One Room Challenge {Week 2} – Choosing a Modern Faucet

Welcome to calendar week 2 of the six calendar week One Room Challenge,! If you lot checked inwards in conclusion week, together with then you’ll know that nosotros are renovating our principal bath this fourth dimension around! This calendar week we’re showing off roughly of our demolition together with telling you lot why nosotros are going to the endeavor of moving a wall… only seven inches, lol. Since all of our beautiful faucets together with fillers are here, I wanted to part roughly of the things nosotros considered when choosing our modern faucet too!

*This postal service was sponsored past times Delta Faucet Canada. As always, opinions are 100% my own. For to a greater extent than information, delight meet my disclosure page.*

The outset measuring of every renovation is demo. We finished all of the demolition for this infinite inwards only 2 days. We position upward a barrier to 1) Keep kids out of the bath renovation space, together with 2) to perish along the reno dust in. *spoiler alert… neither ane is working out likewise well… lol* 

The foreign affair almost our abode is that nosotros don’t accept a basement. It was built exclusively on a concrete slab. So when nosotros decided to rearrange roughly of the plumbing, nosotros knew nosotros would accept to chip concrete to larn to it. And that’s non the only conclusion nosotros made amongst large consequences!

The other affair we’ve decided to do, is displace our bath wall over a amount of seven inches, lol. Yes, only seven inches. Take downwardly the one-time wall, brand novel subfloor, frame a novel wall together with complete it off… sounds similar a lot of piece of job for only a duo of inches! Buuuut inwards moving the wall that footling bit, nosotros larn a TON to a greater extent than business office out of the space!

That footling fleck of motility gives upward the 30″ of passageway that nosotros ask betwixt fixtures. It also allows us to add together inwards roughly narrow cabinetry, finally giving us all of the storage that nosotros need! (sidenote: when nosotros moved here, nosotros moved into a bigger abode that had waaaaay less storage than our one-time home!)

So we’ve ripped the wall down, together with already started rebuilding, but I’ll salve those concrete chipping photos for adjacent week.

The other affair I wanted to create is present off all of our gorgeous faucets together with fillers!

When nosotros were choosing faucets, nosotros wanted them to remain inwards business amongst the trend of our home, which nosotros ordinarily depict every bit modern. But what is a modern faucet?? Here’s how nosotros defined it

1. Colour – We wanted to accept bath accessories inwards either the matte dark or champagne bronze finish, because it typically looks a footling to a greater extent than chic these days. More thence than a chrome or antiqued bronze for example. We used the matte dark faucet inwards our kitchen together with previous bath together with LOVED it both times. This fourth dimension nosotros opted for the champagne bronze finish because it’s GORGEOUS together with something dissimilar for us!

2. Shape – Shape actually defines what looks modern or contemporary together with for us, that ordinarily way conduct lines. We didn’t desire multiple arches or twists inwards the lines, together with nosotros didn’t desire the metallic to shift inwards size (e.g. larn wider at the top, etc.). The Trinsic collection that nosotros landed on is perfect!

3. Simplicity – This may survive a footling fleck to a greater extent than minimalist than modern, but they both blend together if you lot inquire me! We wanted to avoid likewise many handles, arches, together with pieces. We went for a “less is more” feeling, together with the unmarried handle, high arc on this faucet is just what nosotros were looking for!

4. Technology – Even though nosotros didn’t larn for something automated or touching on less this fourth dimension (because.. well… budgets), whatever added technology scientific discipline ups the modern factor! We accept previously used the TouchH2O technology scientific discipline from Delta Faucet inwards our Kitchen together with Bathrooms together with loved it every time!
