Try to find a place that imports from Europe. We were in Europe a couple
of years ago and liked the fixtures we saw in peoples' homes. Went into a
home depot like store in Germany and bought towel racks and tp holder.
Got a couple of funny comments bringing them through customs. I love
browsing the tool part of the store. Most stuff appeared to be made in
Germany. Well made and trustworthy. So much now here is made and China.
I just don't trust the quality.



I saw the Chinese knockoff faucets and sure looks nice and well made but not
sure of the quality either. What was impressive were those faucets were
placed next to some high end European imports that cost well over $1,000
each and I couldn't tell the difference. Too bad that store didn't carry any
light fixtures. I had an expensive fixture imported from France (purchased
in USA) that needed parts too soon and the only way to get it was to call
the company in France - PITA since I don't speak French.




Now that I am retired and the wife still works I
clean the bathrooms and appreciate have minimalist stuff with few nooks
and crannies to collect dirt, etc.

I need to replace my above sink wall mounted bathroom light fixture. I'm
looking for a clean, uncomplicated and modern looking fixture to match
with the rest of the remolded bathroom but there is only one and at most
two modern options with the remaining dozens of the styles look like its
from the 1920's in Lowe's and Home Depot. Don't people use modern looking
bathroom wall mounted light fixtures?
