This old thread got revisited. @dani_m08 to answer the question about extra probe, I believe I ordered an extra one when I bought the set up. The probe wire is just setting in the junction box I think but honestly I cant remember. When I laid out the underfloor heating and the probe, I just ran another probe near the first probe, and it was then sealed into the floor self leveling compound as per instructions. then the end was just threaded into the wall like the one that would be live, and not connected, but just laying there in the box. Regarding the tile layout. I just decided to run it this way, after getting instructions on the 90Degree way, IIRC. The herringbone that I love is from my childhood and the side walks in my neighborhood that all ran at 45Degree. so that to me is herringbone. I know you posted on @sochi thread about her amazing bathroom and a wall mounted faucet. I would totally do it if I had the right sink for it. In my case I had made my sink out of soapstone and an integrated backsplash. The pictures of this bathroom reveal are no longer available because of the use of photo bucket, when it was Gardenweb. I did not keep my account with photo bucket. I'll add some of the reveal pictures so you can see the sink and floor. Regarding the sink there is no ledge for water to drip from my hands when using the faucet. The water drips right into the sink. In my other bathroom with a deck mounted faucet I am always wiping up drips and it is a nuisance. I much prefer the setup for this sink. Below: I love the flush finish from the faucet to the bottom of the sink. nothing drips on a counter or edge of a sink. Below: looking in from the doorway. Below: Here I am finishing up the sink. the backsplash was epoxied on as a separate piece. The whole soapstone install in the room took next to nothing to buy as they were all small pieces that I epoxied together with a 3 part stone epoxy. Below: this is the counter at the tub, and is in 2 long pieces but I was able to epoxy them together at there edges to make a wide slab for the top. All the soapstone was finished with a 60 grit sandpaper to be rough and this lovely soft tone of blue/green/gray/white. I did not oil it so this color tone would remain light. Below: If I recall correctly @sochi helped me decide on this Hubberton Forge Mirror. I have 3 different metals in this room, but they are all a cool silver to black color. Below: the center of this tower shares space with the kitchen on the other side of the wall. there is also some extra space that houses some electrical wiring. this is an old simple house. this bathroom was an add on when it got move to the farm in the 30s IIRC. The plumbing was all rearrange and some of the details that were orignially there I kept but updated it, such as this tower feature. The old one went and the carpenter did a wonderful job with this one. Below: This feature was another thing I kept from the old bathroom but flipped it from the other end and had the carpenter put drawers in it. Before it was a hell hole. things got lost and the build was soooo old and creapy I didn't like using it for storage. Now it is perfect for storage.

Well now if you stop worrying about every little freaking thing, what happens to us??? We're unemployed ;-) I'm trying to picture your layout but honestly it isn't clear to me. Generally I like to see something other than a 50/50 split but there are other things that come into play - how does that 50/50 or 33/66 relate to the finished height of your vanity counters, to the windows (if any) either at sill or apron height. I like continuity, too and like to see some relation to other horizontal lines in a space - expecially a space like a bathroom. But that doesn't mean everything has to end at the same height, just that you need to put those other lines into the thought process so you don't end up with staggered and unrelated horizontal lines all through the space. Clear as mud?

And omg did not think about sanitary supplies!! Yeah, I get it. You don't think -- don't yet think -- of your little girls becoming women yet. Intellectually, you know they will, but that's not a thought that fits into your heart just yet. Says the mother of two girls, ages 20 and 23. Yes the closet is narrow! I’m nervous about giving up the bathroom space though. We do have a dresser also for the girls which I think will help. A dresser will give you more storage space, but the problem is that you won't have a walking aisle to reach the hanging clothing. Realistically, this is your space with a hanging rod and adult-sized clothing hanging -- note that you only have about the width of the hanger for walking space -- you'll have to walk sideways to get to the clothes on the far right: idea; try to put electrical outlets to charge toothbrushes if they will fit ...One large mirror over the vanity. Yes, put electrical outlets on both sides of the sink -- I personally wouldn't put them inside medicine cabinets; that'd mean the girls would have to leave the medicine cabinets open while using the hair dryer, etc. ... and that would take up space /block part of the mirror. Double-yes to a wide mirror. The girls will need more time for fixing their hair than they'll need using the sink. As far as under the cabinet, we decided not to over-customize the storage for blow dryer, etc (I've seen some pretty cool customized pull-outs, Yes, I agree. Don't lock yourself into one organization method. or the tub/shower combo, have the contractor install 4 corner shelves to hold all the shampoos, shaving stuff, etc. Corner shelves are less expensive to install than niches. If you want niches, that's fine too. They are just more expensive to install. If you do niches, put a wide one or a tall, divided one so that there is plenty of room for products. Very good advice. Whatever you choose -- corner shelves or niches -- put in more than you think they'll need. Make sure your storage is tall enough for the big pump-top shampoo bottles, and don't neglect a spot for soap. For me having towels in the bathroom itself means a lot of clothes left on the floor. I'll take the other side of that coin. I'd rather the kids dress /undress in the bathroom. Towels and clothes may end up on the bathroom floor, but I'd rather have them all on the floor in one place ... instead of strung out over the floors in the bathroom plus two bedrooms. What do you think about changing the pocket door to a regular door that swings into the wall opposite the toilet? To tell the truth, I'd lose that wall completely. You're talking about two sisters; they can share a plain bathroom. The wall makes the two rooms small, and at some point that pocket door will break (possibly in the closed position), and you'll have to get a handyman to come in and fix it, which might mean opening up the wall. Pocket doors are more finicky /easier to break than hinged doors, and children aren't great at being gentle with things. This bathroom is pretty small. I'd make it one room.

I have an update and would love to get some feedback before I order the final accessories. (Demo begins one week from today!) I got a quote for replacing the vanity with white cabinetry complete with a sitting area, plus hardwiring of sconces. The costs all added up to too much for me, so I'm sticking with my vanity and overhead lighting location. I feel great about my choices for tile, bath tub, paint, and fixtures. My worry is that all the little accessory details won't quite work together, diminishing the beauty of the bathroom as a whole. I need to buy the accessories soon; here's what I have in mind. With overhead lighting instead of sconces, I prefer one large mirror. The mirror is by Pottery Barn, a wooden frame with gold gilt, 72" x 36". Perfect size for the space, very very very hard to find. This is technically a floor-length mirror, so I hope it can be mounted horizontally! PB customer service was useless when asked. The lights are also PB, polished nickel. For practical reasons, I ruled out any overhead lights that take type B bulbs (too dim) and have fabric shades (too hard to clean). As a big plus, these are on sale for $170 each. Do they go with the mirror and the rest of the room? Chandelier is PB, 18" diameter, antique brass, UL-listed. This will be over the tub on a dimmer. It was hard to find a chandy that's not too big, ornate, and/or expensive. Knobs and pulls are glass and polished nickel from Restoration Hardware. Towel ring, TP roll, and hook are Ballard Design in polished nickel. Fabric for the roman shade is gray on cream linen. Shower bench is Signature Hardware in teak. I hope this will help tie in the wood of the vanity with the other side of the room. Towel warmer is polished stainless steel (no nickel option) from Signature Hardware. If anything doesn't quite mesh or looks wrong, I would love to hear, as well as any suggestions for alternatives!
