And our first decision is always… what will the finish be?!
Our current top two finishes are POLISHED NICKEL and CHROME.

According to Houzz, read on the find out the difference between the two finishes!
POLISHED NICKEL:
If you like a smooth, shiny finish but are tired of chrome, try polished nickel.
It’s darker than chrome, and with different levels of lighting,
it can appear to change in color.

Advantages: Easy to clean. A durable finish. A great alternative to brushed nickel.
Disadvantages: More expensive. It’s hard to find matching accessories or fixtures for it.
Styles it works with: Like chrome, it looks great in a variety of settings: modern,
contemporary, traditional and eclectic.
CHROME:
Chrome is currently one of the most popular finishes because of its versatility.

Disadvantages: Shows water spots and fingerprints.
Styles it works with: Almost every style.
So what’s your style? Your “finish of choice”??
