After reading this post, you will officially know that I am a design geek. I am now going to admit that walking into a bathroom or kitchen and seeing beautiful plumbing fixtures makes my heart beat just a little faster and puts a smile on my face.
Michael Smith designs some of the most elegant plumbing fixtures I have ever seen.
His Country Collection has a lovely traditional feel. The curved handles are wonderfully detailed.
I found this image of the Michael Smith Country faucet paired with his Country Console on the Ann Sacks website.
Michael Smith's Town series feels a bit modern, yet it is perfectly suited for a more traditional bathroom.
I loved the way it looked in this bathroom that Steve and I designed.
The bath tub faucet is my favorite piece in this collection.
The Perrin & Rowe line from Rohl is also a favorite of mine.
Their Traditional Country spout faucet is a little heavy for me, but I think their Low Level spout is quite pretty.
Steve used this same faucet with cross handles in a powder blue bathroom with Carrera marble.
They also make a beautiful tub filler.
Perrin & Rowe also make one of the best looking kitchen bridge faucets.
Here is the same faucet in brushed nickel finish (paired with a stainless steel farmhouse sink) in a kitchen that Steve designed.
I love how that same faucet in brushed Nickel looks underneath these industrial pendant lights in the same finish.
If you like the look of the bridge faucet, Barber Wilson in the UK makes a gorgeous one as well as a regular three whole kitchen faucet. We used both in this kitchen.
When Steve and I re-modeled our bathroom, I knew that I would use the Waterworks Julia line. I am fortunate to work with Vicki at the Waterworks showroom in Santa Monica.
Because we were using a very narrow antique cabinet for our sink base, I chose the Julia wall mount faucet.
I know I have posted this image before, but I really think the faucet with lever handles looks great with my sink.
The Julia tub filler is also stunning.
We used the Waterworks Amelie collection in this French bathroom.
Here is a close up image of the faucet from the Waterworks website.
The Amelie shower set is a work of art. Look at that gorgeous back plate on the thermostatic valve.
For a more traditional bathroom, I like the Waterworks Etoile series. We are using it in a home
that is almost complete (photos coming in soon). Here is an image of the faucet from the Waterworks website.
Newport Brass makes some beautiful plumbing fixtures for reasonable prices.
Their 920 Series has very elegant lines and looks so pretty in this bathroom with the Mission Tile West Revival series tile and a Carrera slab counter top.
The 920 also has very lovely tub fittings as well.
We used the 930 Series in our bathroom in Santa Monica.
The 920 also has beautiful tub fittings that Steve used in this bathroom.
The 943 Series worked wonderfully in our kitchen.
For a more industrial look, I like the Dornbracht Tara Classic that Steve used in this kitchen.
