I'm actually trying to find a nickel finish bathroom wall light (eg not brushed stainless steel or chrome passed off as nickel). Any chance you can tell us where you got you light so I can take a look?

Hi caroln

we are talking about taste really and what one person likes, someone else might not. Colour in decoration is a minefield, just watch the so called experts on the television.

The earth tones are pretty inoffensive, no one would use your bathroom and say 'love the earth tones.'  The choice has to be yours.

Can you not take the light to the tile shop and hold it against the tiles, or get a couple of sample tiles to bring home and put in the bathroom.

Personally I think the earth tones in bathrooms are a little bit passe now. There are a couple of tilers on here who would know what is popular in bathrooms at the moment, let's hope they will see your post.

Don't rush into it though, it's not like wallpaper, your going to have it for years.

Since I bought the light at Lowe's Home Improvement store, I can actually just carry a few tiles from that department over to the lighting section and see how they look together...good idea!  But I'm still on the fence about what style vanity.  I definitely will be taking my time on this...it will probably take me months just figure out the color scheme and style.

Earth tones are no longer in style?  I've seen a lot of that new colored glass being used on TV lately, but that stuff is very expensive!

Thanks to all for your thoughts!
