Powder Room Options

I thought  I'd posted these earlier, but I was mistaken.  Our new powder room is going to be stylish!  Designer Extraordinaire, Melissa Chernick from Commonwealth found this really nifty mirror below, and we are sort of building the decor of the tiny powder room around it.  
 
What do you think?  We thought the circles on the frame went well with the curves that Susan Pierce built into the design in the new space
Below, are the four lighting choices that Melissa gave us for the space.

Option #1 - We liked this and thought it was cool, funky and contemporary, but when we saw the elevations below it looked dinky next to the mirror, same with option #4.

Option #2 - We loved these, and thought they would look great with the mirror.  We also thought it would complement the vaguely Asian, simple lines of the vanity we chose.


Option #3 - These looked too much like bowling pins four our taste.

Option #4 -We liked the whimsy of this optioin, but were concerned it was too small and wouldn't produce enough light.



The elevations below showed us where they would hang relative to the the mirror.  We thought Option #2 looked the best.  Click the pic below to enlarge it, it's easier to view.

We chose a vanity that is dark brown wood, the sink is a solid porceline piece that sits on top, and the fixtures are the 'waterfall' variety that are really popular now (which means in 10 years people will wash their hands and think, "Wow, is that 2009 or WHAT??!!!"  

S'all for now!
