Hi All, We have a long double vanity in our master bath with a tall linen cabinet at the end. We bought triple bath sconces, and our electrician put them up very high so that they would not intersect with the linen cabinet. Now, we can switch to double or single sconces to avoid a light overhanging the linen cabinet, but the height of the lighting is HIGH! :-) It will be costly to move the boxes down, so we are trying to work with them. Any tips on bath lighting (the type that goes above the mirror and sink) that might look less odd when mounted so high? We are ready to buy something new and to hopefully find an solution that doesn't make us cringe as much as we are cringing about the lights right now....(We have one electrical box above each sink's mirror...) Thanks so much! Sara

Update - ok, the 3 pendant lights are growing on me! My first thought when I say them was "nooo, that's not what I envisioned!!" - just as deedles said I thought it looked too crowded. I thought it would drive me crazy and I'd want it changed NOW, but I'm glad I'm giving it some time. Not to say that I won't want it changed, but it def doesn't seem like the "emergency" get it changed NOW that it was last week. deedles - no, can't slide the island down - it's already in place as is the floor so that would be a HUGE deal. But thanks for the idea. kellied - I agree, I need to set a time. And summer sounds like a good time to reevaluate! I am so ready to be done w/ this remodel that I don't even want to think about changing it anytime soon! EMH107 - thanks! And I do think the 38" height is perfect - I thought it would be too high, but it looks great and isn't in anyone's line of sight when in the kitchen. And the pendants def gives off enough light and do not glare in anyone's eyes. I'm thinking too that it would be a BIG pain to change the pendant holes. Funny how last week it seemed like such an issue and I wanted it changed right then, and now it's not so much an emergency! mpagmom - thank you for the compliments! So very true - 2 might not look like enough! I couldn't imagine going through the work of getting them changed to 2 and then not liking that! The more I keep responding to msgs, the more and more I am leaning on keeping them as is. And I guess it goes to show that there isn't a "normal" height for pendants!! linelle - that seems a little low, esp if you have taller people in the kitchen since the pendants would be right in their line of sight. I do like the height that our pendants are - but I guess it all depends on what type of pendants you have. Our pendants do have good light output and the way they are designed you wouldn't have bulb glare in your eyes unless you mounted them really, really high. I do like that we don't have to "dodge" around the pendants to see and talk to others that are in the kitchen and family room. Thanks for the compliment, linelle. The faucet is Moen Arbor w/ the new reflex technology - LOVE it!!

The diagram Sammy posted is a good guide for the height. You could wire for your lights even before you decide which mirror(s) to buy. We did a 6” backsplash and started our beveled, unframed mirrors immediately on top of the splash rather than leaving a space there because the mirrors were filling the whole space wall-to-wall.
