I suggest taking a plastic grocery bag and stuffing it with crumpled newspaper to make it about the size of the light fixture you're considering and then have someone hold it where you want it...it gives you an idea of how the real one will look in terms of scale....

Annie, thanks for the suggestion! After I did that, I think 6 inch will work best. the 4 inch felt a little small..

So here are a few options. This is a pic of my bath

Please vote on which light I should do!

6 inch schoolhouse pendant. This is not damp rated, but seems enclosed.

malibu pendant. this was listed for dry locations only, so not sure it can be used.

green glass pendant. this one is 8 inches, but looks kind of delicate, though i am unsure if the green glass will make everything look green.

I like either of the first 2 pendents. I like the middle one the best. Have you looked at Hubbardton Forge? Here is a link. They are damp rated to the pendant page. The single lights are near the end of the list. There are several that I like. I have a semi flush in my kitchen and I LOVE it. They are made in the USA.

thanks Enduring! i will check them out.

I forgot to mention that your bathroom looks beautiful.

thanks enduring! I am still waiting on grout and need to figure out what color to do on the vanity and tub panel.

any ideas/suggestions? DH wants likes the espresso wood look, but I was thinking i should paint it something lighter to make it feel bigger since it is a small bath.

Do you like high contrast? The espresso will create more drama I think. The light color more mellow. I think either would be very doable. What color is your tile? Is it the ming green marble? Take a look on Houzz for tons of pictures, sorting them using your concepts. I have linked a search on espresso cabinet ming green marble and got a few hits. I really like some of them. The last one on the second page I think is beautiful with that maroon dark wood with the soft light fresh green. There are some examples of light and dark cabinets in this search.

This is a rather poor photo of our Powder Room via cell phone which may help with your size reference.

Mini pendants are 3.5" square x 3" high, hanging from an 8-foot ceiling. Vanity is 26" wide. Lights are low voltage halogen, dimmable and provide very good illumination in an approximately 4' x 6' room.

fnmroberts, thanks for the pic. that does help a lot with reference.

enduring, thanks for the link. my tile is very close to the color of ming green marble. the feeling i want to have in the bath is freshness. do you think the light or dark would both be ok to capture that feeling? i also do like high contrast of the dark, but not sure if it will still feel fresh.
