Sue,

Very nice work you did on your bathroom.
Smart to go with the swanstone shower kit and now not having to worry about water penetrating walls.
I love your vanity mirror.

I love the TP holder, how the towels bring all the colors together, and your attention to the small details. I added the TP holder to my own bathroom notes. We are doing a gut in a year or two. I will also be using Swanstone for walls, but also using their ADA floor with the trough drain at the outer edge. I plan to take the wall panels to the ceiling. Is the cost so much more to do so, or did you simply like the more traditional look of lower shower walls? Mine is in an alcove, so I think that makes more of an argument for going all the way up for me, too. Are you loving the wall panels? Is the niche working well for you? I can't wait to get rid of my wire shampoo bottle hanger!

I had a Toto with the special glazing inside in my last house. Don't you find that you don't need to use the toilet brush as often? I miss mine. I might steal your idea for the crown molding, too. I really admire your use of ecologically conscious materials. That is harder to do in a bath.

Great Job!

Looks great! This is the same size bathroom we are just starting on! Arrangement is the same too except ours is on the other side. I wanted to rearrange things but it was too expensive to move the plumbing. We are probably going to use a small clawfoot tub and a wall mounted sink with no vanity. I gave up on getting a wall mounted toilet (I liked the idea of being able to mop under the toilet) but there was extra expense in the plumbing...

I like that there is a little cubby in the wall for shampoo and such.

Beautiful work, Sue!

Those blue walls really pop with the warm cherry cabinets and Prairie shower walls!

I'm trying to work with a similar bathroom. I had given up on a soaking tub because our tub is only 30 inches wide and the tubs I've seen are 32 inches wide. You say you moved the toilet a few inches. What did that entail? I haven't been give that option.

When I first met with the contractor I had the tub measurements and got their quote on the job including moving the toilet over a couple of inches. He did not give me any feedback on it and it never came up as an issue. The whole room was gutted, tile removed from walls and floor. I found a 6 feet x 9 feet bathroom template online and drew in my vanity and tub to shop for toilets that were not as wide as the original toilet, then drew that in. I believe the shop where I ordered the vanity cabinet had a designer on staff who checked and drew in everything to confirm it would fit before I ordered the vanity and toilet from him.

Sue,

Your bathroom looks lovely. I'll be redoing our bathroom and I'm planning to use Delta Arzo for the faucets, towel bars, etc. How have those faucets and fixtures worked out? Do you have the hand-held shower on the slide bar, or something else?

Now that you've had them for a while, would you recommend them?
