It does a great job warming and drying the towels - with the caveat that applies to all towel warmers which is they can't be wet and folded on top of each other to dry quickly. It's a little tricky to fit two towels on it but I think that width issue applies to all towel warmers and this is the standard size.

My younger daughter has taken to hanging her school uniform on it so it's warm when she puts it on in the morning. :-)

We're putting in a second one in our master bathroom!

- Additional blocking in the framing stage to accomodate grab bars, towel bars etc. Additional blocking being the slidebar of the shower also makes it sturdier to use as a grab bar.
- Kerdi board for waterproofing
- Heated wires throughout the floor including the shower area
- Tall niches with shelves sized to fit the costco sized bottles
- Tile that is not too slippery for the floor. Also used epoxy grout to make future maintenance easier.
- frameless shower doors - we did pay a couple hundred dollars extra for the really clear glass
- U-groove frameless
- One of the bathrooms is curbless to accomodate access issues. Has nice looking grab bars and a folding teak shower seat that is ADA rated to 400lbs.
- LED cans (california code)
- Elongated Toto skirted toilets with sanigloss to make the cleaning easier
- the special lutron switches where the fans stay on an extra 20 mins to clear all the steam. we used them with panasonic fans which are much much quieter than what we had in the past
- wall mounted heated towel rods
- hooks instead of towel bars.. I just preferred the more streamlined look of hooks
- plug outlets inside the vanity to charge things.
- wheeled laundry basket with divers to sort laundry has a niche to be tucked in.
- separate toilet stall with a door. We did not do comfort height as we are not overly tall people. Elongated toto toilets with an integrated skirt to make cleaning easier and a GFCI outlet to plug in a washlet.
- paper towel holder from Moen that doubles as a grab bar in the ADA bathroom.
- accomodated for daylight (skylight or a window) in both the bathrooms to help people to wake up in the morning.. I love the daylight.
- radio for listening in the morning. We are big public radio fans
- wall mounted lighted makeup mirror
- mirror defogger to prevent the mirror from getting steamed up..
- vac pan at the floor level that connects to our central vac system to make daily cleanups a breeze. I am picky about hair on the floor
- solid core doors to prevent bathroom noises from being heard outside. I often have to get ready before dawn and the shower noise wakes DH up.
- recirculating pump for our tankless to avoid warm water delays. Ours is integrated into the tankless.
- Hansgrohe ibox to get the thermostatic control to preset the preferred temprature
- Ebbe integrated drain that has a hidden hair snare.
- Handheld shower with a longer hose to make it easier to clean the walls.
- rain shower on a longer arm so that you can stand away from the wall.

Best, too-late for us advice, have TWO sensors installed. You only have to connect one to the timer/switch, but you will have a back-up if the first one ever fails. I don't know how often that happens, but the sensors are cheap enough and better to have it and not need it....simple thing to do.

When that tip was posted here, by stacyneil I think (after we had completed our reno's), DH kicked himself for not thinking of it while ours were being installed.

Ours were installed by our tile guy as well.

If you can overcome the stigma of Ikea in your home, then you can dance all the way to the bank. Dress the cabinets up with quartz or granite, nice appliances and a backsplace...no one will ever know (unless they open the drawer and see the ikea tag on the side!)

Current windows are Certainteed. Haven't needed to use the warranty, but we're happy with them. Milgard had raised their prices too much, so we went with Certainteed.

Not limited to andersen or pella. We went w/ weathershield and feel they are a notch above andersen/pella.All are quality but we got a better u-value/r-value that andersen/pella didn't offer.

Mcfeeleys rocks as well.

We had to buy a whole slab of quartz b/c we needed it for the counters, but if you just need a threshold, you should check around at fabricators to see if you can find a remnant. Our guy had a lot of white quartz leftover in his remnant pile.

Michelle16 used the same tile in her laundry and she loves it too.

The original photos showed the veining a bit darker in color. What do you think?

The floors are really neat. They are called Fibra Grey and look a bit like linen. The manufacturer is Atlas Concorde. Ann Sacks has a similar tile and a few times the cost. These were $8 a sq ft. Here's a link so you can see a bit more detail: http://www.mosaictileco.com/atlas_concorde_fibra_grey_porcelain_tiles_options.htm

The wall tiles are Porcelanosa Cubica Blanco. I don't think I can photograph them to capture just how nifty they are. They almost look like a mosaic and have a faint metallic sheen to them.

The deco strip in the shower is a brushed stainless tile stick tile with varying sizes. That was my big splurge tile wise.

The shower floor is 1 x 1 tumbled carrera marble.

The tile is AO catarina white. I think our shower is 4x5.
