Please Help Me Choose KWC Pull-Out Faucet (Pics)
Comments (10)Thanks everyone for your input! It really helps! Davidro1 - you were so right about communicating with customer service (slapping my forehead - why didn't I think of that). I actually called them, and they were so helpful. Here's what they told me (in case anyone else on the Forum is looking at KWC too): Splendure SS vs. solid SS finishes - KWC's Splendure finish is an imitation SS with a PVD coating, an electronic process which makes it stronger and more durable that real SS. Splendure SS won't tarnish or darken with age. KWC's "Solid SS" is exactly that. Solid stainless steel has oils in it and will darken after some years and need polishing. Why the Luna specs don't mention a lockable spray - the Luna faucet actually does have a locking spray (as Chipongo noted above). But to reset the Luna back to regular flow, you either have to turn off the faucet, or lower the handle to lower the water pressure until it goes to regular flow. On the other KWC faucets I am looking at you turn the button to reset back to regular flow (I'm not quite sure I get the "turning" action, I'll have to look at that in the showroom). Side handle vs. handle in the back - solely personal preference, except if you have left-handed family members who would do better with handle in the back. Systema side handle vs. Domo side handle - in Europe, the Systems side handle style is considered more modern, and the Domo side handle style is considered to be traditional (vs. U.S., where "traditional faucet" means a more "colonial" look). The rep advised looking at my appliances and cabinet handles to help choose. I.e. if my appliances are e.g. Gaggenau (or the like), and my handles are the modern tubular style, then the Systema would fit better. If my appliances are more GE/Whirlpool (not his words, my words, cause our appliances are!), then the Domo would fit better. Any other input would be welcome.

Comments (28)Hi, Thanks to all for your votes and advise. Here is a "small" picture of the cabinets. Everything else is being changed but the cabinets. Right now I have brass on the cabinets. Now, I'm thinking should I go with Oil rubbed bronze instead of satin nickel? What do you think? I'm thinking this because the backsplash tile will have some bronze accent tiles and the light fixture over my kitchen table will be dark bronze. I think the ORB hardware will contrast better with the cabinets...ahyayay!!!...See MorePlease help me choose rug for foyer - size, style, new or used?
Comments (11)Thanks, prairiedawn. My style actually is more of a rustic/modern country style rather than traditional, although I have a mix of everything! I used BM Baby Turtle in the powder room and laundry room, which are adjacent to the foyer, SW Artifact in the great room, which is just beyond the foyer, and SW Believable Buff and Camelback throughout the rest of the house. roseabby, I spoke to the salesman at Macys and he also mentioned a 2'6" runner may be out of scale. The problem is I do NOT want to cover up most of the wood flooring. Would a smaller area rug placed horizontally across the front doors, rather than a larger run placed vertically in the room, look strange? The two doors are 6' wide and the entire wood entry is approx. 10' wide....See MoreLots of PICS of paint tests - please help me choose!
Comments (27)Don't even know how many homes I've put RG in at this point. I will tell you that I don't put RG and Blonde together much any more unless there is substantial natural light. Reason being you can hardly tell the difference between the two. In a couple of homes that's worked out well. Blonde was just a snidge lighter than RG so it all looked like the same color, but in the individual spaces the lightness of Blonde helped *lift* that area whereas the RG would have been too dark. If a definite difference between areas is desired, I pair RG with Believeable Buff. BB ended up being what several people thought Blonde would have/should have looked like next to RG. Had a couple clients repaint Blonde with BB because they thought there would be more of a difference. I suggested only partial repaints for them because RG worked out great just needed to tweak the contrast with BB. If you sample in your space and you can easily see a diff between Blonde and RG, it should be fine. Just be aware and really look before you decide. Don't assume RG and Blonde are a good pairing just because of how they are ordered on the strip....See Morepractigal
