I am preparing a renovation plan for small bathroom in NYC

Victorian brownstone. I have chosen a claw foot tub because of its relevance to the era of the building and for the fact that the open area under the tub will make the space feel more open than the current tub does. For similar reasons I plan to install a pedestal sink.

Lighting questions: The tub is located across the rear wall of the room. I am thinking that some small lights installed in this rear wall to illuminate under the tub and/or uplight the back wall would be a good addition. Practical thoughts from any of you lighting experts would be appreciated.

With respect to sink. I am planning on a vessel sink that sits on top of the pedestal. I would go with glass, if the glass can be effectively and legally high lighted from either above or below.-- otherwise will go with porcelain.

Thanks for your help.
