Matching Sinks, Faucets and Hardware Help to Create the Bathroom of Your Dreams

As is typical for me, I have to rave about the gray tones on display here in this seemingly mirror-less bathroom. I’ve often contemplated replacing my own main floor bathroom’s mirror. You see, it extends all the way down to a level in line with the top of our short faucet fixture, which means without great effort to prevent it, hand washing results in an abundance of water splashing up onto the mirror. It’s such an annoying problem that I sometimes just walk a few step over into the kitchen to wash/dry my hands.

I won’t go too deep here today, but just know that these stunning pulls and matching series knobs are available for purchase at www.WoodworkerExpress.com. Plus, if you want a different look, we’ve got color/finish variety for days, and that’s always a good thing. So, you and I both are disappointed that we don’t carry the missing mirror for this particular bathroom application, but we DO carry an assortment of closet mirrors destined to take your bedroom closet chic to the next level. I realize that is all exciting news, but in your excitement be sure you don’t push past these brilliant acrylic sinks and their accompanying faucets. They complement each other so well while also being essential to the reason this room was walked into to begin with.

Behind the gray cabinet façade, I speculate these cabinets and drawers are mounted with task-specific organizers. Of course, we stock these with a multitude of flexible options…so much so that you’d think they were custom-designed. Care to learn more?

Barn Doors Make an Unexpected Design Element in Your Kitchen.

If ever there was a designer kitchen for me, then this one might be it. But first, a quick upfront reveal for me: My favorite part of this kitchen is easily the pantry’s barn door entry. It’s just not something you see every day and creates a wonderful unexpected design element in any room. Without a doubt, this here is the sweet spot. I don’t know, maybe it’s just the farmer in me, but I love the slide of those barn doors although admittedly I’ve never even been on a farm…except as a youth on an overnight camping trip.

It looks like they took the time to plan this out spectacularly, even down to matching the brands/series of kitchen appliances. Aside from the payment part, picking out new appliances is always a bit of fun. Maybe it’s the fact that if all goes well, you won’t be buying them again for another 20 years or so.

The perfectly aligned knobs from the Amerock Wells Collection here are a real visual treat to take in, especially alongside their complimentarily chosen handles When you live in a world of immense hardware choices, it’s always great to witness the results of a well-thought out pairing.

Additionally, I’m a bit taken here with the nice solid surface island that houses this great Karran sink and faucet combo outfitted with a (unseen) bottom grid to protect against scratches while also helping to ensure a long-lasting luster.

If you (like me) like the things you see here, then know that www.WoodworkerExpress.com is where nearly everything shown here can be found for purchase. We’ve got sinks, faucets, door hardware, knobs, pulls, range hoods, fasteners, accessories, etc. If not just for you, how about a friend, too?

Thanks, and sleep well…

Belly Up to The Bar

Who wants to belly-up to the bar….or at least the kitchen counter? To that end, isn’t this surely a nice kitchen on display here? Fantastic wood tones and great incorporation of one of my favorite hardware finishes: Oil Rubbed Bronze. That finish reminds me of colonial times….not that I’d know anything about that time period, but I will confess, I’ve been accused of sounding like I’m 100 years old with some degree of regularity…can anyone else relate? Speaking of Oil Rubbed Bronze, check out the pulls on the glass-covered cabinet to the right….it matches the stool legs to a “T”. Ditto for the round knobs on the cabinet just above it. Classy!

As I see it, this designer…or creatively talented homeowner has a real knack for “putting it all together”. As pretty as this all is, some of the details that make using it a real pleasure are hardly visible. Those things include soft-close and self-close drawer slides and hinges….and believe me, those details are nice and make a real difference! For practicality’s sake, they can help you successfully sneak a snack in the middle of the night without the loud retracting of the ‘silverware drawer’ to blow your cover — that’s never good. Semi-relatedly, all pet owners know that you’ll NEVER sneak a snack past the dog…no matter what!

Not to get off track, but I have to mention that we’ve got a great selection of kitchen sinks, faucets, and related accessories. After all, what’s a kitchen without a sink and faucet? Technically, it’d probably be considered a lunchbox/cooler combo that you can stand up and socialize in.🙃

Let me try to sum this all up before I go completely off this tangential track to nowhere…If the kitchen you own needs a thing…or ten, to get it whupped back into acceptable aesthetic shape, then WoodworkerExpress.com would be the route to go. Online or via phone, we are the advocates and support system for you and your kitchen rehabilitation. Lean on us to help you make it great!
