why does your electrician say you need a fixture over the sink, that is the most important question. I wouldnt want anything over the window, unless for some reason they cannot put a can there. in which case i would opt for a small flush mount, the sconce is darling, but that light bulb is not meant for task.

two pendants is fine.. your right.

I always want a light over the sink, assuming there's room above the window frame -- gotta see your dishes to be sure they're clean! :) Another pendant (on a shorter leash) might be easiest, although your sconce is cool. A favorite rehabber of mine used some like that recently:

those look great, and can take a regular bulb. the old fashion bulb just doesn't cut it to see clean plates lol

im not saying do the pendant, but you will already have three hanging things....

ok i just made this up.......

yes, if you get one, (call it a warehouse shade or barn light), with a solid hood like this you can put a regular bulb in it. I would put the max wattage, and have the Bro in law put in a dimmer there.

im trying do decide if i would do two or one? but if one seems you could go 10'' or more depending on how expressive you want it to be.

We would recommend a recessed can above the sink that is on it's own switch. You already have mixed 2 different light styles. So we don't think you need a third style in the space. It sounds wonderful with 10' ceilings and dark stained cabinets! Good luck with your project.

Thanks for your question. I thought there were photos showing the other recessed lights but I don't see them. I would use the same size for above the sink. If your counters and floor are concrete, they are a matte/not shiny finish, right? If so, glass tile may be a nice contrast to add a bit of shine while maintaining a contemporary look. If you could post a photo showing your cabinet style with your countertops and floors, we would give more detailed advice to you.
