Monday afternoon we met with our builder again. Have I mentioned how much we like our builder?! Anyway, we went to discuss some changes we'd made (that we decided to 'unchange') and check on some things. All went well, but we were told it was time to pick out our bathroom fixtures. So...off we went, yesterday afternoon, to Ferguson to make some decisions.
As we waited for our sales associate, Tim and I wandered around the showroom. We learned two things: (1) everything is overpriced and (2) there wasn't much we liked. When our saleswoman (who was extraordinarily nice) came to us, she was able to dismiss our apprehension. She showed us some "normal" tub surrounds that we chose for the kids' bathroom and the other full bath. We discussed our master shower and she had some great advice for us on that. Then, she pulled some faucets out that weren't on the showroom floor. We decided to go with this for our bathroom faucets.
The only thing we knew walking into the appointment was that we wanted the oil-rub finish on everything. Our saleswoman was great and pointed out some neat stuff.
For the kitchen, though, I was being a pain. There was literally nothing in the store I liked. I knew what I didn't want, but that seemed to be all they had. Finally, we decided on something much like this photo (except this isn't quite the right finish).
I couldn't find pix of the shower head we chose, but we went with an H20Kinetic system. We also chose the more efficient toilets. We are on a well, so we want to be as conservative as possible with our water usage. A friend of Tim's has an H20Kinetic shower in his house and loves it.
Next up will be appliances and lighting fixtures.
