I have not posted yet to this site after many hours reading but your home inspired me to log in. I have not seen such a gorgeous home. I love everything about it!! I could move in and feel right at home. However I am on the other side of the states and just starting a remodel. My question. Do you have the radiant heat upstairs? Did you cover it with 1 in of concrete? I plan on about that much light and wonder if it will be too hot up there??

The mirrors ‘go with’ the bedroom furniture and were brought from our previous home, so while I appreciate the thought, they r staying for now. Thanks tho.

I don't know where these figures come on the amount allocated to furnishing a home. In my experience, if you are buying your first home, you are going to be strapped for cash - at least for the first year or so. Most people I know made do with donations; thrift store acquisitions, odds and ends accumulated along the way and disposable furniture from places like IKEA - or they made do without. If one is moving to a second or third home, surely one has acquired furniture along the way and doesn't immediately discard it. Again, in my experience, most people with middle class incomes make do with already existing furniture and augment as needed. While it's nice to get new stuff, most people I know bought furniture gradually.

I assume your sink cabinets are 30" wide based on the other info you provided. If you have 6" of counter to the left of your sink and a 22" mirror, that leaves you 4" of wall space, which isn't enough for a sconce. So you'd have to do the bath light over the sink. If you mirrored the entire wall, you might be able to mount side sconces through the mirror. You'd have 6" between the edge of the sink and the wall. There are vertical bath bar style sconces that are 4" wide. But it'll be tight. Talk to the contractor. You should draw the whole wall out on graph paper to make sure everything is placed correctly.
