I have two daughters under the age of ten, and we recently did a minor remodel of their bathroom. The MOST important thing I wanted for their bath were one handled lever sinks, like that Kohler one in the commercial. Little kids will turn on the hot water knob and scald themselve-it's easier for them to adjust the one lever than to try and remember which knob is the hot water and the cold. Plus they tend to just turn on and off the lever and not move it from side to side anyway so it's always on warm. The other thing we did was put in a speckled blue corian counter top. I think it was called Mediterranean, anyway, it's EXCELLENT at hiding toothpaste. My kids are kind of messy and I was so sick of always seeing white and blue toothpaste all over the place every morning. The corian totally hides it! If you can do a deep tub, it'll keep more of the splashes in. You can sit on a stool to wash them. We've had some major water spillage when they splashed too much in the shallow tub...

Benjesbride, where does she lose the 2"? It appears that she is not aware of the loss. Rebeccamomof123, are you pulling permits to do the work, or do you live in an area where the city/town/county inspectors are going to become aware of the work and expect to come in and inspect it? Or is your area more like where I live and anything short of an addition is something that no one will notice and that inspectors don't drop in when workmen are around unless it is really obvious that a big job is being done? The reason I ask is that your clearance for the toilet-to-tub distance is right on the edge of being okay. Some towns will not let you get that close. If you could get inspected by the code enforcement officer, or if you are doing this with permits, you need to draw this up and get it approved before assuming it is going to be approved. If you need to steal back a couple of inches to make it fit, one option is a wall-hung toilet. Your contractor opens up the wall behind your toilet and puts the tank and flushing works inside the wall (not the stuff you have, it is custom made for this purpose) and then the toilet part actually hangs off the wall and never touches the floor. It is much nicer for cleaning. All of Europe has been doing it this way for years, I hear. http://www.geberitnorthamerica.com/en_us/target_groups/enduser/products_enduser/toilets_2/concealed_systems_1/for_toilets_1.html

Although it is not your glam, the color is neutral gray and that fits your scheme. I wish there was one w/out the faux FP, but that might be a feature that draws him to it. What will go in it? Glass doors are nice to protect DVD players, etc. https://www.restorationhardware.com/catalog/category/collections.jsp?categoryId=cat3850077 change knobs for a glam look https://www.livingspaces.com/pdp-sinclair-grey-74-inch-tv-console-94752?utm_medium=products&utm_source=google&utm_campaign=Ci_PLA_Shopping_II&landing=product_listing&lsft=utm_source:google,utm_medium:cpc,utm_campaign:Shopping_Tier_3,adgroup:Furniture_Media_TV_Console&gclid=CjwKCAiA_ojVBRAlEiwAOLRxI7YqPXsPiJjGVJCLi0iQrfVHAy3b-0lXAn0Sqkj58Lnn2SY9f9c_OxoC9tsQAvD_BwE

Update just still prepping. Put a huge soap niche. Large almost wall to wall. Put in little bench/shelf on right will use small marble slab 5”x32” for shelf Using mother of pearl with marble in niche Using marble stacked large subway 6x18” on walls and floor. Thoughts?
