Bathroom Renovation: Choosing...well Everything

The bathroom renovation is moving along...slowly. Since we are combining two into one, I knew it would take a little longer as the electric, plumbing details needed worked out--not to mention to make sure the wall that needs to come down isn't load bearing, which it isn't. So today (which would be yesterday when this posts), I'm heading out to meet the designer at the office to pick out the products we're going to use to have a better idea on cost. My husband has decided to let me do this part myself. 1. He'd probably go with what I want and 2. He can't take additional time off and we both want to get moving on the master bathroom. We're tired of having to go down the hall in the middle of the night. Yes, first world world problem for sure, and we're a little spoiled. Once you get used to having a bathroom attached to your bedroom, it's hard to lose it.

Right now, the estimated time frame is four to six weeks depending on the products we choose. It'll take a little less time as part of the demolition is already done. The reason we're doing this renovation project is because of a mold issue that started happening in our master bathroom. We had a specialist come in to remove it and we found out the only way to totally get rid of it was to gut the entire bathroom. The previous owners had used untreated wood paneling in the bathroom and to stop the issue it had to all come out. And the paneling had gone in first and then the shower surround and the vanity so to remove it all, everything had to go. So, I'm trying to look on the bright side which is I get a new master bathroom. We had been talking about redoing the bathroom but hadn't quite expected it to be so sudden.

For those wondering what our non-bathroom looks like:
