Thanks mtnrdredux . I will try the room planner. The small w/c was one of my concerns with this proposal. If I made one of those doors a shower, I'd have no room for closet space at all, that's the only issue. I don't need a lot of space since we only live here during the winter, but it is the master bedroom and bath so I don't want to make the closet unreasonably small. What about this as an option Kind of a take-of on this picture: The wall of closets would go on the right side. Toilet room in one of the 4 ft boxes and walk-in shower in the other.

Thanks, mayflowers! I met with my KD this morning. It was a very productive meeting. Chose the tile pattern for the shower (B), decided upon the Kohler shower pan in Sandbar (Dune is a close runner up) and the lay-out of the shower fixture and the bench (angled, ending 9" shy of the glass to make install easy and also easy to clean the glass), mirror sizes, light mounting heights.... Yep, we knocked my "but what about" list down to size. Yay! She said toe testers were done all the time in Canada when she lived there (was a KD there, too) but they aren't done as often here, for whatever reason. I don't think it will be necessary for us to have a toe tester because of the fixtures we chose and where we're installing them. I'll review our plan when I take showers this weekend to see how the new set-up will work and see if there are any hiccups with it. This afternoon, I went out to United Tile up to check out alternative accent tiles. Yep, your comment about the brown in the mosaic got me thinking. I asked a rep at Contractors Furnishing Mart this morning and she said, "yes, it can be variable and you might end up with more brown than blue tiles." Uh, oh, don't want that, especially since the brown is a golden brown, which doesn't work well with the shower pan color and other choices. I came home with 4 to consider but as soon as I got them in my light, I immediately kicked 2 out of the running. One was wishy washy and the other was holy guacamole bright! I forgot to ask pricing but unless it's out of this world outrageously expensive, it's likely going to be doable since we don't need a lot of it, our install pattern is uncomplicated and our other choices are easy on the budget. Choice #1 is Lunada Bay, Tozen series, in Iodine, in 2 finishes. Here it is in silk (non-glossy). Here it is in natural (shiny). I'm leaning towards silk. Tile choice #2 is also Lunada Bay but in the Agate series in Pisa, silk finish. The sample I brought home reads more green than what I saw in the store and than it is in the above pic but my sample is 1/2 x 4 brick so there's not nearly the color variation as there at the store and in the pic. Aquarius may or may not work but there were other yummy colors in the same series of glazed tile so I'm sure to find a color for the 1/4 round. There can be color variation in these, too, but they shouldn't go brown at all. They might be more green than blue or vise versa but that's not a problem. Thanks, mayflowers, for voicing your concern. If you hadn't, I would never have known that my original choice could end up with a lot more brown in it than I want. That could have been a big oops at install!

We will be using a different counter top. This is one that we both like. It's white ceramic with an integral bowl. It's available in two thicknesses - 3/4" and 1 1/4". Both of the vanities are from Fairmont Designs. We've seen them at several plumbing supply showrooms. I have also found several sources on line, including Amazon! As much as like #1, it does read contemporary to me, too.

Agree the skirted toilets are much easier to clean, as are the one-piece toilets. I got a one-piece (but not skirted) and LOVE it. I'm just going to weigh in here and tell you that I really dislike the rain shower shower heads. As a dog sitter, I often stay in other people's houses, and a few times I've used these rain shower heads and I despise them. I don't like the straight-down/overhead style, where water is just being dumped on you; dislike the lack of an angle so that you can, say, wet just your hair for rinsing, etc. The rain-shower heads either dump water indiscriminately all over you, or if you want to, say, just wet your hair, you have to step out of the way of the water and contort yourself to get just your head wet. I really, really, really dislike them. For the faults, I like the Grohe Bauloop, and I think the first one for the tub. Also really dislike faucets with the on/off handle on one side. Really makes them difficult to use, so if you have something in your right hand, you have to reach over with your left to turn it on or off. Not a practical design, IMO.
