When I originally designed the bathroom, I kind of ignored the fact that not all brass finishes are created equal. Maybe I was hopeful it would all just go together… but it’s kid of a small space which means mis-matched brass finishes would definitely be noticed. Turns out our sconces didn’t match the mirror I had purchased, and the sunburst brackets I was dying to use also didn’t match the sconces. Light fixtures are kind of a more permanent accessory, being hard wired in and all.. so I decided to return the mirror and the brackets ::sad face::
The replacement mirror is in progress. I swear, the mirror design is a genius idea! A genius idea that has now delayed us moving into the bathroom by what, 7 weeks now? I found out yesterday we didn’t order enough of one (very important) piece, so now we have to wait for that to get ordered, shipped & delivered. #storyofmylife
I still need to pull the trigger on bathroom accessories. The longer I wait the more I second guess myself. I need to just do it! Things I need: shelf above toilet, tissue cover, soap dispenser, trash can, soap dish, bathroom stool, etc. Help me decide!

I like both options for different reasons, black will tie with our fixtures and yet the white marble will blend in perfectly with the walls and vanity counter. One will stand out while the other will blend in. Considering all these options are on sale right now, I think I should pull the trigger this weekend.
Love the new typography logo… and I see why you can’t decide between these two options, but I’m all for the marble! Maybe you can accessorize with dark candles, towels? That way you still have things that will stand out and are easy to change if you want to :)
great suggestions! I like where you’re heads at :)
I would probably go with the marble!! Can’t wait to see what you decide on :)
I second Thrudy’s suggestions, although I am admittedly a sucker for marble. ;) Also? I think the matte black finish of the accessories pictured may be hard to keep clean/spot free? #reallife
Definitely something to consider!
I had a similar problem: my pottery barn bathroom brass scones (and accessories like tp holder) came in with this ugly darkish clear lacquer coating on them. All wrong! So, I bought a bag of steel wool and hand rubbed all that off. Now I have pretty, real, unpolished brass that will patina over time.
SMART!!!! Great tip, I actually have something polished I should try to do this to match finishes!
