I’m thinking porcelain. One (or two) of these options, maybe?
- Truman, Schoolhouse Electric (available in black or white)
- Rufus, Rejuvenation (available in black, white, or green)
- Selma, Rejuvenation (available in black, white, or green)
- Alabax Surface, Schoolhouse Electric (available in black or white)

Kris Mays
December 13, 2010 at 11:01 amI LOVE the green one.

December 13, 2010 at 11:05 amI vote #4!!!
Allison
December 13, 2010 at 11:09 amI love the retro look of #3. #1 and #2 look quite plastic and cheap, though maybe they’re better in person? #4 just makes me think of an upside down coffee filter holder!

December 13, 2010 at 11:12 amI love number 3! Actual heart felt love!
Diana Smith
December 13, 2010 at 11:12 am#3…green is very pretty!
Jillian
December 13, 2010 at 11:18 amI used #2 in my powder room and a coordinating ceiling fixture in the adjacent mudroom. They both made me so happy every time I looked at them. I purchased fixtures from Rejuvenation for my living room, entry, stairway and upstairs hall as well, and they were all gorgeous. You won’t be disappointed no matter which one you go with, but my vote is for #3.

December 13, 2010 at 11:22 amI love both 3 & 4!
Jules
December 13, 2010 at 11:23 amI’m assuming you’re going for #4 plus a wall sconce? I don’t love any of them, but I’m sure it’s the picture/context (I always expect mid century from you). Schoolhouse Electric and Rejuvenation are both excellent companies–anything from there will look great! :)

December 13, 2010 at 11:25 amI love mid-century, but not for lighting. Other than a sputnik fixture, but there’s no way I’d have space in the little half-bath.
Jules
December 13, 2010 at 3:10 pmI have an original quasi-sputnik in my entry way. It’s so small, I guess it’s more like a sputter.
Jill
December 13, 2010 at 11:26 amI have a fixture from Schoolhouse Electric that I LOVE. They’re a great company to work with! All look like great options though for sure!

December 13, 2010 at 11:34 amI love the industrial look of all of these. I’m really drawn to #3 :)
Jen K
December 13, 2010 at 11:35 amI vote for 1 or 4!
Allison
December 13, 2010 at 11:44 amI’m going to be honest and say I strongly DISLIKE #1, but I LOVE 2 & 3. 4’s not bad, but it doesnt make my heart skip a beat. I think 1 kind of looks like a contractor special for an industrial building. Kinda cheap.
Cant wait to see the finished outcome!
Emily
December 13, 2010 at 11:44 amI used to live in a 1920s Tudor cottage-style home that had a vintage [original to the house, I’m sure] light fixture above the sink eerily similar to Selma. I LOVED it. That’s where my vote is going!

December 13, 2010 at 11:52 ami adore 3, but 4 would be amazing in my own home!

December 13, 2010 at 12:03 pm#4 with every fiber if my being.

I am way more sure of #4 than I am of my own spelling!
Jenn L @ Peas and Crayons
December 13, 2010 at 12:04 pm#3 all the way =)
Breenah
December 13, 2010 at 12:06 pmI like two and four. But I also love black and white everything.
Tarcia
December 13, 2010 at 12:06 pmI like #3.
Noni
December 13, 2010 at 12:10 pmLove #3 (it’s darling), but I had to laugh out loud at the description (“…due partly to their low cost…”) and the price they’re offering for it ($100). Or, perhaps, this is a parallel universe type situation and $100 for a machine-cast fixture really is “low cost”.
liz @ btb
December 13, 2010 at 12:15 pm# 1 or # 3!!
April
December 13, 2010 at 12:25 pmI like #4!!
Kellie
December 13, 2010 at 12:45 pmI love #3 but that could be because I have one myself although mine is a vintage one I found for $4 :)
Danielle@Newlyweds Paradise
December 13, 2010 at 12:49 pmHmmm…they all are cute in their own way. I think it’s hard to pick my favorite without knowing what you are doing in the bathroom.
Cheyenne
December 13, 2010 at 1:04 pmTough choice…could totally see #3 for you but, I like #2 so, that’s my vote. #2!
Joy
December 13, 2010 at 1:09 pmI have #2 is my bathroom. We redid the bathroom of our 1921 bungalow that had previously been remodeled in the 80s. I love the fixture, but it is a bit smaller than I imagined and rather understated as a result. In hindsight, I wish I had gone with two of the single-bulbed fixtures, like #3, one on each side of the medicine cabinet.
amy
December 13, 2010 at 1:11 pmlove #3, but the only one i don’t like is #4. like the bulb, don’t care for the fixture.

December 13, 2010 at 1:20 pmI’d buy #3, myself! Lovely!
becah
December 13, 2010 at 1:35 pmI’m about to put #2 & #3 in my new bathroom, I think they’re both gorgeous! I’ve never been disappointed with anything from Rejuvenation (and have forked over a small fortune to them over the years). I think the green porcelain is lovely, but I decided to hold back and keep all the permanent fixtures in the bath black and white so I will forever have flexibility with color in there. You can’t go wrong with a deco bathroom!
Nolita Morgan
December 13, 2010 at 1:55 pmReally like #3!!
Adrienne
December 13, 2010 at 2:46 pmI asked for #2 for Christmas. I also want the matching switchplate and towel hooks. :)
Theresa
December 13, 2010 at 2:51 pmI think #1 looks like an awful hotel hallway sconce; #3 is definitely my pick!
Lisa
December 13, 2010 at 2:53 pmi’m really liking 3 and 4.
Suzanna
December 13, 2010 at 2:56 pmI love the green one!! #3! :)
Carole
December 13, 2010 at 3:02 pm#2 is my fav, but not in black–maybe in green?
Christine
December 13, 2010 at 3:21 pmooo! I love the retro feel of all these, especially #2 and #4.
CostumeDiva
December 13, 2010 at 4:12 pmI really like 3 and 4 but in white. I always think white is best for a bathroom, then you’re never stuck with a color scheme.
Monica
December 13, 2010 at 4:46 pm#4 has my vote.

December 13, 2010 at 5:07 pmI vote for #4!
Christine
December 13, 2010 at 5:32 pmHi! I’m a longtime reader of your blog. I’m doing some online Christmas shopping, and I thought you’d like this. It’s not pink, but….
I still think it’s cute
:)

December 13, 2010 at 5:49 pm#3 – most definitely. Thanks for the links – I’m all about home improvement these days
monique
December 13, 2010 at 7:17 pmI adore the Selma (the jade one).
Jane
December 13, 2010 at 7:50 pmLOVE number 3. And I meant to say last week how excited I am about the spring Pantone colors. Gorgeous!
Shoshana
December 13, 2010 at 10:10 pmI vote for #2 because #4 looks trendy to me and I fear that means it could look dated later on.
misshotcakes
December 13, 2010 at 10:12 pmthere are already so many votes, but I’d say 2 or 3, depending on if you want color or not on your fixture! those two are amazing! :) I can’t wait to see the finished product!
Esther
December 13, 2010 at 10:30 pmLOVE number 3 but it may just be the sexy green that is swaying me. No, I’ve thought about it seriously and it is number 3
Kristin
December 13, 2010 at 10:42 pmI like #2, the style is great!

December 14, 2010 at 11:19 amI love #3 and my husband nickname is the name of the #1, I can’t decide!!
Niki
December 14, 2010 at 11:26 amIn love with option #1. Close second is option #3.
Amanda Fellers
December 14, 2010 at 11:57 am#3!
Kelly
December 14, 2010 at 12:01 pmI really like #1, but agree with niki, #3 is a close second.
also, when we were looking for wall-mounted lighting options for our place, we ended up finding a really great one at a local architectural salvage shop.
nanne
December 14, 2010 at 4:18 pmi love the green one!
Amanda
December 14, 2010 at 5:07 pmI think #4 is really fun!
Andrea
December 15, 2010 at 3:32 pmI think #2 is fantastic! Btw, #2 & #3 are available in green, black or white porcelain! (I work for Rejuvenation!) #1 is really cute too but I don’t think #4 is very bathroom appropriate.
KrabbyKasey
December 15, 2010 at 4:04 pmI vote for #3
Ana
December 15, 2010 at 4:31 pmI’d go with #2 because it takes 2 bulbs and will give you more light, which will be important in a small basement bathroom. But if you have space, then using a pair of either #1 or #3 on either side of a mirror would look really good (like in DoorSixteen’s bathroom).
I have the same shortlist of bathroom lighting options for my upcoming remodel, but unfortunately the space is too tight to get a pair of sconces in. Allow me to live vicariously through you. :)
Wendy
December 18, 2010 at 9:57 amdefinitely go with an uplight
