Well, I heard from our tile store that they’re just waiting on our tile to clear customs as it shipped right from Italy! So, it looks like it will be full speed ahead on our master bath very soon. We are still finalizing the vanity. I can’t tell you how much stress it’s creating for me. I have the bottom the way I want it, but cannot find what I want on top. The company I am working with is fabulous, but the renderings never match what I have in my head and keeps sending us back to the drawing board. I have to finalize today or tomorrow or we will have a big set back.
Good news is the toilet we decided on will be arriving tomorrow. I went with American Standard since they are the brand I have right now for all of the toilets and sinks in our bathrooms. We knew we had to have certain features. We needed a 1.6 gallon per flush, elongated bowl, had to have a trap size of 2-3/8 in, but the most important thing is the flushing power. I wanted one of those toilets that you see them dumping everything down and it just flushes without a problem, I am talking ping-pong balls, dog food etc.
So working with the good folks at American Standard they recommended the Champion Series. I was very impressed at what I saw. There were fewer choices with the 1.6 gallon that we needed, but we found a one piece with everything we wanted and even had the soft close toilet seat with quick release hinges as an available option. The only thing I could not get was the concealed trap area. It’s not such an issue since it’s our master and our little ones usually use the other bathrooms. The Champion 4 Right Height Elongated One-Piece 1.6 gpf Toilet we choose also comes with the EverClean Surface, Power Wash Rim that cleans the bowl with each flush and it’s a chair height which they call right height.
We chose the flush lever in the brushed nickel to match our faucets, shower panel, and sinks. The reviews we read on the model we chose were excellent and that made us feel really good with our choice. I had to laugh when I read a review about the right height feature, one guy said it was so comfortable he could sit there all day, lol!!! So, we’ll let you know more when we receive it and get to the installation in the next couple of weeks. It’s getting exciting but now I must run and finalize the vanity.
