Yep. I replaced all the lights in all 5 of our bathrooms. Several of the bathrooms had those ugly round bulb lights in the bathroom.
I replaced all of them with some really nice looking lights from Restoration Hardware. The lighting that I picked out wasn’t cheap. But they look beautiful. It made a big difference.
As far as the lighting, some of them aren’t as bright as the old lighting but it’s more than bright enough. Just pay attention to the wattage of the bulbs. Some are much better than others.
I had a professional electrician come out and change all of the lighting. The one thing that sucked is in 3 of the bathrooms, it wasn’t painted under the frame of the lighting so I had to also repaint the bathrooms. I was crossing my fingers hoping that it was painted underneath but no such luck. The previous owner was the original owner and didn’t change out much of anything so it’s been a busy time of upgrading all the lighting in the house and installing ceiling lights.
I was surprised moving out to San Diego that many of the houses that we saw (even on million dollar houses) didn’t have ceiling lights in the bedroom. Lots of lamps. I saw more of that in San Diego vs. most cities I’ve been to. So we had to get ceiling lights installed in all of the upstairs bedrooms.
But it was a worthwhile investment as it really changed the look of the bathroom. We have since gotten the countertops all upgraded to marble and it looks so great we decided to change out all the flooring to the same Carrera marble on all the flooring. Looks incredible.
