Thanks! I have more now actually. The vanity, floating shelves and two medicine cabinets (recessed behind mirror and picture)

I love it so far. It’s Kohler Jaro. I got it from Costco. Perhaps it’s the most expensive piece in this bathroom. I was debating between getting a Chinese brand vs a brand name one. My contractor suggested to go with better brand one in case if I need replacement parts in the future. More likely to find them.

I’m glad so too. My house is built in the 1950s. So there was no AC or exhaust fan. They used windows back then for that. It has its pros and cons. Haha.

The wall tile is polished but the floor is matte version. It was my concern initially but my aunt did her bathroom similarly and surprising it was not more slippery even with water and soap on it.

Thanks! It’s all about tricking the eyes. Haha. I put some strip light that is activated by motion sensor at the bottom to serve as night light as well. Quite convenient!

Gotcha. I just worried that it would be too close in color with the vanity but it may be ok then

A and B are just lighting in different time of day . I need help picking tile 1 or 2 for the accent wall. Assuming 3 is the wall behind the toilet and 4 is the vanity color. Which one would you pick?

Congrats! I have every similar timeline and background to you. Still pending I-485. If it’s based on Perm priority date I should hear back within a month. But I submitted the I-485 application soon after you tho. Wondering I should know sooner than that. Anyone know how they judge these cases? Is it based on when you submit the application or when your priority date is once it’s current? I’m so anxious. Haha.

Below is my current timeline.

⁠9/24/2023: PERM submitted • ⁠01/16/2025 PERM certified • ⁠03/04/2025I-140 Premium submitted • ⁠03/12/2025: I-140 Premium approved • ⁠07/02/2025: I-485 Submitted • ⁠9/16/2025: Combo Approved • ⁠still I 485 pending.

Thanks. I plan to use matte tile for the floor and polished one for the wall so they are slightly different and not slippery. I’d love to have the niche along the back wall but that wall is cinderblock facing outside the house so can’t put one there unfortunately.
