Bath fixtures

While I harbor no illusions that anyone is interested in our fixtures list, we've spent so much time on it that it would be a shame not to include it. Dawn asked me not to include prices, but I can say it will be about $30,000 total, not including the kitchen. Ouch. (Apologies to homeclick.net for linking to their images. If you click on a product, it will take you to their web site.)
ProductColorQty.
Bain Ultra Balneo Cella (72 x 40 x 27) clawfoot whirlpool air bathWhite 1
Kathryn's room. Alternative: Aquatic Whirlpools Serenity X (as in "10") -- looks the same, but much less.
Sanijet model 360 42" x 72" 6-jet pipeless whirlpool bathWhite 2
Summer Kitchen, Paymaster's Office.
Maax Stamina 48-I One-Piece Shower, Left Hand SeatWhite 3
One-piece for our bath, Paymaster's office; three-piece for Summer Kitchen. (No way to get a one-piece upstairs.). Need to decide if we want a roof cap, and clear or obscure glass doors..
Maax Studio One Piece Tub Shower White1
Boys' room. I tried to talk Dawn into putting in a whirlpool tub here as well, but she said no.
Maax Bistro II One-Piece Round ShowerWhite2
Kathryn's room and Bill's room. Getting it into Bill's room may be a challenge..
Maax Bistro II/Optima Round Clear Sliding Door w/ Lateral OpeningChrome2
Kathryn's room and Bill'sroom. (Tempered glass--do not want plastic!)
Kohler Memoirs 27'' Pedestal Lavatory w/ Classic DesignWhite2
Boys' room, Summer Kitchen. (Too deep for other bathrooms) Ignore black photo; sink will be white.
Kohler Memoirs 24'' Pedestal Lavatory w/ Classic DesignWhite4
Kathryn's room, our bath, Paymaster's Office, powder room. Ignore biscuit photo; all bath fixtures will be white. Note: Kohler Kathryn sink is 27" x 20" but it is more expensive, 24" wide is more than adequate, and the Memoir looks nicer. For our bath, probably want a 30" vanity with drawers and storage instead!
St.Thomas Barrymore Corner Pedestal Lavatory (24 1/4'' x 22'' x 34 3/4'' H)White1
Bill's room. Not sure how to hang a vanity mirror in the corner.
Toto Drake ADA Two Piece ToiletColonial White6
All baths except powder room. ADA is taller than regular toilet, and has an elongated seat.
Toto Ultimate Toilet 1.6 GPF with Round Front BowlColonial White1
Powder room. (Still going to be a tight fit.)
Toto Softclose Seat (Elongated)Colonial White6
All baths except powder room. (Ultimate comes with one.) This is too cool -- when you drop the slid, it slowly closes. I'm sure it will freak a lot of people out.
Nutone SmartSense 110 CFM Exhaust Fan (Humidity Sensor) 6
All baths except powder room. Not quiet, but humidity-controlled.
Nutone Duct-Free Fan/Light 1
Powder room. Since no existing duct, this just uses activated charcoal to recirculate the air. Built-in light.
Bosch AquaStar 125B Gas Water HeaterPropane3
Summer kitchen, Paymaster's Office, and radiant heat in mansion. This will produce 3 gal/minute, on demand, without any tank. Just don't try and run the bath and shower at the same time.

Addendum: After posting this, our plumber contacted Sanijet to get pricing, and they said they not only knew about Speedwell Forge, but had even gotten referrals from this journal! I'm not sure how that is possible, but in any case it didn't translate to any discount for us, so I'm not going to worry about it.

I will mention (for free) that we're using Sanijet because they don't have any pipes, so when you empty and clean the bath, it's really empty and really clean. If you want to see something disgusting, order their promotional video, which shows what's in the pipes of a conventional whirlpool tub. Let's just say I'll never be using one of those again...

Unfortunately, they don't make a clawfoot model, which we really wanted for Kathryn's bath, so we're getting an "air tub" instead. That also doesn't have pipes, but it does have a loud air blower, which we're going to put upstairs in the attic area. During my last visit we taped off Kathryn's bath, and with a 6' x 3.5' clawfoot whirlpool tub, it's going to be nice.
