Mission Report
At our Splash and Spritzo locations across New England, you’ll not only get a fantastic shopping experience in a beautiful showroom, you’ll have access to the best products from all the top brands, at a variety of price points. To showcase this, we challenged Maryann to create three vision boards for the same space, at $4,000, $6,000 and $10,000. Let’s see what she came up with…
GOOD – $4,000 Budget
There’s no such thing as a bad product in our showrooms, but we understand that not everyone has an unlimited budget. Maryann’s ‘Good’ bathroom design still features products from brands you know and love like Kohler, Grohe, and Gatco.
A few highlights from this gorgeous design include the Kohler Impressions Ceramic Vanity Top Sink. Its versatile design is a perfect pairing for a number of different vanity styles and the raised outer edge prevents items and water from rolling off. Available in eight neutral finishes, this vanity/sink combo is perfect for a moderate budget.
What’s a great sink without a great faucet? To complete the vanity, Maryann selected the Grohe Concetto Widespread Two-handle faucet in a chrome finish. Grohe’s EcoJoy technology gives you the perfect flow while saving water, and the timeless design means you won’t need to replace it any time soon.
To complete this design, the Gatco 1686 Latitude II Triple Sconce in chrome was chosen to light up the space. This fixture offers the designer appeal but without the designer price tag. The entire line can be purchased as a single, double or triple sconce, and is easily mounted to most surfaces.
Lee Ann paired two Kohler Artifact One-Light Sconces with the Uttermost Sherise Oval Mirror. The light fixtures have a very traditional, artisan design which goes great with the hand-forged beveled Sherise Mirror.

For this design, Maryann used many of the same brands as above but was able to invest a little more in some key items that allow for a slightly more luxurious feel. The first being the Icera Octave II one-piece toilet. This popular model has an EcoQUATTRO flushing system that is high-performance and high-efficiency. It also has many customization options making it the perfect fit for any bathroom.
The Duro Shower System from Symmons has a clean, geometric shape that makes it stand out while still creating a minimalistic look. It will also give off the perfect water pressure every time with the integrated Temptrol Pressure Balancing Valve.
To spruce up the shower, The Kohler Levity sliding shower door brings the barn door trend inside your bathroom. The gorgeous 3/8” thick glass panels move quietly and effortlessly and are treated with CleanCoat technology, which helps prevent bacteria, mildew, and water stains.

From the Harbor Gray finish to the 3” burnished brass ring pulls; this vanity exudes luxury. The entire collection is available in several colors and configurations!
To go with the beautiful vanity, Maryann selected a White Carrera marble countertop and matching white oval sink from Fairmont Designs paired with the modern One faucet from Kallista to complement the transitional design.
To splurge, Maryann added the Robern AiO Lighted Mirror. This incredible collection gives the best possible lighting with Capacitive Touch Control, a Color Rendering Index, and One-Touch Task Lighting. It also doubles as a speaker with Bluetooth Compatibility and has USB ports so your devices can charge while getting ready.
