I decided to write this post separately instead of further burdening the one which I just wrote and titled Bathroom Re-model Layout Advice #2.
We are remodeling a bathroom and plan on using a piece of furniture as vanity. It will have a wooden top which we are refinishing and will coat with urethane or the like. We will use a painted ceramic fired sink (like a vessel sink) which has no holes for faucets. We will cut the top so that it will be supported by its rim. We are planning on using a wall mounted faucet that is designed for kitchens. We are thinking that we could put an elongated soap dish behind the sink to catch water drips from wet hands using the faucets.
I read on another posting on this same forum from lhparker on 01-30-2005 (Wall mounted lavatory faucest-good,bad,ugly?) about the concerns about wall mounted faucet splashing. To minimize these problems, I will put a globe valve in the water lines which feed the faucets and have them in the wall covered by a simple access panel.
We only have found 2 faucets that we like: Kingston Brass cat. #KS1248PX and Cifial cat. # 267.260.620. The selection is quite limited because we want satin nickel. For the sink drain, I am planning on a lift & turn type but haven't yet found a Mfgr. & pt. #.
Does anyone have any suggestions of how I should do it differently or hardware mfgrs. and sources. Kingston Brass is much cheaper than most faucets; are they considered reliable and of adequate quality?
