I'm not sure which Kohler faucet this is. DH saved the installation instructions, but didn't write the model number on the appropriate line*. It came from either HD or Lowe's (we shopped at both) and it has a a bit of a trough on the top of the handle. I do like the high arc and the reach is perfect. I also like that there is enough space between the handle and the spout to turn it on with your wrist if you hands are too grubby for using your fingers. This faucet was his choice. I was set on having a sensor faucet for the hall bath, he thought it was a bad idea, I finally drew a line in the sand and said I was going to choose the hall bath faucet and he could choose the MB faucet. Turns out he isn't totally into choosing faucets :), although he worked up to really wanting brushed nickel for the metals in this bathroom. I'm OK with brushed nickle.

This was originally a lake cabin (1966) about 850 sf. According to tax records it slowly "grew" until it is now about 3500 sf. They did not remove old roofs as they enlarged the house. This bathroom is part of the oldest section of the house. That means a roof over a roof..so no way to put in a skylight. I am not happy about it, but nothing I can do. The bar fixtures we just removed made it bright enough, but they were old. 5 bulbs on one wall and 4 bulbs on the other. I think if I buy lights that can take 100 watt bulbs, and if I have two lights on each side of the mirror or 4 above the mirror, then it should be enough. I hope. I haven't seen any lights that take 100 watt bulbs lately though or led equivalent of 100 watt. Maybe with the incandescent bulb issues a few years ago, they quit making those 100 watt fixtures? So, in a couple of years, we plan to sell the house, so I want nice looking lights, but not expensive lights. Something classic, not trendy. I am spending a small fortune on a solid surface shower, stone countertops, and custom cabinets. We gutted everything but the ceiling, and that popcorn junk will be removed. We are going to try to save the marble floor. It should work well. Black marble floor with white veins, either white or light gray swirl for shower base, either subway tile or solid surface walls, light gray quartzite or marble countertops, and medium oak cabinets. Paint color will be last, but I need to preplan for the lights' location to have it wired correctly before we put up sheetrock. Will I get more illumination if I put two lights on either side of the mirror vs above the mirror? Thanks

I am NOT a TV geek so I do not buy TVs just because there is a new "improved" one out there. I only buy a TV when one breaks. Oh - I don't have cable TV or satellite or streaming or whatever everybody does these days. I still have over the air TV. Good enough for me - not much worth watching on any of those thousands of channels anyway. The size of the room should dictate the size of the TV - not your penchant for bigger and better tech. So size the cut out to universal standard sizes if you want the TV to sit in the wall like that. Just hang it on the wall; they're so thin now anyway it wouldn't stick out much. I'd be more likely to buy a new fridge just because I wanted a new one. Another cut out space appliance - dishwasher. They come in standard sizes, so you just buy the one that fits your space. And wall ovens and slide in ranges..... Oh, by the way...those people who cut a hole in the wall to put in a "window" air conditioner -- they still want use of their window and for better security. An AC in a window is basically an open window, but without the nice view.

Don't take the bottom of the wall out. You need a wall to place seating in front of. Yes to white cabinets on the other side as you seem to have the room. IMO adding the columns to a home that doesn't even have crown molding it way too much! Don't gild the lily. Excited to share that Beverly of FLADeziner won Best of Houzz Service 2022!
