No room for vanity

our plumber said.
Instead, white

portrait pedestal
sink
with memoir faucets

a silver framed
mirror overhead
light

we chose a lustra seat
in one piece
with a comfort finish

multifunction showerhead
in vibrant nickel
matching

robe hooks, towel rings
with adjustable wall
brackets

he said we might
increase the size
of the jacuzzi—

we selected 6 foot
mariposa whirlpool
with drop in

installation;
breaking down
walls, adding tile

designs
in an alcove
we can hide

ourselves
(sip wine or tea)
celebrate with our

scented candles
shampoo
body wash.
