Am I stuck with this Shower Control?
Comments (3)Thank you for the quick responses! EngineerChic, the shower valve is Brizo Virage T60030 in polished nickel. It's really just the actual lever handle that I don't like. It just does not fit the look of a traditional bathroom. The sink faucet is already installed. It's a different make and model all together. The matching shower valve didn't come in polished nickel, that's why I went with a different manufacturer. I posted a link. I'm being picky, I know. It's the shower, no one but my daughter will see it for the most part. I just really don't like that lever. Here is a link that might be useful: Faucet Direct...See MoreHelp, I am stuck, and I don't know what to do
Comments (38)nwdrip- Thanks for chiming in! I am thankful for any advice and I appreciate you commenting on my thread. I think painting the back of the cabs dark brown would be really cool with some colorful dishes. Suero- I never would have picked a rug like that, but you are right, it works. My only thing is that I am, in general, trying to avoid red. I had red accents all over my last apartment, and I want to go for a different feel. However, I get to see what a teal looks like, and how patterns interact with my curtains, so thank you!!! I have continued to look at other rugs. Hubby has been almost no help. He is very picky on what he wants, but he won't help me look. I have browsed through approximately 4000 rugs by now, and every suggestion I have had, he has shot down. :( Here are some of my favorites right now. Please tell me what you guys think: A B C D E F G Hubby wants a border around the edge, doesn't want flowers, only wants a hint of color, doesn't want stripes, doesn't want beige. Please note that most of *my* faves at least have one of those things. This one that I posted earlier appears to still be hubby's favorite: But he's not sold on it....See MoreI have my sofa and coffee table, now I am stuck....
Comments (11)You should check and see if there are any auctions near you. We have a wonderful antique auction near me and my friend has snagged some of the coolest rugs for as little as a 200.00. I had no idea the auction existed until she told me. Thought I would share. Here is one of her many various rugs. They are original and come from turkey, India, Bali etc. Super cool....See MoreI am stuck. Two sink options, two countertop materials.
Comments (13)Ok, thanks all, I'll use the Soltiere stainless sink on the main island with the White Macaubas. Question below on other sink... Kirkhall - The (now) stainless sink on my island will be my everything sink. The other (undetermined) sink with be everybody else's everything sink, and I'll make it just big enough to be useful if needed as an extra prep sink. lascatx - Both are undermounted sinks. And, thanks for the reference points on stainless! a2gemini - I am a total Silgranit fan. I wish I could make my own color. I waited to see what the Cinder would look like, and there is now a sample Cinder Silgranit sink in a local showroom, but it fell flat with both the black and the WM. The backsplash that will be on the wall behind the "extra" sink is a warm gray glazed brick. (YAY FOR HAVING A BACKSPLASH ALREADY SELECTED!) But, the metallic gray Silgranit looked bad with the backsplash brick. So, if I do Silgranit, it looks like it will be black on black... Oldbat2be - Every time I see your backsplash, I think that you are probably a really fun person to know. Not old-bat-ish at all. Thanks for the pics. In case anyone is still reading... I am including an architect's rendering of the space we are building. The room is built now. Staining will happen shortly, and cabinets are just now being built. You can see the main sink (now stainless!) on the middle island. The islands and also the wall behind the range are the White Macaubas. The cabinet stretch on the left wall (perpendicular to the islands) will be the breakfast/serving/drink/etc space, and will have the leathered black countertop with the extra sink on the far end. Backsplash is warm gray glazed brick. Cabinet stain and beams are a darker walnut. Floors and ceiling are natural. You can see the proximity of the sinks. So, picturing that serving space, are you still seeing the anthracite sink, or does this sink need to be stainless given that the main sink (thanks!) is now stainless? Next time I start a thread? I'll try to include the pics up front! The rendering looks "dark", but the two walls you can't see are mostly all glass. IRL, there is lot's of natural light....See MoreButternut
