Update: I went back to the showroom today to return all the Brizo parts. I was hopping mad after being told I would have to pay a 25% restocking fee. However, once I arrived the rep said she spoke to Brizo and they were going to waive the fee (good thing because there was no way in the hot place I was going to pay it). Anyhoo... She showed me that the plastic I was seeing on the valve bodies is to protect the cartridges during installation and will come off after tile is complete. Even she was surprised at the poor quality of the shower heads. They really are dreadful - I've seen nicer on the shelf at Walmart - seriously! I decided to keep the valves and handles which are nicely made, heavy metal and do what I need them to do. I returned the plastic shower heads. We searched the showroom for non-plastic shower heads. Even most of Grohe's heads are plastic now! I was able to find two that will work. The shower head is a Jado Hatteras shower head 842/083 and the hand held is Brizo Vesi wall mount hand shower RP41202. I was not able to see either in person in the chrome finish but I have been assured they will be all metal. Next up - marble slab shopping tomorrow wheeee!

Eliz I missed that sweet compliment...darn. Thank you many months later. I found ebay to be the best option for bargains, but the other two places I shopped were School House Electric and Rejuvination. I purchased a few pieces from School House and they went out of their way to first find the cheapest way to ship them (I'd called NY but they have a NW Location so they processed it out of there) and they rushed the order because well I was in a hurry up and finish mode :) Rejuvination was my main non-antique source for lighting. I purchased several fixtures (repro) and love the quality, but I also purchased a few antique pieces. Here are a few in place... This one is hard to photograph because the room is so small...it's hanging from three chains but you can just see it. It came from ebay out of France: My entry hall light from Rejuvination (repro): The kitchen fixture (I have three, two like this and the third is inverted): You've probably seen my infamous chicken..the only non antique style, but still unique fixture in the house: Master Bedroom: Library: And a few more (ok lots) that aren't in pictures yet. Someday I'm going to have to take pics of each fixture. My bathroom are flush mount 1912 cast iron exposed bulbs...I adore them!

I love the brass finish on the light in your kitchen, so I wanted to look for a ceiling light that is also finished in brass. I'm focusing on ceiling mounts because it looks like you have a low ceiling, so I don't want a light to hang too low and hit you in the head!

You need both but at least in my experience, nothing replaces a great lighted mirror with a magnified side for makeup. I have somewhat of a unique design because I like to do makeup and grooming sitting down comfortably so I removed one of the sinks and replaced it with a lower height vanity with a bench. That portion of the mirror has a take on the retro Hollywood type of lights. There is ample illumination with just the canned lights unless I forget to actually turn them on when I take a shower because a portion of them are on motion sensors so they turn off unless I remember to actually manually turn them off when I take a long relaxing shower and sit on my bench :-).
