SWMBO picked this handheld shower.  it has 3 features, but I like the aerated setting the best so far.

No picture of me soaking in the tub (for multiple reasons!) but the Kohler Archer Tub is very nice and deep. It takes long time to fill and also probably using a lot of water, but the extra depth compare to what we have in our guest bathroom (which I was always using) is really nice when you want to soak and relax.

After going about a couple thousand dollars over our original plan, we still think it was well worth the money and handwork. We can enjoy this new bathroom for years to come, and it is something we’ll use everyday. We are happy with our selection of the materials, and the quality of work done. Thanks so much to Rick for all the help and teaching!
