My parents house is like that, but there’s a wall with a wide doorway into the area with the vanity, so it’s open but also easy to close off by just putting a curtain rail up. It’s also oriented to the room such that if you only use enough light at the vanity to wash your hands for a midnight potty run, it really isn’t enough to bother someone in the bed if you place the bed sensibly. Getting ready in the morning would be trickier if you needed to do makeup and so on so needed proper lighting, so that’s where a screen or a curtain would come in.

olychick, thank you for taking a look. :) I'm relieved to hear you think a white shower pan is best. I am heading out now to find porcelain marble look tiles for the shower walls to pick up the gray as you suggested. I want a shiny finish to the walls. Tell me if you think that's a misstep. I am avoiding marble as I have a marble topped vanity now that is pock marked with etchings. As far as seeing myself in the vanity, yes, I think I will be able to do so. I was planning on a black framed mirror spanning the vanity. My current vanity is 32 1/4" high (as will be the new vanity) and when seated on my vanity stool my reflection is seen up to my chest. The only issue currently is that my knees are pressed against drawers. I failed to mention that I was thinking of using absolute black granite for the vanity top for two reasons: one being cost and the other being to avoid etching. Will doing so deviate too much from my inspiration? Lastly, I had the idea of applying pieces of beveled mirror framed by black molding floor to ceiling along the back wall and continuing behind the toilet (similar to this only floor to ceiling with the exception of base molding & crown): [Traditional Bathroom[(https://www.houzz.com/photos/traditional-bathroom-ideas-phbr1-bp~t_712~s_2107) by Northbrook Architects & Building Designers Michael A.

Lovely! I like the classic white tile and porcelain and how you used furniture pieces in the bathroom. I love that the storage at the end of the tub has pull-outs that can be reached from the toilet. Your custom sink and backsplash and counter are unique and beautiful. Yours may be the first bathroom sink I have seen in which a small or medium dog could be washed! That is a good thing! I showed your pictures to my DH because I am thinking of classic tiled walls with a chair rail for when we redo our bath in a couple of years. He liked it! I was expecting him to say, "too old fashioned." He did not, he said it looked nice. From him, nice is a compliment. He even liked your rows of listello. I was just at the Tile Shop's site the other day looking at the Hampton tiles because someone was selling some on Craigslist. I am hoping to do as you did and get what I can cheaper there, and fill in the rest from the store. I can see that you worked very hard to secure all of your materials - and then cut the floor tiles to size and culled the Hampton tiles, too! You succeeded very well in getting the look you wanted while saving money along the way. Congratulations, and thank you for the pictures and great detail and supply list.

No matter where you put the tower, put an electrical outlet low and turned sideways on the outside (2 if your tower is in the middle). Also put an outlet inside for charging toothbrushes or a razor. Here’s a trick I learned on HOUZZ: I was looking at pictures of towers and I noticed one that had an extra piece of stone under it. It was like the tower was sitting on a cutting board. The HOUZZ designer said that is to protect the wood from water damage over the years. So we had our fabricator make an extra piece of marble, with the same edge profile as the counter, and the exact dimensions of the tower. That was placed in the middle and the tower placed on top of that. Also consider your ceiling height and if you want the tower to “float” or attach to the ceiling. Look at HOUZZ pics and you will see that some people let the tower float, others fur the ceiling down and put small can lights in there. Others tie the tower to the ceiling with trim work. If your ceilings are 8’ or so t’s pretty easy to just put normal trim. But ours are 10’ so we had to decide how to handle that. Sorry to go on so long but I’ve got opinions about towers obviously! IMO deep towers look too bulky, like someone stuck a kitchen cabinet on the vanity. Ours is only 9” deep. It’s plenty big for storage and doesn’t look bulky or loom large visually. It’s 15” wide. You can put a bank of drawers below in the same width as your tower. We love our tower. The ease of putting things away helps keep the area uncluttered.
