Hi @goredr, I meant start a new thread where your post was the opening statement. But, I like your picture. It helps very much to describe what you are asking. If you still care to begin your own thread, you just enter it at the top and add the picture along with it. You give the tread a title. Your Title could be something like "advice needed for mirror placement in makeup/vanity area". Or something shorter. I think you will get more feedback with your own post because it will be new. This thread is old and may be ignored. I think a lovely mirror of your choosing would look special and personal to you, between the sconces. It could be a long oval, a rectangle, with or without frame. I think a bevel would be a nice touch, especially with a frameless mirror. Since that is a makeup area, what other lighting will you have? I feel that the lighting you have now, may not be bright enough.

It looks like you will be getting light from both the top and bottom of these sconces, and so I would try to do a test installation before doing a permanent mount. I have a portable wall that I use for testing the sconces that I design, but you might be able to make something similar yourself with a half sheet of plywood and a "J" box. You will need to add a block of wood next to the hole that you cut for for the J box, for mounting the J box. Here's part of the drawing I used for building the sample wall, showing plan, back view, and side view. The rectangle in the center is the hole for the J box. This drawing does not include the base we made to hold the wall.

You should stick with one post on this topic. Your older post http://ths.gardenweb.com/discussions/4963294/sconce-help-please?n=7  had several replies.
