Sussex Double Tube Sconce

I'm a bargain shopper; I dislike paying full price for anything (well, almost anything).  So when searching for new lighting for the bathroom, my champagne taste on a beer budget kept getting in the way!  I came across Pottery Barn's Sussex Double Tube Sconce and immediately fell in love.  Unfortunately the sconce is priced at $189.00 plus $21 shipping.  That is more than our vanity and medicine cabinet combined.  I decided to Google “double tube sconce” in hopes that I would find a similar, less expensive one.  To my surprise I came across the exact Pottery Barn sconce on Ebay (Market For Quality Living) for $99 with free expedited shipping. It arrived yesterday and I can't wait to install it!

Inspiration Board: Bathroom

2011 is only a day away and my list of things to do in the new year is so long that I actually have a folder instead of a list! Half of my things-to-do folder thankfully includes the help of my hubby (he has his own folder too), who has taken on being a new homeowner with complete gusto; he's fixing, landscaping and building things on a daily basis, but one of the projects I have taken on all by myself is the bathroom. Our one and only bathroom is “nice”, well if you think bamboo blinds as wall paper is nice (we don't) and our vanity is so big that you can actually brush your teeth over the sink while standing in the shower (there is only a ½ inch space between the tub and vanity). I've started putting together all my ideas for our bathroom and here is my very first attempt at an Inspiration Board!
