Country Bathroom Light Fixtures
I have been struggling with what light fixture to put in our upstairs bathroom for a while now. I'm actually struggling with the whole space. The bathroom is small & I am trying to maximize the space all while trying to make it pretty. It's coming along, but the light fixture was holding me back. We had a bathroom vanity light from Home Depot hanging in this space, but when we hung this mirror from Scout & Nimble the light fixture hung over the mirror & didn't fit right. So, what's a girl to do? Build her own light fixture! Here is the DIY bathroom vanity light we came up with…
The bathroom is far from finished & really get's pushed to the back burner a lot, but I think we are on the right path with this light. I still have to paint the walls in this space as well, but It's really coming along quite nicely. This room has no windows so excuse the dark lighting, but we work with what we have around here…
We actually put one of these lights in our downstairs bathroom right when we moved into our Michigan house because it's an even smaller bathroom, so why not put three of these guys in our other bathroom? How did we make this easy DIY bathroom light fixture? Wouldn't you like to know… I kid! It's really easy & here's how we did it…
We bought three of these light fixtures at Home Depot in the outdoor lighting department. They were all around $20 I believe which isn't bad because the bathroom light fixture we got from there was well over $100 so this was actually cheaper. I forget what finish we got, but I believe they come in different colors so you can choose one that fits your space.
We started with a board the appropriate size for our bathroom & the three light fixtures. We drilled three holes in the board evenly spaced where we wanted the lights. The holes are for the wires to be threaded through to all connect in the one space behind the board when we hang it up.
The board was painted white & we began mounting the light fixtures to the board. The hole for the wires to be threaded through is at the top & the mounting hardware is right below the hole so that the wires can still go through the hole & be hidden.
To hang the light fixture up on the wall we used mounting hardware on the back of the board. You can choose any mounting hardware you want, we used D-rings on the back of the board. To wire the fixture we simply spliced all the wires together & then hooked it up to the house electricity the way you would a normal light fixture. Hopefully that made sense since I am no electrician! That's it! You have yourself a lovely farmhouse bathroom vanity light fixture!
There is our DIY bathroom vanity light fixture made from outdoor lights! What do you think of it? Turned out pretty cute huh? Now one of these days I'll make more progress on this little room our ours. I need a new shower curtain yet & some other details along with painting or just touching up the paint in the small bathroom. Let me know what you think of the light in the comments below, find me on Facebook, & chat with me on Instagram!
