Bathroom ideas

Thanks for the opinions I got on the colors.  We're doing Stone House in the Kitchen, Alaskan Skies in the Family Room, and the Blue in the dining room.  I want to do something bold in the powder room, so I started looking (again) for some inspiration pics. I found some dark bathrooms (1st is from bossycolorblog it's BM Graphite)
Keeping with a dark powder room, with a bow, it makes your day feel fancier.

 

I might just go a tad lighter with Revere Pewter, people rave about this color online and I think it'll give the warmth and clean lines I want, with a little less drama than the graphite. 



I will definitely do the graphite in the basement bathroom once we build our movie theater, but I am going to go a little safer right now.

We finally finished shopping for fixtures!

We ordered most of our fixtures from Lightingdirect.com, but for the exterior ones, we just went down to the local Home Depot.  We decided to get a lamppost outside and the post comes with an outlet (for Christmas Lights or tools) and a sensor that turns the lights on from dusk to dawn.  Hampton Bay Aged Iron Post Lantern Y37031-151 The lights that will frame the front door will be the same style.  I think they're so cute!  We also got outdoor motion lights for the front and regular spots for the back.  No pics of those, because they're your typical spot lights, nothing special. Hampton Bay Aged Iron Wall Lantern Y37029-151 We also received our shipment with the ceiling fan and the closet lights.  The closet lights we got for $8 each!  They have 2 bulbs so they'll give plenty of light.  In order to get them so cheap, we had to be flexible on the color.  They're "Copper Revival" which is actually a little more copper penny colored than...
