Norman Rockwell inspired bathroom?

Mom and Dad have bought a country home. They are renovating the large, main bathroom. The new fixtures are white and quite transitional.

They have bought these taps which look like pump handles and are made in "rustic pewter":

They need ideas for counter-top, mirrors and lighting. Mom likes the idea of a Norman Rockwell inspired room.

The floor will be large, chocolate-brown tiles.

The cabinets are medium oak.

Thanks for your ideas!

I love that faucet - very cool. And I love the idea of a Rockwell bathroom. He did loads of pictures with a bathing theme, like these:

I think this mirror would be perfect:

I like this lighting in bronze, although you might like it in steel to better match the faucet. But I think the bronze is more rustic looking & lends itself to the Americana theme better - like an old street light.

I don't know if you have a shower curtain yet, but this outhouse curtain & hooks would be great:

For the countertop, I like this lantern candle holder:
