Best Bargain Ever

Ok, we did our weekly house shopping trip and ended up at Home Depot, so Scott could look at the granite vanity top choices we have available (we're going to go with the grey 'Napoli' one). We looked around at other things too, such as faucets, tile, and toilets, and lo and behold on a clearance rack we found a stainless double robe/towel hook that was similar to, though not the same as, the type of faucet we are getting from Delta on sale for........... 1 cent each! yeah, $0.01! I splurged and went back and got the 3rd and last one of the shelf, thinking we could use it for a hand towel or something. It is close enough to the style we chose for the faucets, etc. that I think it was worth, um, 3 cents at least.
We also got some more ideas for tile for the shower. We went back to the same store where we got the vanity and found a really cool (but very expensive) glass mosaic that we like for a border in the shower - we'll see if we can find something similar at the Tile showroom used by the "tile guy". See the one on the right:
We haven't found anything we like other than a classic white subway tile for the main part of the shower, but I think that will give it a classic look. And we are looking a shower doors in a catalog too - again, who knew there were so many choices. I favor the plain clear glass frameless, but Scott would like a little more privacy with a 'steam mist' glass....a decision we still have to battle out.
Speaking of the shower, here is the framing for the shower, with the bench:


Here's the area of the vanity, with the area of the custom medicine cabinet to the right, and the plumbing and electricity ready to go:


Here's a little triangular shelf alcove at the top of the stairs on the landing (this was my sister Rose's idea - thanks Rose!):


The HVAC people will be continuing their work tomorrow evening for our new central air/furnace that is going upstairs.
