Restoration Hardware vanity: sink switching and baseboard issues
Comments (5)Thank you, everyone. I just talked to the carpenter and he agrees with you, Chris. He said he will scribe (?) the baseboard to fit the curve of the vanity legs. I hope I got the term correct. The next step is to wait for the plumber and the granite fabricators to call me back on their solution to the sink installation. A friend thinks that the fabricator will have clips to attach my sink to the granite. I've never done anything with stone countertops before so this will be my first time doing this. Thanks for all the handholding and suggestions. One of these days things will finally be finished in this build and I'll try to learn a new skill and post pictures of how it all turned out....See MoreBathroom vanities for less than Restoration Hardware prices...
Comments (2)I was looking for the same thing about a year ago and never had much success so I had one custom-made, but since then I saw someone's post on here with a link to a place that seems to have very nice, very inexpensive RH-like vanities. I recommend checking out this place http://www.directtoyoufurniture.com/product.aspx?ID=195346&CatID=1393. I don't have any affiiliation to them, in fact I've not even purchased anything from them so I can't speak to quality or service, but I thought their vanities looked nice online....See MoreIs Restoration Hardware cabinet hardware good quality?
Comments (13)Have you actually seen or felt any of the hardware you're considering or just taking your GC's word on it? I had my heart set on the Aubrey pulls so drove 65 miles to a store to put my own hands and eyes on them before I shelled out my hard earned cash, which, btw, I recommend doing with ANY hardware you're considering. I was impressed by the quality of the pulls and knobs RH displays on the little boards. (I was disappointed to not be able to rummage around on the huge wall of hardware like they had years ago.) I bought small samples of the Aubrey in polished nickel and polished chrome, a couple of other pulls DH liked, and a couple of different knobs. They all felt solid, heavy, and very well made. I went on to order samples of a few other pulls from different companies when DH didn't initially like my choice of the Aubrey. Compared to the other pulls, the Aubrey felt completely smooth on the handle part and heavier. Some of the other pulls were rougher and you could feel a seam on the handle from the mold or whatever they use to form them. Even though DH didn't like the style of the pull at first, he liked the quality very much. In the end, I chose three sizes of the Aubrey pulls (no knobs) in polished nickel. Of the 100 pulls I ordered (bought many more than I needed as I wanted the flexibility of changing my mind on sizes and then returned the rest), only one any had sort of little flaw in the nickel. Having read that some people in the past had trouble with the Aubrey screws, I sent a pull with the screws to my cab maker ahead of installation so he could decide if I needed to buy different screws. He said the ones I was sent would work fine on my cabs. He had never used RH hardware before, but was impressed with the quality and appearance after he installed them. It's only been a few months, but I'm having zero problems with the pulls. Well, except maybe my obsessive need to walk around wiping the small finger prints off so that they shine. :-) Look at any pull you're interested in IRL. Touch them. Hold them. Hold them up to your cabs to test the projection and appearance. Good luck! Here is a link that might be useful: More pics on this thread...See MoreFinishes to match current bathroom choices
Comments (7)That faucet is gorgeous. I have to see what shower set might go with it. It is the printmakers, and we definitely stepped away from Tudor style a bit with it. We didn't want to go too dark since it's a north facing room. I'm worried about the vanity and quartz making it too modern or industrial, which is why I'd like the other choices to try to bring in more of a vintage and feminine sort of feel to balance that more masculine piece. Almost a soft industrial, if that's possible. i was thinking of doing a frameless mirror like this.... Do you think that would work? any wall sconce suggestions? should I stick with the brass for things like towel bars, shelf brackets, etc if I go with brass faucets? Or should I introduce black there to pull in the dark color of the floor?...See MoreEngineerChic
