Paint color help
Comments (2)We are painting our masterbath in SW Sea Salt. I love this color and think it would look really beautiful with what you have described. It's a very soft, light and airy gray, but when there's blue in the room, it picks up a slight tint of blue and when there's green in the room it picks up a slight tint of green. Bestyears posted a pic she had found when I asked about the color in another post. We'll be painting the room this weekend. I'll post a pic when it's done, but in the meantime, here's a link to Bestyears pic. If you like the color but not Sherwin William paints, you can always have it duplicated at BM.

Comments (6)We have a hammered copper sink in our bathroom and I hunted for hours and hours, days and days, non-stop for a faucet that seemed right.... and it's not even in a prominent place like a kitchen... so I can imagine your angst. (I read an article about "Champagne problems".... oops, OT :~)) While my preferred metal for faucets is nickel, it just didn't make me go "ahhhhh" next to the copper sink. It worked, but something wasn't quite right. ORB looked great colour-wise, but the finishes on the ones I saw looked fake somehow. Then, in the final hour, I stumbled upon a "Cifial" faucet (very hard to find here in Canada) and their ORB (called "Weathered") cast brass faucet is gorgeous next to the sink! I just joined this forum today and haven't figured out how to attach pix yet, but I've included a link below. Chop back the URL to see more styles. In real life, there's a beautifully subtle/warm/natural glow along some of the edges of the detailing. I'm not trying to change your mind as I really do LOVE nickel, but just wanted bring in another perspective. Good luck! Your sink & faucet are both gorgeous! ~ sb Btw, we're just beginning a kitchen reno and are considering a granite called "Brown Suede" because it does what I think you're trying to do --- tie together warm copper with other cooler metals. We're trying to blend the character of our rustic 1854 house with some of our more modern tastes --- warm cherry shaker-style cabinets with cooler pro-line stainless appliances. This granite seems to marry the two quite well. Now... any ideas for a backsplash??? Here is a link that might be useful:...See Morestainless steel apron front sinks
Comments (1)I wish I could give you input on those brands, but I would suggest first seeing if someone on ebay offering a premium sink would be willing to make deals, especially on closeout versions. We made an offer on a Franke a few months ago, and were surprised when they accepted. You just never know what someone might accept!...See MoreWho makes the best 36" stainless steel farmhouse sink?
