Hi Bath Dilemna: i'm very happy with the final result and thankful I found a wonderful contractor who was very much into fine details and quality work . And Yes some things sometimes always do show up
that slow down the project. That additional listello patterned floor border was a quick fix solution to a unevenly spaced. floor area not taken into account with addition of new shower base . But worked out fine. The granite on the cabinents was not what I had ordered in the showroom (fabricator received different slab) However the colors blended in okay ! I am going to purchase and select my designs before I rip out the next project however as a lesson learned. Post your bathroom when your done , cant wait to see how it turned out. We both have the same tastes in our ideabooks and I wanted the crystal handles as well but had to rush out and buy brushed nickel locally quickly as the contractor was ready to install them that day. My husband has mentioned he misses his bathtub but we do have a second tub in the house! Thanks again and Good luck GiGI
