Ezzie, I'm not trying to rain on your parade, but putting travertine next to fiberglass seems like hanging a crystal chandelier over a card table. Maybe you could remove the surround, replace the tub with a solid one ($$$), and tile the surround and floor? Then you'd have higher quality materials across the board. I've got a heavy old porcelain coated tub and I ripped out the nasty fiberglass surround, put 3 or 4 ml plastic sheeting on the studs, cement board, and tiled it with porcelain wall tile. John Bridge has an outstanding tiling forum to answer all your questions. I would either go all out for the great bathroom or save your money.

Wow - you have a very talented husband to build that unit and a VERY talented painter. That really looks like a stained piece of furniture. You must be thrilled!

ok,,but can't we see the room? I understand the pallet wall isn't in yet, but it would be nice to see the actual room layout. whats on the floor? what furniture is in there? hows the lighting? lets see the actual fireplace in the basement. BTW, I love this black fireplace you've done in your living room. great colors. If I may make one suggestion? remove that white mantle, it's too traditional looking, and replace w/a wood one stained dark like your pallet colors something like this. this wood looks way better than that white something around this size (if you could find a nice piece of walnut, it'd be perfect) Here,,I photoshopped it for you so you can see and more of a reclaimed piece

you want to update the functionality of the intercom, or the cover? or both? you can use Echo as an intercom if you have more than one, although I know some people don't like these types of devices.
