Personally, my least favorite look for bathroom lighting is one long light fixture (too many years of living with those horrid Hollywood light bars, I guess) so I'd vote for two smaller fixtures centered over the medicine cabinets. Would you have space to consider using sconces instead? It's typically much more flattering to have light on either side of a mirror rather than above it. Depending on how wide your medicine cabinets are, perhaps something like these...

Zaca Spacecab makes a nice single door 36" high medicine cabinet. Robern also makes a 15 x 36" single door cabinet, with mirror door inside and out. Kohler I believe has a 36" single door 15" wide medicine cabinet in its Catalan line (which is offered online only at Home Depot's website). These mfrs. almost expect you to line these up, i.e., recessing three 15" wide single door cabinets side to side would give you a storage area of 45" x 36," Or you could put one either side of a 30" mirror and above a 60 inch vanity with a single sink. As you might already know Kohler purchased Robern a few years ago so there's a lot more Kohler branded cabinets on offer at most places out there. Kohler's Verdera Collection has an adjustable magnifying mirror that sits in the cabinet interior. Robern also offers this mirror in some of its cabinets and also again, as an add-on option for certain other cabinets. After way too much research that just led to long, drawn-out periods of indecision I finally bit the bullet and ordered for my friend's bathroom the Kohler Verdera 90001-N/A 15" x 30" cabinet, found at Amazon.com and purchased from build.com (paid via Amazon prime, with free shipping). I went with the 30 inch cabinet, which comes with three glass shelves, because very few people could easily reach the top row of the taller 36 inch cabinet (although at 6'4" my friend certainly could but this house is his first foray into rental property and considered as part of the decision was his current tenant, who is a single woman who is lucky if she's 5'2" and 100 lbs.dripping wet). Another consideration in our installation is the existing cutout's location, which is 18" above the countertop. So that would have put the top of the 36" cabinet six inches from the ceiling! OR: 36" + 18" + 36" = 90" in a bathroom with 96" ceilings. Instead the installation will be: 36" + 18" + 30" = 84" or 12 inches from the ceiling. Oh, this is a side wall install and the sale rep says the cabinet will be very close to flush though NOT flush but apparently no mfr. offers a flush install. Still at 7/8 inch it is 7/8" more than I wanted or preferred.

This project was my first time not doing the DIY thing. I hired someone my boyfriend knew to do the work and he has some beautiful projects in his "portfolio". However, a quick, 2 week reno is now in it's 4th week. The shower he said would be out of commission for 2 days hasn't been working for at least 3 weeks...and this is a one-bathroom condo! I'm lucky to have a wonderful neighbor who lets me come and go in her place (I take my showers next door...it's like being at camp!). The tile work was completed on Monday and the plumber was supposed to come Monday night to install the shower fixtures and install the sink. He didn't show. He was supposed to show last night. I didn't show. My guy promises that the plumber is coming today. We'll see. My boyfriend is angry while I'm just sad. I can't tell you how much sleep I've lost worrying about this project. I'm glad I "pulled the trigger", but I guess my feeling is that people I knew, people I let into my home, don't care enough to show up and give me a shower. These guys have worked on pretty big projects and I imagine working on a small bath with a new homeowner is very different.

Natal-It's the large Cartwright we are considering. Thanks for the additional info. re: the width. That may or may not help. In my last post I included a pic. that shows my main dilema which is a wall the butts right up against one side of the vanity. I will also try a mock up but I was just wanting to weigh my options since I don't have much faith in being able to use the side sconces.
