Not sure of cost. Probably depends on where you are. But I would ring up some sparkys and ask for their price per switch. I wouldn't pay by the hour. They will probably charge a call out fee as well. Ring someone who says 'no job too small'. I hesitate in saying that it won't be too expensive because we all have different views on what is expensive but it shouldn't be a huge job. Oh and get three quotes if you are concerned about price.

Hi Saf, There are so many options to the look of the power point these days you could choose white so they basically disappear into the tile or something more stylish that makes them a feature. If you do that, i'd make them both above the counter so there is symmetry. Also once you're using the bathroom, the styling (for example a pot plant or a tray with the soap dispenser, hand moisturiser and vase) will potentially hide the power points from view anyway. I have a single vanity myself but still went for two double power points (one each side of the sink) which allows us to have a google home mini speaker plugged in all the time, and I can use my hairdryer and straightener whilst my partner is also charging his shaver, without having to unplug/plugin. I also have a feature tile behind my vanity/mirror however still don't feel the white power points stand out that much. You could always change the face of the power point later if you think they look ugly? Hope this has helped. Kind Regards, Carol

You need to focus on task lighting firstly. A down light between your head and the cooktop, and another between your head and the sink. Then either your track lighting or pendants over the island.

Where are they to be attached? I too was thinking lanterns suit a verandah but are those log walls? Even if the lanterns can be installed I'm not sure they'd look right? So I'm thinking maybe bunkers.
