After a 4-month backorder, I’m excited to have given my bathroom a much-needed update in the lighting department. It’s amazing how long you can go on living with a giant, 4-bulb, uncovered, off-center fixture that detracts from the beauty of a new vanity and sink top, and also, it’s amazing how hard it can be to find affordable bathroom fixtures that aren’t atrocious. I think you’ll like my selection.
In this post, it’s out with this old fixture, and in something modern, fantastic, and brand-spankin’ new. And I updated the mirror to boot, so take that, ugly light, whoop-pah.

I agree! New plumbing fixtures are typically designed to save water and energy. Older fixtures use more water, causing your water bill to be higher. Energy saving fixtures lower your monthly water bill, as upgraded shower heads, faucets, water heaters, pipes and toilets are designed to use less water.
