" Mixer valves carry out the eminently practical function of moderating the temperature of shower water. First created in the late 19th century for use in hotels and hospitals, their smooth white porcelain surfaces and simple typeface give them a chic vintage vibe. Island Girl Salvage, a crafty Chicago design firm that rescues and remixes classic architectural pieces, has fashioned the fixtures into wall sconces\u2014the valve functions as a wall-mounted base, and a period faucet becomes a silvery arm that holds up a curved white shade. Priced at $265 each or $500 for a pair, they&amp;#039;re a natural for the bathroom, but they&amp;#039;ll bring a summery atmosphere to any space in the house. Best of all, they won&amp;#039;t run hot and cold on you.  Mixer valve sconces by Island Girl Salvage; islandgirlsalvage.com.  For more of What We Love, click here.
