Master Bathroom Ideas

Insipration Done.  But you know what really grinds my gears?  I need to pick out a rough in valve to finish the rough plumbing.  I'm shopping around and am finding that a $200-$300 shower kit that looks nice that is supposed to be "brushed nickel" is actually  made of mostly PLASTIC!  Check it out for yourself ... Delta In2ition shower kit at home depot ... $219 ... freaking plastic.  And that is what really grinds my gears.



To keep Miceli contracting on the move we decided to have them do all the tile work.  Great!  The only problem was that I needed the tile right away and special order would just not cut it.  That being said the tile I needed to get for the master was a shade darker than I wanted ... but it will look great once we get light and other finishings into the room ...

Note the tile is much more gray than the inspiration pictures.  In fact, this tile actually matches the countertop in the inspiration.  The floors are carrerra white marble which has grey veins in it.  The vanity is a pure white shaker style.  The paint is Sherwin Williams Ancient Marble.  That is the light greyish/green that Roddy really liked.

I need to pick out the vanity top and the shower seat.  Of course, the shower seat stone are the pieces that are fabricated for the entry into the shower and the tops of the knee walls that the glass enclosure will sit on.

Already installed:

Grey subway tile surround
white shaker vanity
white carrerra marble floors

Need to select:

Vanity top
Shower seat
Backsplash

Option 1:

Light grey vanity top, white subway tile back splash, and white quartz shower seat.

My main concern here is too much going on.  I can't use the light grey for the seat and backsplash because fabricator does not have enough.




Option 2:

Some combination of the above, but just use a DARK gray quartz that matches the shower subway tile (see pic below). The fabricator has enough dark gray quartz that I can use the same product for the backspash, top, and shower seat if I want to.  My main concern here is that the dark gray top does not match the tile exactly, but the slight contrast looks awkward.   Also, that it is too dark.


Option 3) Others?
