Has anyone used restoration hardware faucets?
Comments (15)FWIW: We just remodeled our downstairs powder room but decided to keep the RH Bitsro facuet because we liked the look of it and also we've been using it for probably 15 years now maintenance free, Originally it had a satin nickel finish but the remodel we went a different direction and painted the walls black and changed all of the hardware to brass. I read online that you could remove chrome off of a solid brass faucet using a mixture of Muriatic Acid and water so tried that. Appearently nickel is much more difficult to remove than chrome. Chrome can be removed rather quickly and nickel took me a week soaking it in a 50/50 Muriatic Acid and water mixture just to loosen the nickel to the point where we could sand it off. Then kept sanding using finer and finer grit wet sandpaper. Once it was actually down to the brass my wife did a quick patina using salt and apple cider vinegar and we are extremely happy with the results. Unfortunately after putting everything back together the hot valve now leaks a little (valves were not soaking in acid, just the outside parts). I contacted Newport Brass and they said "That is an RH faucet, we didn't make it, RH simply put our faucet buttons on it!" Really!? So now I am waiting for a call back from RH to see if they can supply me with a new hot valve. Besides the new leak this faucet has been amazing. Attaching a photo of the nickel to aged brass transformation. Original satin nickel on the left, down to the solid brass middle, aged brass on right....See MoreCross Post w/Kitchens- Restoration Hardware Harmon Pendents

Comments (4)I had the same experience w/ Restoration Hardware. I loved their ORB pulls online. But, when I went to the store, the wall sample pulls had finishes that were all worn off. I asked if they had some in back they could show me, and most had the same issue, or just looked worn. I'm not about to spend $8-12 on something like that. So, I asked my cabinet maker for suggestions and he gave me the name of a hardware outlet that he buys at and said I could go and tell them they are for him to install. This would allow me to get his 25% off discount. Do you have a cabinet maker, or a cabinet line you could contact? Maybe that would be of help?...See MoreWhat is the experience of "on-line" time to upgrade W7 to W10?
Comments (60)Nice to see "Happy Campers".. was was hopeful as the load, long time as it was, seemed to load everything, all my history and some rather old drivers, e.g., Palm Desk Top. But over a short time, must be about the start of this thread date, the whole computer has bogged down, not just browser, both Firefox and IE, I'm not using the newer whatever-browser, but even the WiFi interface. I try to remember to shut down my WiFi when I am done, but leaving the computer on. Then I click on the wireless Icon and click connect. It is not a click, click, click operation, long (what 5+ seconds or longer) delay getting to each click. Wasn't that way in the beginning. I use a password as that is port of the IE security for saved passwords, I use a master pass word on Firefox.. suppose that's the problem? Wasn't in the beginning. Just before this exploration and gripping Firefox forgot all, I mean all, its personal data. I did a refresh on Firefox, then a restore on Windows 10, still total amnesia for Firefox. I have backup on a flash drive, but haven't plugged that in to recover. Seems houzz log on survived, must be something at the houzz end, not Firefox memory. On Linux, I used the Ubuntu GRUB to set up the dual boot, and right now I don't recall what the problem is... maybe it too slowed down, maybe there's something wrong with my mental clock too high an expectation. That possibility noted, I did some blogging on the Ubuntu forum, now a member, and there was some agreement on the problem. I have considered using XUbuntu to resurrect a XP Dell desktop that is very sick. But rather than dual boot, thinking using a USB Hard drive as the boot for XUbuntu and leave the Windows boot loader in tack. I think that leads to my too slow peeve. I suppose I may have problems with drivers too with Ubuntu.. I want to run my laser printers for one thing. The one dual boot I have worked "out of the box" with my WiFi....See MoreRelated Professionals
