Happy Thursday morning. Excited to be here with chapter 12 of the Bluff Diaries and really happy to tell you that things are really<\/em> starting to\u00a0 happen. It is finally looking like a real house and it is thrilling!<\/p>\n

Lots of recent pics to share with you and then we will talk about today’s subject, bathroom lighting as an extension of last weeks post on flooring. This is the first time you are seeing the actual house, and it is incredibly exciting.<\/p>\n

Some have asked who we are using for architect\/builder and I must say I am really delighted with our experience with both our architect and builder. I have wanted to share them with you but was waiting until things were further along. The info is-<\/p>\n

Builder- Nathan Cameron (click here to contact)<\/em><\/a><\/h2>\n

Architect- Court Atkins (click here to contact)<\/em><\/a><\/h2>\n

Nathan is what is referred to as a boutique builder, at any given time he takes on no more than about 4-8 houses and gets very personal with each building experience. I love that he is so into the details and sends us extensive weekly updates, there is a reason he is considered to be one of the most popular builders in The Bluff. He and his company has been a total pleasure to deal with. Our engines are just revving up but he has stayed right on schedule to the day, impressive in this world!<\/p>\n

For our architect we used Court Atkins, they seem to be by far the most popular architect there and rightfully so. They were fantastic even from afar and with only two visits at executing exactly what we wanted, a pleasure to deal with and get this- they actually met almost every deadline! That is saying something in today’s world.<\/p>\n

I must say they have been a dream team, and any reservations I had about doing this from afar quickly vanished when I saw what good\/capable hands I am in…thanks guys!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And now onto today’s post….<\/p>\n

Bathroom lighting, it is often the finishing touch for a bathroom and with today’s vast array of choices, it can make a real statement. My taste honestly has not wavered much over the last 10 or so years however in this house, we are going a bit more transitional and less formal than our house here in NY.<\/p>\n

MASTER BATHS- I love sconce lighting, I could live with sconces only…the lighting they give is so beautiful day or night. In my bathroom I will have at least a pair possibly two. As I am going with a more transitional look, the lighting will follow suit.<\/p>\n

I will have a chandelier\/lantern and may be putting in one of my bell jars which would work very nicely there. For the sconces, love each of these equally and will likely put a pair for myself and a pair for my husbands bath. These are from a company I do a lot of business with, the quality is bar none.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Isn’t this so gorgeous? I feel it is a little bit more masculine so this could work beautifully for my husbands bath<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

This feels a little more delicate could work well for mine or the powder room<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

The square version<\/p>\n

For the chandelier I am leaning towards one of the belljars from my shop but if I were to go another route these would be some contenders-<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

Most likely I will go with one of my wonderful belljars, not a bad one in the bunch but I would likely go with one\u00a0 of the simpler styles.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\" \"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

This below would work well for my husbands bath, elegant and handsome<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

GUEST\/KIDS BATHS- For the other bathrooms I will go with a simple polished nickel style and vary them in each bathroom. Something along this line-<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

POWDER ROOM- For powder room I like the idea of doing something a little dressier\/stepping it up a bit….<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Call me crazy but I ordered a pair of these as they were only $146!!! Click here to see<\/em><\/a>, how could I pass them up. I know I will use them somewhere<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Wow this has me excited over all of the beautiful lighting choices, so many pretty classically beautiful things to choose from. This is when it’s going to get fun and at the rate we are going, we will be at this stage before we know it. So…how about you? Anything here excite you? We are going for a cleaner, transitional look and I think we are well on the way.<\/p>\n

Thank you for stopping by, wishing you a wonderful day and hope it’s feeling like spring wherever you might be, over here it still feels very much like winter! Until next time…<\/p>\n
