A few things to consider first: Are these sconces the only source of light in this bathroom? If so, you need to find sconces that use standard base bulbs and that have a glass shade instead of fabric. To spave money, find the least expensive sconce with a backplate that has some detail and paint it to match the rooms decor, if you are looking for pink. Make sure the glass is a frosted or white globe to obtain the maximum light. Th sconce should be rated for 100 Watts. If you place these with the globe facing up on either side of your mirror, no more than 32" apart you will have great light for grooming. If these are not the primary light, find an inexpensive sconce with a candleabra size socket and use a clip on shade in the color of your choice. The fixture can be painted or use a metal finish that matches your bath fixtures. Spend your money on the shade, which is what everyone will see. I have painted many fixtures in a silver leaf to use with chrome or brushed nickel. The silver leaf softens the overall effect but will still coordinate with your bathroom fixtures. Gold leaf works well with Brass fixtures. Often in a child's room, white paint is a good choice. I notice that one of the previous responses is from a person who is obviously affiliated with the site they recommend (Reliance) since that is the only response they ever make. Sorry that some think this only a place to advertise. If you are on a tight budget, try one of the solutions above and you will have a very custom look for little money. Jubilee makes lots of shades or check out stores in your local area for a shade. You can also dress up an inexpensive white shade with the addition of a ribbon and a bow or try gluing beads on the bottom and top. You can find these at your local craft store. On a hardback smooth shade, stenciling or hand painting works well also. Shop second hand stores or garage sales for a crystal sconce and paint it, add a lovely shade for a shabby chic look for a fraction of the price. I hope these suggestions help.

Just another note.... If you have shiny chrome fixtures and can't or don't want to match light fixtures to chrome then don't. If you try to match another shiny material it looks like a wanna be. Go with silver but make it a brushed - something similar but in fact different in its own right and it won't look like a wanna be. Just like the finish on the silver mirror in your picture it is brushed not polished and shiny like the fixtures.

I got a pair of single sconces for $119. The double sconce is $151. Both were on sale (quite a bit off, in fact). With free shipping! And a credit to use up. Woo hoo! Our current light bar is 3 lights with 40W bulbs in each with one over each sink. I've never felt it wasn't bright enough so I would think that 2 lights with 60W bulbs in each would be good. I can't imagine nearly doubling the light output by using 100W, or the equivalent, in each. The sconces aren't rated for higher than 60W but I could always bump up the lumens by switching to LEDs. Did we talk about this already? I'm having a serious case of deja vu. Fingers crossed that the mirrors either go on sale or that there's a coupon I can use for their purchase when they are back in stock.

Mike, I remember helping you before. Glad you're mounting the sconces on the mirror, which will give you some light bounce. I would draw out the vanity and wall on graph paper and place the sconces accordingly. The issue is the unusually large space between the sinks causing your sconces to look shoved to the ends of the mirror. You do not want option B, overhead lighting. You might get away with three sconces but you'll probably need four with the slim style. You should consult a lighting store to be sure they'll provide enough light.
