Need opinions for faucet style to match shaker cabinets
Hi All,
My husband and I are building a modern farmhouse with simple shaker cabinetry throughout. We will have a free standing pedestal tub in the master. We are trying to decide what style faucet is most appropriate to go with the clean lines of the cabinetry. We would love to hear your vote on style 1, 2, or 3 in the pictures that follow. The first is most traditional, the second is more contemporary, and the third is a hybrid of both. All three of these faucets were found on signaturehardware.com. To get a better idea of the style of our whole house, you can see the plan at http://wholesteading.com/2014/04/26/final-elevations-and-floor-plans-new-design/
Thanks for your opinions!

Comments (9)Casey -- that is really beautiful! Did you stain either the cherry or the maple? I really like the contrast. Raehelen -- the fir is what was there, so we're kind of stuck with it (it's through the DR and LR too so would be really expensive to redo). Among many other worries I have is the job our kids are going to do to the floors. Pharaoh -- we also looked at red birch, but thought it was too dark. Yellow pine looked very interesting, but the piece we looked at had lots of strong vertical lines and seemed very dramatic....See MoreShaker style or raised panel cabinets?
Comments (3)When comparing the specific choices offered, I liked the shaker best. It is also more consistent with what you did upstairs. In general I prefer raised panel, but as I said the shaker here is better IMO....See MoreNeed Opinions About Shaker Cabinets Please (pic.)
Comments (7)We live in a classic 1916 bungalow, and the original kitchen had a hood similar to this. Here's a picture taken the day we purchased the house. Unfortunately we could not salvage this hood, but I thought it was an interesting element considering the age of the house. Since craftsman and shaker styles are so similar, I think the answer to your question is DEFINITELY!

Comments (17)I was going with Sherwin Williams because they carry vinyl safe paint in any color desired. My painter was planning to use Luxor primer prior to duration paint. Lot to unpack. I think you're talking about LOXON masonry primer/sealer. LOXON/Duration is not the right strategy for masonry. I encourage everyone involved to ask more questions, get more info. I'm saying don't do it. It's Vinyl Safe Colors. Not paint. Sherwin-Williams, Benjamin Moore and PPG all have vinyl safe colors. Sherwin-Williams has a collection of 100 VinylSafe colors. The color codes start with VS. No VS specific color collateral besides online and in-store brochure The colors are regular SW colors, reformulated and renamed. Store has a cross-reference sheet. So you can use color chips and Color To Go Jugs if you cross-reference. VS colors available only in Emerald Exterior Latex Paint, Duration Exterior Latex Coating, Resilience Exterior Latex or SuperPaint Exterior Latex Paint. Benjamin Moore has 75 vinyl safe colors Same names/codes as regular colors Available in any of their exterior bases I am an expert on Light and Solar Reflectance Values with regard to exterior application of color. Bottom line, I'd never paint an exterior vinyl product darker than its original factory color. I'd still choose a vinyl safe color, just never a darker vinyl safe color....See More

9 years agoI actually like this one best because it has the lever with the white porcelain like the knob centers and hand held. Looks very nice on that tub. This shows how they would look installed too.

9 years agoA little different option. Looks great with the tub. I think if you are going to embrace that farmhouse style the faucets with the tub should match that. This would be the one I would pick for myself. I love the ease of the lever over the knobs especially with my arthritis, and the cleanness of the look.
