Half Bath - Lighting

The half bath, on the first floor of O'Dea-O'Dea was all original hardware up until a week and a half ago when I replaced the toilet.  The old Briggs toilet actually had a bowl and tank that had the 1983 stamps on them.  But, I wonder if Mrs. O'Dea-O'Dea never noticed the difference in colors between the two pieces or if the tank was replaced at a later date.  White bowl and off-white tank.  Lovely....  Plus, in spite of replacing the internal hardware back in early 2009, the toilet was intermittent with its desire to flush.

It was replaced with an American Standard toilet and at first I thought the internal workings were malfunctioning and thank God, it was just a matter of slight manipulation to get it working properly.

The floor needs to totally be pulled up, as a water leak from the bath above years or decades ago pooled in the half bath floor and warped the sub floor and lifted the tile towards the wall.  A project for another time.

For now, I am just trying to freshen and lighten up the bath a bit.  Items such as the builders bronze vanity light clashes violently with Mrs. O'Dea-O'Dea's metallic Asian print wall paper.  Some may say the paper has to go.  But, personally, I think it is just grand!  Brushed silver with white bamboo designs.

The light is going to be replaced with a Quorum Ashton Vanity Light in Satin Nickel.  Another piece that has a couple of small parts that I have the manufacturer researching the replacement finials or what I refer to as "screw balls".  The lighting fixture is missing two of the three and they are rather large and matching Satin Nickle, so they are not easy to replace via a lighting or hardware store.




Quorum, Ashton Vanity Light in Satin Nickel



Another dilemma is the brushed/satin nickle accessories (toilet paper holder, towel ring and towel bars) have round hardware and when I removed the builder's old chrome hardware discovered that the wall paper was cut around the perimeter of the wall mounts and therefore, there are bare spaces on the wall that I have to find a solution for in terms of cover-up.

Any suggestions?
