Sympathies in advance: Ours is in week 9 now but we are seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. All materials were ordered 3 months ahead by the GC and were available as of the start date. We knew that there would be built-in delays in the schedule, for example, while granite was templated and cut. However, further delays occurred as the granite broke in the final cuts and we needed to locate another acceptable slab, needed to change the glass supplier at the last minute as the first one suddenly couldn't meet requirements, etc. The noisiest part was the demolition in the first couple of days, so not so much of an issue although the vibrations wiggled loose the pot lights in our kitchen below! DH works from home and previously survived a kitchen reno, which took only 5 weeks in total, but was a much bigger disruption to the main living space. Luckily we were able to move out of the bedroom and use another full bath. The bedroom was well draped in plastic and the floor covered with boards and tarps, but it was a disaster. Inconvenient yes, but well worth the effort to temporarily relocate. Just make sure you move enough of your stuff, just in case...

Another vote for Kohler Ladena rectangular sink. We wanted to have a Toto sink, but it does not fit the counter space so the GC and his fabricator suggested this one in Biscuit color. It has nice shape, plenty big and very easy to clean. http://www.us.kohler.com/us/Ladena-20-7-8-X-14-3-8-X-8-1-8-under-mount-bathroom-sink-with-glazed-underside/productDetail/Under-mount-Sinks/417488.htm?brandId=651401&skuId=343219&categoryId=651399&page=catProductDetails&hash=id%3Dfilters%26startIndex%3D20%26scrollTop%3D0 This is the faucet used with the sink in brush nickel finish https://www.google.com/search?output=search&tbm=shop&q=Hansgrohe+Metris+110+Faucet+&oq=Hansgrohe+Metris+110+Faucet+&gs_l=products-cc.12...59893.62704.0.63975.1.1.0.0.0.0.132.132.0j1.1.0....0...1ac.1.32.products-cc..1.0.0.dB565hPALOg#spd=6816581953196250818 Easy clean is super important to me. Both the faucet and sink are modern, of wonderful quality and very very easy to clean. We are very happy with the choices.

Thanks for the feedback everyone! OK, we've had the plumber, electrician, and carpenter in, and we've talked ourselves into more surgery. New plan, really interested in any opinions, good or bad, on these choices....particluarly struggling on decision for the neo-angle base--CM, acrylic jacuzzi, tiled UGS, or tiled Kerdi?: 1. Lose the entire wall separating the 2 rooms of the master, including the existing shower wet wall! move the shower plumbing wall to same as toilet supply. Move drain. Going large neo angle to have a more open room, roomier shower, and it creates a perfect spot for a built in linen storage system (Time to bust out the kreg-jig!...or order furniture). Slight narrowing of door, and now I'm back to barn slider, but this may be a gametime decision. 2. ~48" neo angle shower base ---need help! Stuck between a. Kerdi/UGS system, with biltmore honed 2X2 tile floor (is the neo angle version of these systems too crazy for a homeowner to do? can't afford to pay a tile guy to laydown a muddeck and do the whole deal). Love the feel of tile underfoot. b. stay safe, but less fancy with a a jacuzzi 48" acrylic, or usmarble/solid surface neo angle base? we were happy enough w/ a Jacuzzi 42"neo in our old, smaller bathroom 3. Wife talked me out of pony walls/linear drain which is good, because i would have had to build them! Shower walls will be ceramic large subway with some cool biltmore/glass mosaic accent on the wall, probably as 2 vertical 12" stripe where the shower hardware is mounted, and on the other wall....or a horizontal stripe. Tiling to ceiling. We like the clean look of the kohler shower locker in lieu of messy tile niches, do these look ok, or cheap? Thought on this plan/size of shower, pan choice? 4 Moen Kingsley Regular constant pressure valve with diverter, rain shower head, and a handheld on a bar...standard but nice, and I've had nothing but good luck w/ Moen. Chrome, because we like it best, AND it's cheapest! 5. Decided to lose the towel warmer...too many variables/questions/$$$ 6. Sticking with the schluter tile warmer system...plenty of floor thickness to work with, and why not for $600 bucks. We really like the 1 ft square biltmore honed floor from Tile Shop. Price not bad. need to research how this works over heated and wear. If not, does anyone recommend a good, classic looking tile for the floor? Would 5" carrara hex (sealed) work? Expensive, but we had this look in our old bath, loved the look and feel. The natural stone is a bit thicker than ceramic, and I'm worried about the heating being effective, or damaging the stone. (admittedly, i need to do some more research here) Here's the pic, of the layout, shower wall tile area/outline in green, wainscoated walls in blue. Thanks again for advice!

Real estate is so local - if you are doing this to help a future sale, definitely ask a good local realtor. In my area for resale I would put a (Kohler) frameless, recessed medicine cabinet centered above the sink. (I have finally rid my home of vanity-width mirrors - I agree with PP about watching yourself 'go,' and at least mine seemed dated (but probably b/c the rest of our baths were dated. I see no benefit to a mirror and then cabinet to the right: too cluttered for me (and why clean all that mirror?); and to get anything out of the medicine cabinet you have to reach over the toilet). For resale I'd definitely go simple, uncluttered and white for everything difficult to change. Unless the shower is about 5.5' long or more, I'd omit the built in seat and grab bar for resale unless the seat is inexpensive. (I am personally installing grab bars b/c I want them.) Get a cute colorful lightweight shower stool (amazon has a great one - we got green) for about $20 and remove it for open houses - it will make the shower look bigger. OH - and 1 item that doesn't cost more and is so great for you (and at least some buyers who know of it): if you are going to use glass on the shower stall, have the plumber put the on/off handle close to the entrance so you don't get wet when you turn it on. Then put the diverter (fixed/handheld transfer valve) under the shower heads. I always think its a miss when I go to a flip/spec house and they put the controls under the shower heads. And do 2 recessed shower niches on the shower walls so the bottles etc. are hidden from the view of the room (1 on wall w/toilet, one to left of shower heads). Will look less cluttered in a small bathroom. (FYI This will take planning at framing and rough plumbing stage. Alot of planning - like have your Ready-Niches on site before then. Ask me how I know...) But, again, real estate is so local so what I say could mean 0 to your area.
