Master bath

Here is our master bath floor plan. We dont have a ton of ideas for this yet when it comes to colors, but here are a few: 

We love the look of the river rock floor for the shower, its a pretty nice sized and will be glass on the outsides of it so it will have a real clean look. We will be going with 2 shower heads and a bench seat in the corner. There will be shampoo and soap cut outs in the wall so you wont have to look at the ugly metal things that eventually rust anyways. Looking for suggestions for brands of good shower heads. We arent into the massagers with cords or anything like that. Maybe a rain shower head? 

Aunt Patty, The house we are in right now has a roman shower... at first I loved it, its open and brighter than most showers but then I spent 2 years using it. First it has glass blocks for the partition the grout between them is thicker than most tile and has been a bear to keep clean. I think somewhere along the line it also cracked and is leaking next to the tub. (this just could be poor builder quality) I also noticed that I am using much more hot water to keep the temp up while I am showering.  I love the open feeling to it but I think I will pass on it this build. 

We will have separate sinks... This is working for us so far... I need my space in the bathroom. Sure I may not ever use my faucet (because I dont right now) but it will give me my quality make-up/ hair product space that is needed. I did find these above counter shelving that I am in love with, or I think I am in love with them right now... :/ I have never been great at decisions. (except for my husband choice)

This is my side, this sketch was also done before the vanity was moved to the other side. The sinks will end up directly across from each other and I will not be putting on my makeup next to the toilet room. Gross. yea. No built-in Medicine Cabs I really dont like the look of them. (your home pharmacy should not be exposed to the moisture of a bathroom)   

This sketch I was asking for built-ins where the tub is going to be but I would lose my corner units if we did this so I passed on them and will end up doing some sort of shelving here. The bath will also be completely covered on top so it ends up being a flat surface. See photo on bottom. 

Love the look of the marble on top and black mosaic tile on the bottom. Sure the tub is not going to be set in the middle of the room (thats the next house we build) but the tub we have now has this yuck bland tile around it in 4x4 squares. Try washing a dirty dog who tries to escape... yea that grout isnt so white anymore. Wiping down a solid slab will be so much easier! Yes... it will be a soaking tub, I have one now and I love it... I will miss it when we move to our 8 month house. 

We recently went to a home show (never again because we entered to win a home depot gift card and were signed up to win a "free" disney vacation, jerks) anywho... we did find this company called Cambria. Its a natural quartz company who had some very beautiful slabs to look at, its a little less porous than granite so we might be using it here in the bathroom.  click this link to see some of the collection: Cambria Website

We really loved the jewel collection but we will revisit that when we get a little closer to that point. Also Cambria quartz has a lower carbon footprint when compared other companies. It is also American  made so that makes it a huge plus to us!

I have some sad news... 

My dreams of soaking in my lovely tub filled with bubbles while eating oreos and sipping on a glass of wine and leaning back to look at a glorious chandelier have been dashed by The Hubs. He doesnt want this look: 

He hates the look of the light fixture. :( this makes me sad. I will not feel like a queen while I decompress in the tub... This also goes for over the dining room table but I will show you what I found for that fixture soon! 

I found this guy up here tonight that I will spring on The Hubs next time he comes out of the room! Maybe he will fall in love with this... just kidding. He makes fun of me for looking at this stuff for hours on end but I make fun of him for yelling at the video gamers like a fool ;) The silly man would probably be okay with pot lights all over the house if it were up to him. 

Kidding again! He's a good man for letting this huge project of this home be my baby for a while! He trusts my decisions (for the most part, we all know I can get a little sparkle crazy sometimes).
