Fixtures

I went to look at bathroom fixtures and sinks last night. I think I am going to go with a pedestal sink made by American Standard.

This bugs me because the only reason they do this is to eliminate price competition, but what are you going to do? They also sell Williamsburg style fixtures. Though they come in a lot of different finishes, I think I will pick the regular chrome with ceramic handles. They come with a lifetime warranty on the finish and operation, so they should last. They use washerless ceramic valves so they shouldn't drip either.

Then I can get shower and tub fixtures that match as well. There are still tons of choices to be made. One is whether I want to get individual hot and cold knobs in the shower or the single knob. I'm thinking individual knobs. For the sink they have a low faucet and a high faucet. Mom says she likes the high faucet better.

I always like the look of these, but then I think about all the stuff we have hidden under our sinks. I wonder, where that will all go? Ex: extra rolls of TP.

The main bathroom has a closet, so there is plenty of storage in that bathroom. But in my bathroom I will have a vanity to store stuff.

All fixtures are bought and in my van. Not the sink, though. Doesn't the bead board back of the pedestal sink look nice?
