The floor tile is Imagine Tile's River Rocks line of tiles. The tile was laid right over the old tile floor. This made the whole floor a bit higher than it was, which was made up for with a new threshold.
The walls are painted flat white to cut down costs, only the shower area has been tiled, and the tile used was the most economical white stock tile.
The shelf with drawers and two cabinets above the mirror are by Duravit.
The sink is from Kohler.
The mirror came in after the rest of the fixtures, and was done at a local frame shop.
In the mirror, you can see a tall, narrow window that lets light from the bathroom out into the corridor. The shelf of the mirror is tiled with the same "River Rocks" Imagine tile as the floor.
The shower is by Hansgrohe, and includes both a hand shower and an overhead shower. The overhead shower can be used to stir up the bubble bath in the tub.
The bottom of the shower is one of the biggest innovations in this bathroom; we wanted a bathtub, but didn't have room for one that could seat two people. There is plenty of room for two people, but the tubs just don't come in the required size. Custom tubs are hard to come by and expensive. It is common to have a short ledge (a couple inches high) around a shower. We had the idea of making that ledge higher - 20 inches to be exact. This forms a sort of small swimming pool - effectively a square tub. It takes a while to fill, and but it works. You might think that a square tub would be uncomfortable to sit in, but when you are underwater, your body doesn't press as much into the corner.
Notice also the vertical column; this is where a steam riser is now enclosed in a poplar column covered with white tile, with an aluminum grid to allow it to heat the bathroom in the winter.
Our towels are kept warm by an electic towel-warmer. Above the towel warmer we keep our spare towels on the hotel rack.
The ceiling is our own design.
