- finding a tub with the drain in the centre so that you don't have a drain at your back/feet inside the tub
- finding a reasonably-priced (non-existant) double-sink
- finding a vanity to accommodate said sink (possible if you want to sink thousands into a vanity)... we will likely go custom-made to keep costs down
- finding faucets that offer optimal quality-price while still pleasing Jonathan's taste for faucet beauty
After several weeks of fixture-hunting, we ordered everything except the medicine cabinet (hence the 'almost all chosen') today at Batimat. Here are the fixtures we bought:
Bathtub (Bain Ultra, Origami 7236):
The toilet (Kohler, Persuade) - it's a double flusher:
The sink (Duravit, Vero) - note there will not be a faucet in the middle:
The wall-mounted faucets (AquaBrass, Volare) - we will not have the exact handle shown in the photo; it will more of a straight-line handle. And, there will be 2 faucets, one for each of us.
The matching faucet set for the bath (again, handles will be straight and slightly shorter, and not curvy as shown):
The shower faucet kit resembles the fixtures above; can't find the exact picture though. There will be a hand-shower that can move up and down a fixed bar, as well as an overhead rain-shower-head thing.
Other extras included pop-up drain for the sink and drain for the bath; hidden costs that they don't tell you when you look at the initial price.
Here is a photo of Marie-Claude at Batimat; we spent many hours with her and she was very helpful! After shopping around the city at various plumbing supply stores, we gave the business to Batimat because they really spent a ton of time with us and had lots of patience!
Finally, after it was done, we celebrated at Snowdon Deli. On the way, Jonathan took a beautiful picture of the icy bushes; testament to the rain, snow and incredibly cold weather we had this past week:
