On reread, it occurred to me that this is probably a textbook example of Carlin's Law: "If you nail together two things that have never been nailed together before, some ****** will buy it."

That's OK. There are landlubber terms in it too:

Flashlight: a cylindrical plastic container used to store dead batteries until disposal.

Bunk: Nautical lore.

Bar: def. a: A submerged geological barrier composed of sand, rock, or mud.
def. b: A long flat stationary furnishing of a room usually composed of varnished, highly polished wood.

Sailors can often be found clustered in great numbers around both.

Well, maybe her bathroom has only CANDLE-lights ...

Some people take bath with candles and Champaign... and she wants a dream spa with mood lights.

It's probably a chroma-therapy shower head.

I know Kohler offers a Rose Gold finish on some of their products. Kohler is decent as well as Delta, although Moen is my top pick. Right now I am just sticking with brushed nickel (our house is mostly Delta fixtures installed by the builder, but I have my Moen Engage showerhead for my bathroom).

Hang a solid shower curtain liner, add a fabric curtain on top, and unless you have a light in the shower, the shower can be dark. It’s harder to shave your legs in the dark.

I’ve never had a light overhead in the shower ever. Which is why I always choose clear vinyl shower curtains. With no over curtain at all. A lighted showerhead might help brighten things up a little.
