Truth be told, I'm a little freaked out by the maintenance of the white marble (two toddlers use this bath), but so far it seems to be holding up. We did have some funky grout issues with the shower floor (efflorescence and orange spots appearing), but they seemed to have cleared up on their own. Hopefully it won't be a maintenance nightmare. If anyone has any good cleaning tips for white marble, I'd love to hear them.

I still need some artwork for the wall above the bath and some curtains, but the room is ready for prime time, and we're so happy it's over!

Details:
Calacatta Nuevo marble from AKDO - subway in shower, hex on floors and mini-bricks in niches and backsplash
Grout - White Frost by C-Cure. We originally tried Silver Shadow by Laticrete but it was too dark so we went lighter.
Counters - Caesarstone
Duravit tub
Faucets/tub fixture: Toto
Shower fixture - Raindance by Hansgrohe
BM Light Pewter
Lights - Restoration Hardware
Cabinetry - existing, sprayed with BM White Dove
Pulls from Lowes

Here's the before:

And the after:

Love how the flowers match the ducky!!!

May I just reiterate to others - look at the perfect example of why you should always use white grout with white marble.
I will refer people back to your bath whenever gray grout rears it head :)

WOWWWWWW...

Final question: Would you please tell us the size of your shower?

kcmg, thanks for the nice words. I'm definitely a proponent of quartz counters. I like how they bring a modern vibe to the marble and also like how they let the marble be the star. Also, they are so much easier to maintain than marble counters. Our shower is 40x34. We were hemmed in by the window on the back wall. We do have 3 scones - I just noticed the photo only shows 2, but there is one to the right of the mirror on the right. The Hansgrohe shower head was a splurge and I'm so glad we did it - I just took my first shower this week and it was worth it. :)

pharaoh, thanks for the nice words. Actually, the grout is a very, very light cool gray -- it's "White Frost" from C-Cure. Even though I love the look of white grout with marble, with two kids and a big dog, I didn't want the hassle of cleaning white grout. This one has just the slightest hint of color, and I would recommend it for those using white marble. We tried about 5 different grout colors, including Silver Shadow which we used in another marble bathroom, and they were all either too dark or too beige. I nearly drove my tile installer crazy with my grout picky-ness. ;)

tartanhabit, we were very happy with our installers/contractor. It took over a week for our tile guy to install the tile, and I felt like he was taking forever, but he was meticulous and did a fantastic job. If any Angelenos need a recommendation for a good tile guy, I'm happy to refer him.

Enjoy the new room! You really did a great job of pulling all the finishes together.

Your before vanity looks like the one in our hall bathroom: brownish tiles, top mount sinks and white cabinets. I can't wait until our kids are old enough for us to re-do that bath.

kaysd, the grate is from California Faucets. It was a little more than I wanted to spend on a drain, but I do like how it looks. The counters and tub surround are Pure White. We also used it in the niches.

kfhl, if you are worried about the maintenance of marble subway in the shower, another idea would be to put white subway in and do marble in the niches and on the shower floor. My husband's biggest complaint is having to squeegee the marble shower after we use it. I think he regrets not going with plain white subway tile in the shower, mostly for maintenance. But hopefully he'll get used to it after a while.

Enjoy your beautiful space... and the lucky toddlers who will be using it!

One practical note: if toddlers are going to be using this with wet feet, or even *anyone* with wet feet, I hope you'll compromise the gorgeousness a bit and put down ample floor coverage with bath mats. I broke my toe (with a 3 y.o. in my arms--talk about baby preservation instinct-- in the split second of the fall I made sure she was safe and just injured myself!) and on another occasion, slipped and fell and hurt my wrist on glossy white (ceramic) tile in the bathroom we had before we moved out west. They were 4x4 (probably wall tile, knowing the quality of the build in general...), so there was plenty of grout, but they were glossy and *dangerous*, as I learned.

PSA over -- we now return you to the delights of marble snow-blindness : )

flyleft, thanks for the words of caution about slippery floors. That sounds scary and painful (but way to go mama with your preservation instincts!!) I'm glad your 3 year old wasn't hurt. Our biggest concern with installing a polished floor was exactly this -- that one of our little ones would slip on it. I put down three bath mats this weekend so hopefully we won't have any slipping going on (fingers crossed).

monicakm, thanks! The stacked duckies were actually a baby shower gift a few years ago from my cousin. I will have to ask her where she found them. I looked at them and didn't see a brand on them.

and thanks for the nice words, treasuretheday, sas95, whiteriversooner and door1 (and anyone i might have missed)!

A few more questions if you don't mind. You mentioned the countertop is caesarstone is the tub deck and surround also Caesarstone?
Can you please tell me what sinks you used.? Love the shape.
Are your mirrors framed or recessed in the wall? Can't tell from the pics.
Also someone mentioned your kitchen...If it's anything like this I must see it. Can you provide a link to that?

Thank you!

Thanks.

Island, the tub surround is also Caesarstone. For the mirrors, we just had our carpenter build trim around the existing cabinets and had custom-sized mirrors put in when he was finished. It was easier than finding mirrors that matched the space. The sinks (17x17) were found at a bath specialty store in N. Hollywood called MTD.

Here's a couple pics of the kitchen - and link to the thread with the details.

I know I'm off topic here, but just had to gush and pick your brain. I see a glimpse of your living space and fireplace treatment. Looks like you carried the same style throughout?? I want to move in!
Beautiful. Thanks for the additional info.

I'm stuck in decision land on the finishing touches of my kitchen (backsplash) and master bath.

enjoy!

gorgeous! Next summer we're planning on redoing our 3 BR's and I have considered going all white with all 3 of them--your BR is pushing me that way!

Love the sinks -- I've looked thru the posts and I can't find what they are? Can you share?

Thanks, Rita

thanks epressler, the hex marble is 8x9 (at the largest point). We went to the tile warehouse to pick out the exact tiles and I recall the tile distributor saying something about these being discontinued. It wasn't on the AKDO sample board we took home or in the showroom. We had originally planned to do the smaller hex tiles on the floor and we only discovered the larger hex tiles in the warehouse after we decided the smaller hex tiles were too busy for the space.

thanks sofla!

How is the Raindance system working out?
