Hi there, friends.
It's Thursday and for some of you that means a long weekend ahead!
woohoo!
I think we have chosen a fire clay sink to grace our kitchen.
That was stressful. Those bad boys are pri-cey.
I've made some sacrifices in my dream kitchen.
The apron sink was one finish my husband and I weren't willing to let go of.
I'll let you know when it's ordered.
now I need your help.
It's the little details that often make a room special.
The hardware and fixtures are the jewels of the room.
the cherry on top.
I've got my eye on a few bridge kitchen faucets.
Again, if i could splurge for a perrin and rowe faucet, I absolutely would.
I haven't ruled it out entirely (ha!) but I found a few economical versions
that I believe would serve the purpose and look lovely.
I'd love your opinion and preference!
I found this giagni chrome faucet for $149 on overstock.
This is the glacier bay lyndhurst and could be found at home depot for $104.
Very nice price.
I know which way I'm leaning, but I'd like to hear your thoughts.
Now, the backsplash.
Beadboard vs. subway tile.
My husband and the carpenter are swaying me from beadboard.
Why? I think it would work fabulously with our butcher block counters.
Here are some photos of subway tile. Another classic look I fall for
time and time again.
That faucet...gah! Drooling over here.
You really can't go wrong...right?
I'm all ears, ladies and gents!
I'm still planning on using a skirt under the sink.
And I'm back to chrome hardware on my drawers.
That will be tough pickings as well.
One thing at a time...!
hope to hear from you.

While I really LOVE both beadboard and subway tile, I would go with the subway tile because it will be easier to care for over time and keep clean :) We put it in our last kitchen and I absolutely loved it. Would/WILL definitely do it again!
ReplyDeleteI think we had that same faucet from HD in our last house, it's been long enough that I don't recognize the brand but that's the style and approx price we paid :)
My mom redid her kitchen last summer and also chose a fireclay apron sink. She has been very happy with it and it was about half the cost of the Kohler or Rhol cast iron versions (although I found my Kohler farmhouse sink on Ebay for $200-new in box!!) My mom ordered her fireclay from Blue Bath and was happy with them as well. Make sure you check out the fluted front options :)
erin - thank you for all of your suggestions! the keeping the beadboard clean has been of concern of mine. you lucky duck! $200 dollars for a kohler? those kinds of things don't happen! wow! i did go on blue bath's website...looks like they do auctions on ebay as well. again, thank you for taking the time to answer all of my questions! ;) i can't wait to see what you do to the country bungalow, if you get it! xo!
DeleteI vote for the first faucet and the subway tile! But all of the options will look great so you can't go wrong :)
