I love chandeliers in the bathroom! How 'bout black crystal/candle/curly? Or brushed silver/pewter? here are some things from Thefind.com, a great source for EVERYTHING at every price point! They're not the right size and I have no idea what your price range is, but just some ideas to start you thinking.

Those are great - I will check out that website - the counters/floor/cabinets are all shades of brown, so I think the brushed silver/pewter is more the way to go. I like the shade/chandelier combo look :)

Possini Euro Deco Nickel 24 3/4" wide - Found it on www.lampsplus.com

Beautiful and about the right size - and Yes, it's nickel not chrome.

How deep is your tub area? That would dictate what size fixture would work best. If the wall is 11 ft long, by lets say, 9ft, then a 20" would be the best size to use. I am a big fan of Circa lighting for something a bit more traditional...although Restoration Hardware has a couple of beauties! Sorry, but I don't care for the Possini light above. It looks dime-a-dozen! While you are in the planning/construction phase, consider installing a couple of canister lights with an "eyeball" so that you can direct the light to shoot through the new fixture to really make the crystal sparkle!!

It is important to remember that the bottom of the chandelier has to be 8 feet from the rim of the tub, so with an 11 foot ceiling, you really don't have much room. Depending on the height of the tub (maybe 2 feet), you may only have about 1 foot of play. You may want to consider adding recessed lights or a semi flush mount style light.

I think 8 ft is too high!! 6 to 6 1/2 feet from the floor should be plenty if it is just a soaking tub without a shower head!

When measuring for a table you use half the table width for the chandy, so you could measure the width of the tub and go half or get one that measures one window width or less and hang it (if there is no shower) just 6" above the head of the tallest user of the tub when they are standing in it without shoes. Don't worry about the not matching the metals - not much of an issue these days.

I had the same issue in my kitchen and found this one on e bay new has all color crystals as accents the was good

You better check on the electrical code with this install. Your city inspector will have a strong opinion on how this can or if it can be done....

Some chandeliers use the metal in the unit as a neutral connection. I have witnessed first hand the effects of a mis wire and in your install someone could die if things are not done right.

Check the local code and at the very least have the light fixture protected by a ground fault breaker.

If you can stand up in the tub or on the surround of the tub to change the light bulbs then you have it too low, the inspector won't allow it....definitely check with your local building inspector for the code in your city! Having said that Kichler.com and artcraftlighting.com have great polished nickel and chrome finished mini chandeliers
