I've shown you the Kohler petite vanity before. We saw it in the showroom paired with the Kohler Lyntier bridge faucet and it looked divine. The vintage faucet style has some oompfh and the high gooseneck design gives some clearance above the somewhat shallow sink bowl.
In the shower, we went a bit more modern in style. It was all the salesman's fault! :) He showed us different options if we mixed and matched pieces from different lines... I didn't even know you could do that. A few of our requirements:
- A slide bar with handspray in place of a fixed showerhead. This would make it easy to accomodate my and HandyMan's different heights, and easy so I could take the handspray down to clean the tub or soon Baby HandyLuster
- A thermostatic valve so we could set an automatic optimal water temperature
We ended up with the valve from Grohe (though ours will be a double-valve with thermostatic and volume control), and Hansgrohe slide bar and handspray. The Unica slidebar the salesman recommended has a pin that you use to lock the location of the handspray along the bar. He said it was better than other 'suction' type models which tend to slip over time.
For the handspray, okay, maybe we went a little overboard. We got the Raindance E150 Air Jet model. It is oversized at 6" and when coupled with the slidebar, it can be tilted overhead to function more like a rain showerhead. The "Air Jet" part is pretty cool... it injects a stream of air along with the water, which makes it feel like you have more water pressure. Supposedly it will feel like taking a shower in a waterfall. Sounds pretty yummy to me!! Now I just have to sit wait before I can enjoy all this watery goodness.
