CHandeliers are all the rage in bathrooms now a days. You have to watch code (draw a box, 3' by 8' high from any source of water...you can't have open bulbs in that box) but with your vaulted ceiling, you're probably fine there. Actually you're fine if you aren't having any inspections too, but I just discovered that my lighting falls in that box (because some idiot might stand on the tub deck, with a tub full of water and change a lightbulb, slip and hold onto the socket with their finger in it, and then electricute themselves and others). In my opinion any idiot that stupid deserves it heh heh but that's code, so I thought I'd share it since you mentioned the whirlpool :) Look at a couple of design magazines on bathrooms..you'll see chandeliers in almost all of them.

Hi everybody! I have been waiting all summer for it to cool off. It seems that the heat makes my dizziness and nausea worse. I have lost about 15 lbs with being too sick to eat throughout the summer. I just this week got my helper here to help me clean the garage and then I moved the vanity out there and sanded it a bit in the easy places, and got it up on a table. I got the brass floor protectors pried off the bottom of the legs and was pleased to find no holes have been drilled in them. That means that I can drill holes for the feet I bought. I have adjustable feet that will give the vanity an extra 1/2" of height, and that can be screwed up to give another 1/2" if we want. That would make the legs appear to float way too high in the air, so I don't think it will work. the extra 1/2" will have to suffice, with the ability to make the vanity level so that the sink will drain properly. I have also decided that the bail-type handles that came with it are not going to work for us. I can't see us fumbling around trying to grab the bail that has recessed back into the grooves of the handle around it, standing there with water or soap in our eyes. A knob is much easier to use. I had Hubby try using the bail and he vetoed it on the first try and said, "replace 'em!" I am using these on doors of a set of shallow cupboards that will be recessed into the closet of the the neighboring bedroom. I figured they were a sure bet for the six drawers, too. I am not going to use the center drawer anymore, what with all the plumbing going on above it, so I will just fill in those holes. I need to cut away the bottom of the drawer space, then move the drawer support piece to the left or right. It is at dead center right now, and the sink's drain will need to go there. I just have to sand down the fluted areas of the vanity table, then it will be ready to be primed and painted. I am still leaning toward painting it the violet Peace and Happiness. I have purchased more components for the plumbing. I have all of the shower controls and the rain shower head and regular shower head. Still need to get the hand-held and some safety hand-hold bars for the shower area. I still have not finalized a wall tile (looking at fake Cararra tile for the room's walls) or floor tile or the surface for the top of the vanity. We HAVE concluded, though, that we cannot get this job done until Toby, our ever-more-confused beagle/golden retriever mix, dies. He will be 16 at the end of this month. He has spinal arthritis and began vomiting every time he was given his Tramadol or his glucosamine/chondroitin pills, then quit taking them. He had to go on prednisone to control the pain. He is peeing a lot in the house, always on a rug or quilted mattress pad put down for him. The bathroom is his main place to pee. I will not have my new floor grout saturated with dog pee. I don't think the poor guy would cope well with the construction, either. He is now blind in one eye and somewhat deaf. It would be too confusing for him to do all that construction. So even though I can't get Jim over here to do the work, if I could, I would not be able to do it until Toby passes on. So, instead, we are getting new gutters and trim, and getting our four remaining windows replaced. We did the other three windows when we remodeled the kitchen and made the living room into the library/music room. I am in the process of cleaning and decluttering so the window guys can get in to measure!

Now that I see a picture, it makes a little sense why your electrician didn't say anything. " I should have said that the portion of the shower door near the pendant is stationary." Sounds more like a wall than a door. Most things in the NEC measure around walls, not through. The only problem I see is in the next statement. "And while the shower spray would not ordinarily hit the fixture, the base of the fixture is about 2' from the shower head with no glass separating them." So, the glass wall doesn't go all the way to the ceiling. How tall is the glass and the ceiling? If it did, then I believe that most inspectors would measure from the actual door opening. This tends to be where there is a little interpretation necessary by the local electrical inspector. Maybe the electrician already knows that it will pass due to previous encounters, but it would be good to call the inspector and see if they can swing by and give you some final clarification on this before you buy fixtures.

Some things I picked...Wood look porcelain plank floor tile in a mid tone with dark grout ( stick with a mid tone because real dark shows water spots), Toto toilet with smooth sides (no side intestines), and a wall mount paper hand towel dispenser near vanity. My husband is extremely hard on things but really wanted off white cabinetry which I was in great doubt about. Maybe it's because we built and installed them ourselves from high-end RTA's that he is more careful but careful he is and it has worked out nice. I painted the wall mount paper hand towel dispenser the wall color, husband uses it every day by wetting a few with plain water and wiping down his part of the vanity, mirror and countertop. It takes 10 seconds. The only PITA is the glass shower doors which must be squeegee'd after every use. I spent a lot of money on a good fan that continually runs on low but kicks into high once you trip the sensor. We bought the kind that can be installed directly above the shower. That was a great buy! You mentioned white subway tile, I bought the biscuit color with matching grout and have no trouble keeping it nice with a very minimal amount of effort. Oh and...My master bath has a door going into the tub/shower/toilet area and I have the towel bars on the back of that door. The towels that are often in a messy arrangement are hidden behind the door which is open unless one is in that section. I do not have to view that on first entry. Edited to add: The other great thing is single lever faucets mounted close to the sink with a gap behind that fits a hand for easy cleaning and commercial grade under cabinet built-in vanity soap dispensers that fill from the top. Get the kind that have a spout long enough that it is slightly over the sink to catch any drips. It's hard to tell in this picture but the gap behind the faucet fits a pretty good sized hand. having things handy and simple helps with easy clean-up in the vanity area.This floor never ever looks dirty.
