Design Help Needed! - Mixing metals in Kitchen......
Comments (38)I really like number 5, the white and gold one, but it's not right for the setting. Number 4 is very striking and would probably work. Number 3 is too mid/mod. For me, it's in the same category as 5 - cool but not right. Number 2 will be safe (three across). I don't like 1 or 6 at all. HTH...See MoreNeed help choosing a faucet in a mixed-metal kitchen
Comments (19)Here's out it turned out. I ordered in several, stuck them up near the sink and new countertops, decided on the matte black with brass accents. Then my husband came home and when I showed him the faucet I picked out, he had a man meltdown over the stainless steel sink and "weird faucet". (He's so 2003) . Sidebar on sinks: I went on Zillow and pulled up houses that are listed for over a million dollars in our city to prove that 8 out of 10 had basically the same stainless steel type sink and it's not "cheap" looking.

Can you print out a color picture of the faucet you're considering and just place it in the area and see how you like it?...See MoreMixing metals in kitchen
Comments (3)For cabinet hardware you can go brushed nickel (I think that's the one that matches stainless appliances), or a champagne gold to match your lighting fixtures. Make them champagne gold...not gold. I am getting champagne gold faucets and cabinet hardware. I will have linen/ORB colored lighting fixtures and stainless steel appliances. We will also have white cabinets....See MoreP Banos
