New Bathroom Light!

We have wanted to replace the light fixture in the bathroom for some time now, but not bad enough to go out and buy one...it just a light and this one was working just fine.  We had a storage building here in town and a couple of weekends back we decided to take everything out of storage and find a place for it here or get rid of it (I'm all for the getting rid of it part).  We are always looking for ways to save some money and the storage building was a easy decision.  Anyways, we found a light fixture that we were going to use for the closet but chose not to because we thought it hung down to low for a closet, so we decided to use it for the bathroom and get that new light we wanted.


As you can see the light is not centered in the room and it hangs right over the sink. It's almost as if it's a wall light more than a main light source, but it is the only light in the room.



The new light is now centered in the room and has 3 bulbs opposed to the old fixture which had only one.  It's much brighter in the room now, but it's going to take some time getting use to the light source coming from behind us, instead of right above us.  I should say it's going to take Tara some time, she's the one who uses it for her makeup.  Installing this new light was not a snap for me.  For a brief moment (when I say brief moment, I mean a couple of hours), I forgot how electricity works and had a problem rewiring the fixture.  Finally I thought about what I was trying to do and how it has to be done and wired it up right and now it works perfect.

  1. I can't believe you forgot how electricity works. That should have been drilled into your brain ;)
