Fixtures and Fittings

The tub looks like the face of a person saying "Oh!"

Sometimes making choices can be really difficult. When we had to choose our bathroom fixtures we didn't want to go with anything too similar to the ones we have in our other bathroom; yet we chose those because we liked them so much, so it made sense that the ones we liked the best looked the same as those. We had to work really hard to go with something else. Did you know that polished nickel and polished chrome are completely different finishes (especially in price!)? And that polished nickel is very different from brushed nickel, which is actually the same as satin nickel? Like I said, choices are difficult.

We ended up with the polished nickel finish. It's a lovely shiny surface with a little more depth than the chrome. Now that things have been installed, I'm wondering how hard it's going to be to keep them all this shiny. Still, they look nice, don't you think? We especially like the little HOT and COLD ceramic disks that fit on the tub and sink faucets. It's a tiny little feature but somehow it adds a lovely touch of flair to the room. I almost wanted the ones that said CHAUD and FROID, but then I thought that might be just a tad too pretentious, n'est-ce pas?

The vanity isn't in yet, but I promise photos as soon as we have it. In the meantime, you can look at this lovely toilet.

Yes, it flushes!
