Bathroom vanity overhead light: I'm a bit stuck here

Option A: get a smaller version of schoolhouse lights from kitchen. Not sure that schoolhouse lights seem like a good fit for the bathroom though

Option B: same line as the sconces. Seems like a variation on the boob light, not sure I like it

Final question: what finishes to pick? I like things eclectic, so mismatchy is fine. Faucets will be chrome and appliances stainless steel. I'm thinking ORB or black for the kitchen hardware to go with the black countertops. In the kitchen, would you continue the ORB in the light fixtures or chrome to match the faucets? Or some combination?

In the bathroom, I'm thinking something shinier, either chrome or brushed nickel. Though I realize I posted everything in bronze.

Thanks in advance if you are kind enough to read through all this!

Definitely ORB. Chrome can work in the bathrooms.

Love your schoolhouse lights, but can't say I love the choices for over the bar. They look too contemporary. I do like option A for the sconces as it's very craftsman.

For the bathroom, have you looked at some that are more period appropriate? Maybe something like this?

In my old house, I had a fixture in my bathroom that was original and very similar looking to that one.

BTW: If you haven't looked already, I'd look at Arroyo Craftsman lighting.

Thanks for the input!

I like the stuff from Arroyo Craftsman, but I don't see that anything is Title 24 compliant--which is odd since they seem to be located in California, so maybe I'm missing something. Rejuvenation and Schoolhouse Electric do have GU24 options.

The Berkley fixture is cool, but I'd like to stay under $200 per fixture, especially since that bathroom vanity overhead location won't be very visible.

I see fixtures similar to the kitchen pendant option A and bathroom overhead option D on Rejuvenation--though no idea if they're truly period or what period!

Moreland flush mount This one is more attractive than the Progress Lighting one I posted above and is on sale...maybe I should get this one instead.

Hi caligirl5, just mentioning this in case you might like to expand your search options. We also are in California. We purchased our fixtures through a local lighting/electrical store and they re-lamped any non-compliant fixtures to GU24 base (for a small per-socket fee). This particular store also would match internet pricing if they were not already lower, and with the contractor discount they ended up being quite a bit lower. Don't know whether or not something like this would work in your particular situation.

Good luck!

Title 24 means the light fixtures have to be energy efficient; GU24 base only allows energy efficient bulbs. So there won't be much light bulb changing here!

I would love to buy antique fixtures...searching them online, I don't think it's in the budget, and unfortunately I don't have the time to bargain shop. I was glad I did the search though! it gave me some other ideas.

Focusing on pendants:

This one is Rejuvenation and very similar to a 1915 antique version they're selling (I could afford that one, but I need a pair!). This is the burnished antique color, though there's ORB and all other options.

I hadn't been looking at Tiffany glass, but I like the idea of adding some color. These come in LED (though for some reason not title 24 compliant), but I could get them rewired for GU24 per Oaktown's suggestion:

Hi caligirl5 re compliance maybe you could ask your contractor if you are using one? We were told the inspectors for our area would pass fixtures with an integral LED driver, they are not bothering to check the official list. Where we are they just don't want to see a screw base or removable adapter. The integral LEDs are almost certainly going to be more efficient :-). When I mentioned the re-lamping of fixtures to GU24 those were all originally E26 screw bases. Not sure about rewiring items with different size bases.

I mentioned this because I spent way too many hours searching online for compliant fixtures without finding what I wanted. It looks like there are a great many more options now, though, lucky you! Really like the Rejuvenation fixtures.

I stayed up past midnight looking at antique fixtures---so beautiful! I found a local antique lighting store open Wed-Sun, so I might check that out later this week.

I'm leaning towards the Rejuvenation pendants above with the chain and ribbed glass shade.

For the bathroom, I was looking at these fixtures, 2 different shades:

I'm leaning towards the mission tear-drop shade. I could use a similar shade for the sconces in the kitchen, to help keep things cohesive. I'm fine with mismatchy, but don't want it to look like each fixture was picked at random!

Thanks for the tips! I need to start ordering stuff so I don't change my mind! Am thinking again about the low-profile fixture for the bathroom overhead--something invisible with good light..

For the kitchen: I went to the Rejuvenation store to look at the finishes today. I thought I'd get something in burnished antique, but I didn't love it in person. I was surprised by how much I liked the antique copper though! ORB is fine, just a bit safer choice.

Here's an example of the antique copper, though I would do the mission-style sconce above. I like the distressing, which ORB doesn't have, and it still seems very neutral (not too orange):

Do you think the antique copper goes with the kitchen inspiration above? I was thinking about doing antique copper for the pendants (and maybe sconces too) and keeping the overhead schoolhouse lights as ORB.

I'm not helpful in this area, but just wanted to say I'm SUPER excited for you! You've thoughtfully considered and planned this reno for quite a while and I'm happy that you're at this (pretty) stage of the project :-)

Love the copper

You guys are awesome! Ordering today!
