Get it Here

Hopefully, there’s something for everyone here. Some things to remember are:

• You CAN mix metals. Two are very safe. Three can be more tricky but doable. In my bathroom, I have antique brass, polished nickel and champagne bronze. It works because the polished nickel is in only two places – the faucet and in a small part of the light over my medicine cabinet. When in doubt, up to two different metals work well together.

• Don’t forget to look at places other than lighting stores like Etsy, Facebook Marketplace, etc. You can get some great deals there and find more interesting fixtures!

  Good luck!
