I think I agree with you. I wouldn't want a wall light or a bar light either. Trailrunner has a wall light over her sink, but she is doing a very specific look, an 1890s kitchen

We're in SLO county and you can put whatever light you want over your kitchen sink as long as you abide by the 50% wattage rules.

I have never seen a vanity light over a kitchen sink. I'm curious why your electrician would wire it that way. If budget allows, I think you would be "better off" having him wire it from the ceiling if that is what you want, rather than ending up with something that looks out of place and that you may end up hating. If it absolutely has to be wired in the wall, is there room for wall sconces? They look pretty but I'm not sure how great they'd be for task lighting. Depending on where your sink is in relation to your peninsula, you might also consider lighting that is flush to the ceiling or a recessed can so as to avoid too many fixtures hanging down.

Three things. First, another vote for shelves. Personally, I would run the cabinets on the range wall back but blank the corner. Then run the shelves at different widths across the entire wall. What's wrong with what's shown in the drawing ... What is sold in the store as a 12" board is actually 11-1/4 inches. It will not meet up with the front of the cabinet. Even if you get matching shelves from the cabinet company, the premade ones are sized to fit inside the cabinet. The shelves can't be supported by drilling into the side wall of the cabinet - you'll need to add some other support (brackets or cleats) and possibly some pieces to stiffen the shelves. Its not adjustable so you really have to spend some time figuring out spacing in advance. If you do open shelves, how will you stop the tile? Won't the pendant be over your head instead of the sink? Those are some of the reasons why you might choose to get an open or closed cabinet instead and add undercabinet lighting. Or do what plllog suggested. Second, if you want a cabinet over the ref to complete the look, price a full depth cabinet or see if hubby will agree to box it out so the front edge of the cabinet is even with the front of the refrigerator body. Maybe add a ref side panel for a true built-in look. Three, that corner cabinet might have an issue with having the deeper range right beside it. It's door or drawer might not be able to open. One of those susan types where the door swings into the cabinet would avoid some of it. Its always possible I'm misinterpreting the drawing, but you might want to check that out.
