Beautiful Bathroom or Bust

I avoid attending the Parade of Homes because seeing all those smartly decorated models, with the latest in technology, massive kitchens, the hottest colors and perfectly placed plants brings on depression.   My own adequate home looks like an outhouse compared to them. 

Well, this year I am putting on my big girl attitude and going out to see every last house. 

I want to redo my master bathroom and what better way to drive up the price than to get ideas from theirs.  I can't even come close to all the gadgets in the ones at the Parade, but at least ours will only be semi-outdated. 
 We must have a separate toilet room, two sinks, bigger shower and tile everything else. Should we do a garden tub or jetted and how big?   
 What size shower, double or single size; clear or frosted glass, surround or one sided?
 His and her sinks and cabinets or....Hey wait a minute.  My budget is only $5k or less.  Now let's start over.   Although better than lovely, they are more than I can afford, but a starting point at least.
Yep, I think I'm ready to re-do.  Now to get Mr. Manly to come on board, we will be taking off in November.  Oh, the places you can go when you buy tickets to the Parade of Hot Houses.
