Thanks!! the other side of the bathroom with the toilet shower and tub we painted white. It looks very big and fresh and makes all the white tile look better. Plus it kinda makes the bathroom seem like 2 rooms which I like. I'll take a pic of that to post as well.

I am sorry to hear you are not happy with this and that it was not made clear to you in advance there would be this height difference. We've also had leveling issues with our house during out remodel last year and had to make some compromises that I did not like and then we had an issue where grout keeps popping out and some broken stone tiles in our entryway because the tile installer cheated one end of the mud bed so we wouldn't have a 2-3" step like yours. So as you can see the other solution would've had a different set of problems..... What is annoying is when these contractors make these decisions for us without consulting us and any fix would be difficult and costly. My "fix" would be to demo the stone floor and either do porcelain or hardwood, neither is acceptable to me so I live with this one section where the grout pops out and make sure no one brings in heavy stuff on my entry floor. I agree, it may be a good idea to take a little break while you absorb this new development, let your contractor know you are disappointed this was not communicated to you ahead of time and ask if there are any other solutions... I would try to get Bill Vincent's (or Mongo's) opinion on this as well. He often frequents the bathroom forum as does a couple other tile installers who can advise you if this is a good install or not or perhaps suggest another option you've not thought of, though of the two solutions mentioned, a step sounds better than a short ramp.

Yes 2metals on the faucet, or even a hand-towel ring in nickel, or something to bring the metals together in that small vanity space here’s even a two-metal hand-towel ring (only an example, metals aren’t right) https://www.anthropologie.com/shop/darwin-towel-ring?color=007&size=One%20Size&inventoryCountry=US&countryCode=US&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIkJmk-7ro6gIVxJJbCh2u7AD4EAQYCCABEgIl__D_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds&type=STANDARD&quantity=1 just a suggestion- you made lovely choices

I got the cabinets through Home Depot (20% off) they are not higher end but they have held up extremely well and we’ve been happy with them. I don’t remember the brand, but the color is cognac on maple. They’re standard kitchen cabinets. We got 2 regular drawer banks, 1 extra wide drawer bank, 2 sink cabinets and the closet you can see in the picture for about 1800 w/the discount. We bumped the shower wall 6 inches into the bedroom to make the shower bigger, pulled the cabinets out from the wall a couple of inches to provide more counter top. And curved the edge the counter for interest. Just for fun, this is what we had to start with. The tub was rusted and there were two doors, 1 from the hall & 1 from the master bedroom, we closed up the hall door. I think we got our moneys worth. LOL As for the labor, I found my Contractor through a plumber I had hired to put in a kitchen faucet. I asked if he had someone good he could refer and he referred Matt to me. Matt had his own company but just him and his guys. All of his work was by word of mouth, he didn’t advertise or push for business, he didn’t need to. I think I got fair pricing from him because he didn’t have the overhead a lot of the larger companies might have. He wasn’t the least expensive and he wasn’t the most expensive. Finding someone who was willing to work on our schedule and not having to have it done ASAP is what really helped me to be able to keep our costs at a minium for both labor and materials.
