That is a shit load of light fixtures, but none of them seem to put out very much light.

I’ll take none of the above, thanks.

Bathroom sink view reminds me of something in a trendy restaurant. The round dome wall-hangers in brass could be direct from 1981.

That shower is pretty nice

I actually like that second one. That last one though is comically bad.

So notes on the shower:

Glass looks good so I guess you did your job

I really like the herringbone pattern marble (or whatever that’s called)

I really dislike that the “cubby ” is not centered in it’s space (maybe that would make it harder to reach things from the bench, but in that case, just expand it to fill that space).

I’m surprised it doesn’t have big rainfall shower heads to fill the space, are those falling out of style?

For such an expensive looking bathroom it’s really glaring that the fan has the “cheapest thing at Home Depot” look going on.

These light fixtures make me feel like it’s in a prison or other type of place you wouldn’t choose to be, while a handful of these just look like a house...

I like the shower and the living room that opens onto the deck but you can keep everything else.

I love the shower (nice work!) but is it just normal Sheetrock on the ceiling? Won’t that not handle water well? Plus those lights seem...not sealed very well. Plus who sits in the shower?

I want the one with semi-random all-directions bulbs to be able to fire them out of the fixture in all directions at the press of a button. Murderously.

As a minimum you use greenboard, best practice is to use cement board. Both look like regular drywall when they’re painted. Also, women like places to sit to shave their thangs.

How much was the shower? I’m gonna want one just like that in my new house..

Idk man, I’d be more in favor of completely tiling everything.

Also I’ve lived with a lot of women, I’ve never known one who wants to sit. Have a leg stand, sure, but sitting seems cold

I sit to shave thangs ;) 20 minutes of shaving every other day/3rd day sucks. The things we do to be “pretty.”

About six running Paseos. This is a bigly 11' x 5' x 8 .5' pan , clamps, curb to the soffit , 1/2" thick glass, towel bars, glass to glass hinges, matt e black hardware ... Basically the most expensive thing you can do with this space, without upgrading to starphire glass anyway .

I always recommend customers have their ceilings/soffits tiled but almost always they do not. And for load-bearing purposes, sometimes the glass MUST go the soffit. It’s also a much more stout design.

As for the water, there are ~1/8" to ~1/4" gaps between the top of the glass and sheetrock, so that water does collect against the glass and eat at the sheetrock over time. Also why the clamps design is better if you didn't design the pan as a true steamer. If you use the track design, you will potentially have water resting against the sheetrock because the tracked is screwed directly to the sheetrock so the metal does not allow for those gaps the clamps offer.

Sounds about right, I’ll be making my own again. The last one I did turned out nice and it wasn’t that much

I’m feeling this in a nasty , silly way. Good work. These lighting fixtures I see, if one is interested in acquiring some similar, to where would you point one?

That all sounds...basically exactly like I’d expect and exactly why I’d tile the whole thing. Also heavy-ass pieces of glass not attached to a soffit seems suicidal. People do weird stuff to save a penny.
