These fixtures are beautiful. Im in the middle of remodeling my bathroom and had my eye on these for a while. As you can see from the picture, I just painted around the area after texturing the walls then installed them. It took me less than 10 minutes to install and you dont need to be an electrician to do it. Just connect the hot and neutral wires and the ground plus the mounting hardware and thats it. I put Edison style bulbs in it that still put off the warm white light and they look great!!
