Need RH look-alike shower parts!

16 years ago

I've tried and tried to order my pressure-balance valve and multi-diverter from Restoration Hardware (Lugarno, satin nickel). I ordered them in November, they were on backorder for a couple days. A week later, they're on back order til the end of December, now they're on backorder until the end of April. Well, I can't wait that long. So I ordered their Vintage set (which doesn't look too different). But one of those pieces is on backorder, too! I need shower controls so the plumber can hook up our stuff, put up drywall, tile, etc. We're stuck until we get our shower controls! But I am looking everywhere on line and everywhere seems to sell very modern looking stuff (I've tried efacuets, faucetsdirect, and all those websites, as well as looking directly at Delta, Hansgroghe, Grohe, etc websites), and I can't find anything that looks similar to the RH stuff. We need more antique-looking, cross handles. Can anyone recommend a place for us to look? We really need to order these and get them in fast.

Thank you!

Newport Brass makes RH stuff but their stuff has heinously long lead times in general also, although sometimes you can get lucky with chrome - forget ORB though, you're talking 6-8 weeks. I'm not sure about satin nickel, but it's worth calling around to see what lead times are (no one stocks NB it seems, not even local plumbing stores around here - they all order it).

I'm using Rohl country, which is also sort of vintagey looking but they also have long lead times.

How to decorate bathrooms with slate (look-alike) floors?
Q
Comments (13)
I did Dal Continental slate floor in the bathroom, with white tiles and a different color slate trim and pencil. I love it. I really like contrasting materials and textures, and the smooth white tiles and the more rustic feel of slate is very appealing for me! Am doing a backsplash as I write in the kitchen which will be white subway and slate border to contrast, too. We live in a more wooded area, so the contrast fits the outdoors as well. I don't have a lot of views of the floor, but here is one you may be able to get the basic look of: Here is a link that might be useful: other pics of bathroom...

RH Aubrey Pull vs Historic House Parts cabinet pulls: Any Experience?
Q
Comments (6)
We have the Aubrey pulls in polished nickel and I like them a lot. Our contractor installed them, but I heard no complaints about any problem with the screws. We have a couple of flip-down doors, and the screws were long enough that they pushed up the finish on the inside of the door--as I type this I'm realizing I don't know if it did that on any of the drawers since it'd be facing away from me and I've never looked. Maybe best that I don't . . . Can you order one of each of the pulls you're considering to compare and contrast?

I found only 2 cultivars of the Rhus typhina so far that have squiggly wood, the 'Dissecta' and the 'Laciniata'. I posted a pic of the former cultivar (twice), below is a beautiful pic of the latter cultivar Rhus typhina 'Laciniata'. Not sure, but the squiggly wood may partly be a natural to those 2 cultivars, plus some pruning perhaps. How do you deal with the suckering Rhus ? (FWIW, my neighbor has a small (about 7') old lilac tree of some kind in his front yard that he never prunes, it has some squiggly wood but is nonetheless ugly looking to my eyes, it does not sucker, it flowers (and is fragrant) in some years.)

What parts do I need for a hand held shower?

When I wrote "For the valve; valve body and compatible valve trim." I have "valve" followed by a semicolon, I meant for what followed the semicolon to be a list of "valve parts". So for a complete valve assembly, you want the rough brass valve body itself, which gets buried in the wall, and then the pretty chrome valve trim that you see and touch inside the shower to cover the valve body. In your photo you show the brass valve. You're right, that is the "valve body". You then want the pretty chrome (or other finish) trim to cover that valve body. With the valve body and the valve trim, you'll have a complete valve assembly. As you wrote, a lot of websites will have you pick out the valve trim that you like then refer you to the valve body that goes wit that trim kit. Sorry for the confusion!

Scroll down the eBay page to the buy-it-nows and you'll find lugarno, satin nickel, as a single shower and at the very bottom of the page, with a tub spout and diverter. Is this what you're looking for?

Hope you see this in time.

Thanks you guys. I love some of the Rohl stuff (today I found a great local supplier that had all kinds of beautiful brands I'd never heard of. I didn't end up looking at lead times or prices, because when I got up this morning, I got an inexplicable email from RH saying that my other piece has shipped! Yeah! I already switched from Lugarno to Vintage, but I think the Vintage will work just fine. But thank you so much for your quick responses and ideas!
