Single Hole Faucet Single-handle Bathroom Faucet with Drain Assembly
Went with platinum for both floor and shower, not ash. But considered Ash because it's a little lighter than platinum

Silicone - Caulk & Sealants - Paint Supplies
Vanities
The other vanities I considered
Sink option #2. $760, quartz top
Corley 36'' Free-standing Single Bathroom Vanity with Quartz Vanity Top
Faucets & Showerheads
Other faucets & showerheads I considered. I was going for a matte black look.

Moen Genta Bathroom Collection in Matte Black - The Home Depot
3
$257 bath heads, $117 vanity. Only includes hooks. Single spray type

Mod Single Hole Faucet Single-handle Bathroom Faucet with Drain Assembly

$177. Would need to pair this with a blocky-looking vanity faucet too
Modern Monitor 14 Series Tub & Shower Trim
$111; could work except it has the brand name on it
Single Hole Faucet Single-handle Bathroom Faucet with Drain Assembly
$160 Here's an option that's a little bit less squared off than faucet collection 3, and a little bit more squared than faucet collection 1 - no corresponding collection though, but I think it could mix and match well.
Modern Project-Pack Single Hole Single-Handle Bathroom Faucet in Matte Black
1
I like the rounder towel bars and other accompanying things compared to the harsh flat squared off Genta
Moen Align Bathroom Collection in Matte Black - The Home Depot
1
$174 Square shower head but also includes detachable hand held shower head. Does need a separate shower arm.
I get that hose could get messy, but if you've got kids, it's great for being able to direct the water when they're in the tub. And you don't want to enclose the tub so that you get maximum reach for the kiddos.

1
$200. Multiple spray patterns, non-funky diverter
Deckard Dual Function Tub and Shower Faucet
$216. The actual Deckard sink faucet
Deckard Centerset Faucet Single-handle Bathroom Faucet with Drain Assembly
Bathroom lighting
Bathroom dimensions are 5' x 11' = 55 sq. ft.Without tub (will be lit by a fan/light combo), then it's 5' x 8.5' = 42.5 sq. ft. Translating to lumens, that's 3200-4125.
Designer is the same as my other funky lights, but this is circular instead of square tubing so maybe not the best fit. Also 6000K is $98; wayfair is out of the 3000K version
Shoji 2 - Light Dimmable LED Vanity Light
$148, 36". Probably would opt for this one & put on a dimmer
Alfonza Dimmable LED Bath Bar
$93. 36"
Sydni Dimmable LED Bath Bar
$89. 30"
Sydni Dimmable LED Bath Bar
$180, this could be fun, but will need to buy the bulbs. There's also a 4-light version for a bit cheaper.
Epperson 5 - Light Dimmable Vanity Light
$150. 4-light version. Need the bulbs separately
Tekamah 4 - Light Dimmable Bath Bar
Bar style but without being a literal skinny strip of light
Grandale 23.25 in. 1-Light Coal LED Bathroom Vanity Light Bar
You probably don't want to do the wiring for sconces, but I want it on the record that I like this style and would do it beside the bed or something like that too.
Aero 1 Light Textured Black ADA Wall Sconce with Hand Blown Satin Opal White Twist Lock Glass
Or something like this beside the bed!
Mid Century 1-Light Black Wall Sconce with Glass Globe Shade
Love Artika styles
Subway 27 in. 1-Light Integrated LED Matte Black Modern Vanity Light Wall Fixture for Bathroom Mirror with Frosted Glass
I know it's chrome but it's a statement that would complement the all black fixtures elsewhere. I just love bubble glass
Bubble Cube 24 in. 4-Light Integrated LED Chrome Modern Vanity Light Wall Fixture for Bathroom Mirror with Bubble Glass
I like the frosted glass also so it's not as harsh on the eyes
Syll 38 in. 6-Light Midnight Black Vanity Light with Clear Highlighted Satin Etched Glass Shade
Not quite just a single bar of light - a little bit more detail and interest. Longer than the Artika one above.
Carlyn 36 in. Matte Black LED Vanity Light Bar
Mirror/Medicine Cabinet
I wanted something that was pretty wide but didn't have the crack from the doors going down the center, so these were the best options.
$201, 26" H x 30" W

Accessories
Other accessories to deck it out accessibly & aesthetically.
I'm not sure how i feel about the notch, but I like that the top is slightly raised so that phones won't slip off as easily
LAYUKI Large Toilet Paper Holder with Shelf, Wipes Dispenser and Storage, Stainless Steel, Wall Mounted, Matt Black, Upgraded Toilet Paper and Flushable Wipes Storage for Bathroom
Not sure that you'll love the curve on the toilet paper holder part of it, but it's another option
Toilet Paper Holder with Shelf, Suncleanse Large Black Toilet Paper Holder with Flushable Wipes Dispenser, 3 in 1 Adhesive or Screw Wall Mounted Toilet Paper Holder with Storage
I like freestanding holders so you can move it out of the way when it's not being used - this one also allows you to store backup rolls easily
CISILY Black Toilet Paper Holder Stand with Storage Shelf, Free Standing Toilet Paper Roll Holders, Bathroom Toliet Tissue Holder Accessories Essentials (USPTO Patent Pending)…
Good because you don't have to remove anything off the top to get to the stuff in the drawer. Bad because you can't overstuff the drawer or else it will get stuck. Also more moving parts make me nervous
MAYZOLOP Rotating Toilet Paper Holder with Phone Shelf - Flushable Wipes Dispenser for Bathroom Aluminum Alloy Storage,Adhesive or Screw Wall Mounted Toilet Tissue Roll Holder/Box (Matte Black)
28" long for $46; might not have as much separation as the one you found - need to compare specs
Alise Bath Double Towel Bars,Black Towel Holder Towel Racks for Bathroom Lavatory,Wall Mount Towel Hanger SUS304 Stainless Steel Towel Rail,GOY2700-B Matte Black 28 Inch
Only 5" wide - could be useful for those spaces between vanity and toilet or vanity and door to maximize storage space

Deckard also comes with towel bars, but more expensive (18" -> $57)
Deckard 18" Mounting Towel Bar
$49 for 24"
Mod Wall Mounted Towel Bar
Storage
At the wall, height is 72.5" and a foot out from the wall, height is 78"
$258. It's 90" tall, so I'd need to cut it down. Need to look in store
ENHET Storage combination - anthracite/white 24x12 3/4x90 "
$340. Comes with handles. 75" tall, so would need to put on legs
GODMORGON High cabinet - Kasjön white 15 3/4x12 5/8x75 5/8 "
$148. Basic, needs legs
ENHET High cabinet/1 door - white 12x12 3/4x72 "
$398. Also could be an option, it's 36x72 so needs legs but is just barely not wide enough to be butting up against the window
ENHET Storage combination - anthracite/white 36x12 3/4x72 "
For the cabinet-shelf-cabinet enhet solution... could build from scratch using a 30" base, the wire shelves, and this 15" top. Total cost would be $282

Enhet legs, adjustable from 3 7/8 - 4 7/8

$30 each, can do these on the top row of the BILLY
OXBERG Glass door - white 15 3/4x13 3/4 "
$40. Needs to go on the bottom because of the wheels, and would need to get hardware

$180, the HAUGA series could also be an option
HAUGA High cabinet with 2 doors, white, 271/2x783/8" - IKEA
