Vanity Pendants for bathroom?

18 years ago

Hi everyone,

We have a surface mounted medicine cabinet in our washroom that comes out 5 inches. It's rounded and we don't have room for sconces on either side. My dear BF has suggested either boxing out a bulkhead for the light, staining it in espresso (to match the cabinet) and mounting the fixture directly on the bulkhead. OR, he's suggested 3 pendants that will follow the contour of the medicine cabinet, hanging from the ceiling. Can you picture this? What do you think?

I just hung two pendants over my 39" vanity. At first I was thinking it would look odd, but I really like it now.

I chose pendants that were about 7" in diameter - not real big ones. I think it's sortof an updated look. I really didn't want to go the traditional over the mirror vanity light.
