Yes, I'll need 3 GFI outlets, any plug within 3 feet of water I believe is the code.



Within 6' of the edge of a sink/basin.

You also need more receptacles. No part of a wall can be more than 6' of a receptacle. So take a door, go 6' and you need a receptacle. If it's a long enough wall, you would then go 12' to the next receptacle (6' extending from one receptacle + 6' from the other).

Make sure that the light above the bathtub is wet location listed.

Countertop sections (i.e. split up by a sink, oven/range, etc...) greater than 2 feet need a receptacle.

You need TWO "small appliance circuits" serving the kitchen. If the lengths of the countertops lead to you having two countertop receptacles, you will need to supply each from a different circuit. The fridge can be powered by one of those two circuits, but be careful of what you put on the same circuit. A fridge compressor kicking on while you've got something like a Keurig heating up on the same circuit may be enough to trip the breaker, though you'd probably be OK.

*Your layout picture isn't showing up anymore, so I'm speaking from what I remember from what I saw around lunch time. A decent electrician should know what I posted, though.
