New Lights for the Boys’ Bathroom!
Hey friends! I hope you are having a great week! We have been super busy around here! Not only are we enjoying time with our little girl, but we are preparing for a very special audition that Jonathan has this weekend!! (Can’t give any details right now, but I will share with you as soon as I can.) ACK! :)
Did I mention Jonathan turned 16 this past Sunday! Oh my gosh!!! Where has the time gone?!!!
Follow me on Instagram for more family pics!
I wanted to share with you the new light fixtures that we added to the boys’ bathroom vanities!
As you can see in the picture above, we had a wall plate above the mirror that covered the space that we eventually wanted to hang a light. However, it takes me foooooorrrrrreeeeevvvvveeeeerrrr to pick lights out. It drives the hubster crazy. I actually kind of drive myself crazy!
But I finally found some lights that I LOVE!
I found them at Del Mar Fans & Lighting. It is called the Hinkley Congress Wall Sconce.
There are many more beautiful Hinkley lights on their website to choose from, but I thought the “cage” look was boyish, and I thought the chrome would look good with the chrome vanity fixtures.
I photoshopped the light into a picture of the boys’ bathroom to see if I would like it, and I did.
When the lights arrived, Cy helped me install them. We added a 1 inch thick piece of wood to the wall behind the fixture to help the light stick out a little bit further since our mirror had a “lip” on it.
They were super easy to install. We bought some vintage light bulbs at Lowe’s to use in the fixtures. (I didn’t like that the glass on the bulbs was tinted yellow so I will probably try to buy some clear glass ones later.)
I painted the piece of wood behind the lights the same color white as the wall treatment in the bathroom.
I am super excited with the way they look!
They look great over both of the boys’ vanities!
I like that they are not super noticeable because they would have not looked good by the dark mirror frame if they were. I like how they blend nicely with the rest of the decor.
It’s a little change, but it makes a big difference!

They are perfect! I was excited to see what you chose…perfection!
They really are perfect and I agree the mirror really needs the focal point but the lights add a ton! Love love love!!!
The yellow tint to the light bulbs really doesn’t look bad in the photo — kinda’ coordinates with the tone of the countertops. Maybe not so much in person???
Aaahhh, one of my favorite bathrooms EVA! Love the light fixtures. AND everything. :)
Can you please tell me the name of the red paint color? Love it!
I “think” I used the quart size of Rustoleum in “regal red.”
