I searched for a very long time to find the right look for my master bathroom.  I needed the lights to point down (I was sick of cleaning bugs out of the glass) and I wanted something timeless (the previous fixture was a gaudy brass fixture that had dated itself shortly after the previous owner installed it).  I love the see through glass that allows me to change up the look with different lightbulbs.  It was so perfect that I bought another one for our guest bathroom.
