Lighting for a Retro Masculine Master Bathroom


We think we have selected the vanity for the Retro Masculine bathroom. Now we are trying to narrow down lighting. I always love Restoration Hardware's lighting and price point. They have also started to sell nice looking recessed medicine cabinets. I LOVE my Robern medicine cabinet (a Kohler company), so I will have to see how Restoration's cabinets compare in person. Here are our lighting options.

Nolan Single Sconce by Restoration Hardware

Here's how the Nolan Single Sconce would look three across. I think this is perfect for a husband and wife who do not want to share a sink or medicine cabinet. I personally like my medicine cabinet crazy organized and know that sharing one with my husband would drive me bonkers.Nolan Single Sconce | Bath Sconces | Restoration Hardware

Ocean Boulevard

It's spring break and we are heading to our beach house in Dewey Beach, DE for a long weekend. My trips to the beach are never complete for me without stopping at one of my favorite stores - Ocean Boulevard. Here are some inspiring images from their shop. They carry Mitchell Gold, Company C, Four Hands, Stray Dog along with some other lesser known lines of accessories.



What a great way to add character to a bland space.

Love the shark, it's a stone of some sort I think.


These would look so great in my living room to match my new persimmon pillows.

These dried flower arrangements were so interesting.

Endless Summer Hydrangea

This great weather has me itching to begin revamping our landscape. I would love to plant more of these hydrangeas to continue down the driveway. Endless Summer Hydrangea - Buy Hydrangeas

Retro Masculine Master Bathroom

When beginning any renovation, I find the hardest decision is always selecting the first piece that sets the tone for the whole room. In a bathroom, it is usually the vanity or tile. In this bath design, I am striving for a clean masculine feel with plenty of storage. Here are some vanity options we are considering. Once we lock in the vanity, I can search for the coordinating items.

Latest Etsy Obsession - Devon Baer Designs

If you have not been on Etsy yet, you are missing out. I just love the notion of a website enabling home-grown businesses to sell their wares at a low cost - keeping creative people in business in this tough economy.

Here is one of my favorite Etsy sellers, Devon Baer. I am lusting after these pants! The price of $218 is slightly high for me, but I can still swoon over them. Move over Tory Burch!
