Our fixtures were installed today in our first-floor and third-floor bathrooms. The first-floor bathroom (left-hand photo) has a one-piece shower and tub unit, and the third-floor bathroom (right-hand photo) has a separate tub and shower. The shower fixture on the third floor will come after the shower is built. John and I have big plans to tile it ourselves, as well as the bathtub surround and wall. Yep, you read that right. Uh, oh. That's what I said, too.
It took us some time to find fixtures we liked at a reasonable price ($1,000 for a tap? Who pays that?), but we like the ones we chose. Have you ever seen those fixtures that look like shiny chrome phones? Those seem pretty popular, but they're just not for us. We also saw some crazy gold Donald Trump fixtures at one of the bathroom specialty stores. It's harder than you might think to find a simple tap set that doesn't look like you should drive it, dial it, or put it in a safety deposit box.
The missing piece on the left of the tub in the right-hand photo is for the rinsing wand (or whatever that thing is called). We probably wouldn't have chosen such a thing, but we bought the tub on sale and the holes were pre-drilled.
Thanks again, Dad and Allison, for letting us store the tub at your place. It's almost ready for us to draw you a bath!

That was no bother. I like the shower head. Looks like a gentle flow will be enjoyed as you lather up. Ok I'm stopping right there.
Everything looks practicle. really cool stuff.
