No it is not strange but practical.

Thanks. i am thinking of changing the sconces maybe just to make ot slightly didferent. good to know its not strange

Makes sense to save the hassle and not really odd but usually the master bath and bedroom should sort of work together .I would how ever not be letting my contractor make design choices.

New home builds most often have all cabinetry the same--so yes bathrooms would be pretty identical. Not odd at all. I would balk at a contractor making design descisions. Not his job. Not his area of expertise. Deffinitely I would expect him to choose easiest for him!!!

You don't remodel to sell in one or two years. You remodel for you.

You will never guess the wants of a future buyer with any accuracy.

Price your home to reflect whatever the situation is, and remember if you lived in it? So too will someone else.

Save the money for your next home, as NO remodel is ever reimbursed fully at purchase, and rarely even comes close.

In No case is a contractor your designer. He is a technician and you are the "designer"

take that advice for the next home you select.

Thanks everyone for your input. this was all my husbands doing. We actually do need to fix the bathroom as there is no working shower, cracks in tile, carrera marble slabs missing from the floor. i know we can never recoup what we spend. we talked to our agent who agreed to have it fixed and if anything we will enjoy for a year or two. i will be talking to contractor next week about some things

Jan hit the nail on the head!

You can expect to get an 80% ROI - so for every $1000 you spend the price of your home will go up $800. The other $200 is a gift you are giving to the new owner. Money they don't need to spend and money you no longer have to spend on your next home.

I wouldn't find it strange if all your bathrooms had similar tile, fixtures, etc. but would find it a bit strange to just have two bathrooms that are similar in finishes and fixtures. Prospective buyers might think, "Huh, guess they found these materials, fixtures on sale and decided to use them in these two bathrooms only."

really push to go super simple with the finishes - i often see contractors select trendy items bc they assume that is what everyone wants

honestly matching is smart for a quick flip, buyers read it as clean and cohesive. the trick is keeping it simple: soft neutral tile, a classic shaker or flat-panel vanity, plain mirror, no trendy sconces. you can still tweak small stuff in the kid bath, like hardware finish or mirror shape, so it doesn't feel copy-pasted. and yeah, you pick the finishes, not the contractor. he just builds it.
