I just received my Newport Brass towel rods, tp holder and wall faucet for our bathroom reno and they are absolutely incredible. I chose the polished nickel, which was a splurge, but after seeing the beautiful finish and feeling the weight (really heavy), I would have to say they were well worth the price!

It took me a month but I did call a glass company and the mirror is now gone! It was funny, I called around and got quotes for $200, $150, and $75. I asked the guy who would do it for $75 to come and do the job. I explained that it was 81 inches by 67 inches but I think his English was limited. He showed up today all alone! So he said, "That's too heavy for one person." and I thought he went to his truck to call in backup. He came back with his ladder and a suction cup and started to yank this huge 1/4 inch thick mirror off the wall. It popped right off with about 6 repositions of the suction cup. He asked if I wanted it in my garage. I said, "No, you're going to haul this away for me." He said, "No, I will cut it up and put it in the garbage." I was skeptical but I went with it. Then it was loose and he kept saying, "This is too heavy for one person. It weighs 300 pounds." So I watched as he cut the mirror into two pieces and lowered them to the floor. He cut those into long strips. Then he carried the strips outside where he found three trash cans on the cul-de-sac to spread the weight (it was trash day, yay!) and cut the strips into small pieces. The trash truck rolled by within the hour so my neighbors will never know that we borrowed their cans. There are some circles of mastic remaining on the wall, no big deal. The mirror was glued to the builder's original beige primer, so we know it was original to the house (1985). I have a painter coming in an hour to give me an estimate, I'm so glad it is not a huge mess for him. Thank you to everyone who weighed in on this project! I wanted to pick a paint color before I removed the mirror and that took me a month! We chose Benjamin Moore Concord Ivory- I can't wait until it's done!

The glue they use to adhere the top to the cabinet is stronger joint than what is there in the top construction. Simply buy a demo crow bar and hammer it in between the blocks and counter NOT the block and the cabinet. It will easily break free. Particle board is weak and will splinter into pieces. If you have a saw you can cut out the center of the counter giving better access to the blocks. Also you would be separating smaller sections. Fix your valve you can flood your entire home.

I just painted this powder room and my son just snapped the towel bar so I don't know if I should use a bar style again or go with a ring? Also, I need an outside opinion regarding colour, stainless steel like the faucet or black like the light? Currently the toilet paper holder is white like the broken towel holder currently on the wall...I guess I need to match that to the towel holder? I worry about my patch job when removing these things, any tips?
