We redid a fantastic master bathroom, changed the floor plan by moving the shower, eliminating a bath tub and creating a private water closet. We picked out a fantastic Silestone counter top in Grey Amazon. There was enough counter top left over for a small bathroom counter so we did a mini-makeover on the guest bathroom and changed lighting, counter, sink, toilet, floor tile, new cabinet fronts, repainted with new hardware. Both bathrooms have a completely different feel even though we used the same counter top and same floor tile.

West Elm has a great candle holder the branch tripod floor pillar standing at about 52" high. It was $69 and can now be found on sale on the website for $49 but the Corte Madera store had it on sale for $19.99! If this one is too big there are a couple smaller branch candle holders that are just as nice. I used it in a bathroom.
Coming this fall you'll be able to find the same form in a table and standing lamp. I'd love to see it as a table leg too. If you are handy you might consider making a plant stand or high table with the candle holder. Let me know if you have any other creative ideas.
