I love the third light, the one you say might not give off enough light. Where is it from? I also think the copper sink works better, picking up the more rustic texture.

I would mix it up, with the brushed nickel and ORB to avoid a too matchy matchy look. I think the vanity looks great, BTW.

Actually, it's the 4th light, and please let me know where it's from!

I know this isn't much help, but I like #1, #2, and #5.
I'm glad to hear you chose the brushed nickel hardware. I'm in the process of painting my bathroom cabinets after seeing yours. I have the brushed nickel faucet, but was wondering if I should change it out for the ORB. The decorating forum suggested I stick with the brushed nickel because it pops more. I wasn't planning on replacing my mirror, but I saw some at Lowes the other day that I just fell in love with. Did you have one of those big mirros that covers the whole wall before? How did you take it down? I can just imagine it being heavier than I can hold and dropping it.

Removing glued on lino is a pain isn't it? We had a small laundry room that DH used my GOOD IRON to soften and remove the backing/glue bit by bit! I would suggest buying a used iron, but it seemed to do the trick.

I personally love copper, but think it may be too dark in there- and then you would have brushed nickel hardware, copper sink, ORB mirror and switches, and what kind of faucets? I think the lighting should come last (there are SO many choices available in lighting), cuz you want it to coordinate with your sink and countertop choices and your mirror.

OK- now I'm officially confused- you had said you doing a chocolate brown tile floor and then you said your countertops were going to a light tile to coordinate with floor. So my above concerns were with copper going in with everything else already dark.

I think you perhaps love too many things (I can identify) and are trying to cram too many of them into one space? Perhaps go back to the drawing board a bit, and find pics of spaces that you love, and see what is working there. I think copper, brushed nickel and ORB is too many different finishes in one small space.

Sossh, thanks for the help. I was out of town for the holidays and couldn't respond but here is the link to the lighting. I have never ordered from this company but the prices are great. http://www.lightingdirect.com/index.cfm/page/product:display/productId/ML%206733/manufacturer/Minka%20Lavery/categoryId/1785/finish/Lathan%20Bronze

Msrose, I am so flattered that you used me as inspiration. A first for me. Thanks! I love the way the brushed nickel pops against the dark vanity. Yes, I have one of the long mirrors and since I don't plan on keeping it, I am going to tape it up as much as possible and break it to remove it. At least that is what dh says he is going to do. It is much to heavy for me to remove. I will let you know how it goes.

Raehelen, thanks for your help as well. I do tend to love too many things but I was thinking the copper being the darker finish rather than bright copper would look similar to the orb and therefore work. Maybe not. As for the floor tile it is dark brown but is too large for the countertop and doesn't come in a smaller size. I want to use a lighter tile anyway since the vanity is so dark. We will buy enough of the vanity tile to tile around our tub/shower in the future so it has to blend/go with the floor well. As for the lighting, I wanted to order it now so that dh can install it asap. We have company coming Christmas and I wanted this room finished with the exception of the tub surround.

Oh, can you explain the iron technique? I have an old iron that I use for batik art which used wax so it shouldn't hurt it and even if it does, it is worth it. LOL. I am just not sure how you did it. Care to explain?

I bought from lighting direct - they had a photo of their product, and a photo where they compared the price to a more expensive source photo. Well, in that case I really got what I paid for. cloudy glass, not finished on the edge (rough cut with chips and bubbles in the glass). The glass was so fragile I broke one getting it out of the box. And the shade had no way to fit firmly on the cord. So, 4 pendant lights in a box I will probably put in a garage sale. buyer beware.

One thing you might consider is a "silver etched" copper sink. The silver etching (many designs are available) would tie in the brushed nickel with the darker copper finish and the darker chocolate tones. I have linked to one that is in the "Cafe Natural" finish, but I know you can get this in "Dark Smoke" with the rolled rim (it shows it as "in stock").

...just a thought...

Here is a link that might be useful: silver etched copper sink

On your possible light fixture choice, you might consider cleaning ease and use a fixture where the open ends of the glass globes faces down. The other way, with open ends up, the globes have to come off for cleaning the insides of stray bugs, bathroom fog or hairspray drift that inevitably lands everywhere.

I just have to say I love those mirrors! Would you be willing to share the source?
Thanks!

THanks everyone for their advice. The mirror came from Hobby Lobby and is $99 regular price.
