Bathroom Lighting

Getting to choose all new lighting and fixtures for a bathroom sounds dreamy.  In reality, it can be really hard to find just what you want in your budget.  With our new bathroom renovation, I'm having a bit of trouble settling on a style.  Do I want it to be upscale and elegant or more vintage and cozy? 


In terms of the first option, I like this chandelier: http://www.houzz.com/photos/6285846/French-Empire-Crystal-chandelier-Lighting-traditional-chandeliers with these sconces:  http://www.houzz.com/photos/6017156/Reed-Single-Sconce-traditional-wall-sconces


The chandelier is a good price, the sconces are pricey.  Kind of balances out, right?


Restoration Hardware has another couple options: http://www.restorationhardware.com/catalog/product/product.jsp?productId=prod3190567&categoryId=cat1701021


Or http://www.restorationhardware.com/catalog/product/product.jsp?productId=prod3110087&categoryId=cat1701021


In the direction of vintage and cozy, I like these sconces from Schoolhouse Electric Co.:  http://www.schoolhouseelectric.com/lighting/wall-sconce-fixtures/truman-white.html

Headboard/Footboard

I found this photo of actress Christa Miller in House Beautiful magazine.  She's leaning against the footboard of her bed.  I have to say, I love the tufted look, but I'm even more in love with the idea of the wrap-around "couch-like" affect that this bed has.  In the article, she says that the bed is custom made and that the headboard is similar to the footboard, but taller.  I can just imagine the whole family sitting around in this bed, reading and relaxing!

This is the only other bed I've been able to find online that is even a little similar.  Unfortunately, it was on someone's blog and they didn't cite the source!  I'll have to keep looking!

Could be pretty for the master bathroom:

Peacock Window Possibility

This is another possibility for the peacock window.  It adds "eyes" (circles with dots) to the outer layer and has dots that represent eyes, in two, staggered layers, towards the inside of the design.  This design would necessitate going to either 9 or 11 "feathers" so that the staggered eyes could start/end on the same size.

I'm open to other possibilities.  I am hoping for a design that evokes a peacock without saying "wow, that looks like a drawing of a peacock."  While I don't want it to be too realistic, it also shouldn't be so abstract that no one realizes that it is supposed to represent a peacock.

Bathroom Walls

I'm wondering if we can save the current built-in unit that is in the den.  Could it be reused in the bathroom (painted white?)  Also, could we remove the paneling and use it as wainscoting?  My only concern about wall materials in the bathroom is around the shower and toilet, which should both be tiled.  The shower is obvious.  The toilet--that's just to do with having little boys who aren't too accurate at the bathroom.  Let's talk this over.
