The faucet has landed, tile is AWOL

After pining and lusting after it for, lo, seven months now, I finally pulled the trigger and bought The Faucet. For less than that, of course.
So I guess really The Faucet hasn’t landed yet since that won’t happen until it gets delivered, but still. This is a day to remember! Matt has been begging me to buy the damn thing for months now, since I would mostly just look at it a lot on line and stalk it via eBay and generally sigh about it a lot. So faucet: done. Let’s hope it doesn’t suck. (I think it will be fine… I played with a Ladylux Plus some friends have a few months back and it was nice.)
Our tile is AWOL in Texas right now since it seems that maybe the people at The Nash Floor Company in Rockville (and I do NOT recommend them at all because so far they have done nothing but take our money and then suck) have sat on our order for the last two weeks rather than actually submitting it. Or something like that. We don’t know! All we know is that the order is still in Texas, will probably get to Baltimore on June 1, and then has to get to the store where we can go get it. And I don’t know that I believe this information since it comes from the same people who told me “ten days” would be about how long it would take to get the tile delivered. It’s been twenty-two days, Nash Floor Company! I hate you!
I have no idea what the people at Nash actually do at this point, since they are always “gone for the day” no matter how early we call, and never actually return the messages we leave when we make the inevitably fruitless calls to them.
The toilet is an unknown right now. I think it might be AWOL but have yet to determine that. Maybe it is hanging out in Texas with the tile.
My faucet is also a Grohe! Not quite as (lady)lux as yours though.
I love the Grohe faucets! Which one do you have?
My second and girlier choice was the Brizo Floriano which I like even though it is kind of silly. And in scandalous faucet news, I saw today that Brizo is pulling all of their faucets from online distribution/sale, which means you would have to go to a showroom to buy one (lame).
