I'd recommend ditching the built-in bench. Any time there is a special needs type of shower it's usually better to have a movable stool or bench. You could even have both. A moveable bench-for-two where your built-in bench is on the plan. Then a stool in the southwest corner of the shower, immediately to the left as you enter. Wood is always warmer on the skin than tile. Example, you could pull the stool over by the door for you child to sit upon while you stand at the shower entry using the handheld. I'd put your handheld on a vertical bar at the midpoint of the north wall. I'd have the valve that controls that head to the right of it, on the right side of the north wall, just inside the entry. Near that valve, I'd also add a wall bracket for the handheld. When the handheld is used in typical fashion, it can remain on the vertical bar. When you need it to bathe your child, you can hang it on the wall bracket by the door when needed. A "third hand" so to speak. It can also be at a convenient height as needed. Wall brackets are fairly inexpensive. You could even put two in there, one low, another up higher. Put a long hose on the handheld. Consider an 8' hose. It'll be easier to maneuver. I'd mount the fixed head midpoint on the south wall. If you're going with separate supply valves for the two heads, which I recommend you do, I'd also have the valve for the fixed head by the door near the handheld valve. Your shower is large enough for two bathers, so two independent supply valves allows two different shower temperatures.

Deee...it's difficult to give concrete advice without more information about you and your family, the space you have to work with, and the surrounding rooms. If you could post a floor plan and answer some questions, I think you will get more help. For information on asking for layout help, see the link below. I'm not putting you off, it's just that without enough information it's difficult to advise you. Good luck & keep posting! +++++ From the "Read Me" Thread +++++ The following thread contains the information we need to help you find a layout that works for you and your family as well as how to draw up and label a floor plan. Asking for Layout Help What are zones and how do you design with them in mind? What are zones and how do you design with them in mind? A piece of advice: When you post a layout for comments, please do not take the comments you receive personally. Everyone here is trying to help, not criticize maliciously. We want you to have a kitchen that, in the end, functions wonderfully well and looks nice overall. This may mean that some of us may tear apart your layout and rebuild it to what we think will work better, but it's done with good intentions. We're not the best at just "validating" someones layout, we're best at critiquing! I will warn you that most of us here are "function over form" (or "function first")...meaning we strive first for a functional layout and then fit the form or look around it. It is far easier to make a functional kitchen look nice than it is to make a nice looking but dysfunctional kitchen functional. So, if you are a form/looks over function person, be sure to state that when you post. Some people here think "function over form" means that we want all kitchens to look the same....not true! What we do want is all kitchens to function well...which means that in 99% of the cases, the workflow is the same...so that will mean some similarities due to workflow. However, as each kitchen is unique, each will have its own unique quirks, etc. In the end, remember this is your kitchen. You don't have to make any of the recommended changes if you don't want to! [Note: If you're just posting for validation of your layout (i.e., you don't want comments that suggest changes), state that as well. If you don't, people will comment on it! Warning: People may comment anyway, it's tough to let a kitchen go that you think is dysfunctional and will cause angst later...especially if it's not yet installed and we think we can help. Bear with us, we're just trying to help!] Here is a link that might be useful: New To Kitchens? Posting Pics? Read Me!

Hmm, I don't like either of the two layouts much, and I am a peninsula lover. It just seems that with an 11' x 16' space, it shouldn't be so cramped. And yet, an 8' wide table space is crampy, I think. Will the DW be housed in some kind of cabinet, or will it have some kind of paneling over the back and open side to match the rest of the peninsula cabs? I don't know if that will work, especially if you have a heavy countertop material. You might need a cabinet on the other side of DW. It's hard to tell, even in the old thread, how big all the windows are at the end of the kitchen. Do you have two sliders at that end, plus a really wide window? How far from the floor does that big wide window go? Seems like this space should be more useable somehow! Oh, I do see something in the old thread where bmorepanic referred to getting rid of one of the sliders...I think that's a good idea. I would possibly turn the other slider into a single door rather than a double slider; that will get you some deeper useable space near the wall. Anyone remember that small kitchen a couple years ago where they did that? Seemed to work well. If you're going to stick w/ the peninsula plan, what about getting rid of the slider on the fam room side of the kitchen? You'd have more room for a longer bank of cabs where you have the cooktop; instead of a table, have an overhang, which would take up less space. Sorry it's too late for me to draw; I need some sleep!

So with the C&B Basque table in Gray Wash and the West Elm mirror, which chairs would match best?
