One or two years ago our kitchen sink faucet had a problem and rather than repair it, I decided to upgrade to a more convenient form factor. I also decided not to go with the our homes original "Aged Copper" theme and went for the "brushed stainless" figuring that later changes in the kitchen would be easier if the colors were more "generic". I chose a Price Pfister Ashfield 529.T529 Series Single Control Faucet in brushed stainless.
This week our island prep sink failed and I thought that finally I would get to swap out the remaining Aged Copper fixture for brushed stainless and complete the set. After some research and a call to Price Pfister I was disappointed to learn that while the Ashfield collection does have a number of examples of prep/bar faucets, they are all in finishes other than brushed stainless.
My stepfather was an architect. I remember in the mid sixties he would go to his catalogs and order what was needed for additions to buildings that he had designed years earlier. It seems to me he was able to reorder the same exact units so that these additions were virtually indistinguishable from the original construction. I remember he depended on Kohler and American Standard.
If I should ever have to live in another house for which I may want to change kitchen fixtures, which manufacturer keeps its styles and finishes consistent over a long period of time so that they do not become obsolete quickly simply as a matter of style?
Thanks
