed it in the freshly painted bathroom. Rookie mistake. Swapping out a double sconce for a single sconce was not the brightest decision.
I returned to Amazon to find another light, this time narrowing my search down to only double sconces. I landed on the following four styles.
Clockwise from top right: 1 | 2 | 3
Now, here’s the deal: I love the vintage look of one and three and am inclined to go for a more modern vintage feel in the bathroom (thanks to the mirror). BUT, I also love the more modern sconce (two). I am, however, worried it will clash with the art deco-ish mirror. I am also debating if I should still with brass (uh, duh) or play it safe with black.
Help! What do you think?

I love brass, so that gets my vote! Honestly, though, you can’t go wrong with any of your choices.
Brass definitely has my heart, too.
Liking #2
Same! But the brass is now sold out on Amazon – nooo!
