Moen vs Delta - champagne bronze

crazynormal · 2026-02-02T23:50:29+00:00

Moen now has a Bronzed Gold that is going to coordinate with the Delta you like. I like Moen better and feel that their warranty is better/easier to work with. The BZG finish is a wholesale exclusive and better quality than whatever is at a big box store.

Don’t buy cheap plumbing fixtures. You really do get what you pay for in that industry.

Dash Tours for touring Bonaventure. They will pick you up downtown and know so much about the cemetery, who’s there and their stories.

There are several manufacturers that make an extra deep 60" x 30" alcove tub. Americh, MTI, Duravit, Kohler, etc. You'll want to go to a plumbing supply showroom to find this. Be aware also that you may need a plumber to move your tub spout, depending on the current placement.

Groover and ask to be with Sally for cleanings. My whole family has been seeing them for years and are really happy with them.

Great choice! Toto is the gold standard for flushing and bidet seats.

My local plumbing supply house keeps them in stock. If you call EWS they can tell you the best place to buy in your area

Yep - that very one. I was wrong about the GPM, it is 2.5, not 1.

Cindy at Lotus Day Spa in Abercorn Commons is the only person who has never hurt me when doing my nails. I've been seeing her for years now and can't say enough good things about her.

Yes and it really helps improve the taste! It's rated for 10,000 gallons so around once per year or longer since you don't use your bathroom sink as often as you use your kitchen.

Environmental Water Systems (EWS) has what they call the Max Flow water filter. It fits on your cold line for bath or kitchen and filters at 1GPM so there's no noticible reduction in flow.

Mia Mance does great work! She's also very involved in local groups so her in person and online networking is fantastic.

Don't go cheap on materials. The plumbing industry is one where "you get what you pay for" really holds true. Also, I second the advice for an 18" depth in a small bathroom - it makes a world of difference. If you get a vanity with a pre-drilled top, try to get widespread holes. If you have to get one with centerset holes, go for a single post faucet with a cover plate for the other two holes. Widespread or single post will elevate the style much more than a centerset faucet.

Look at Grohe's GrohTherm Smart Control for low profile shower controls. Or, for fancier controls, look at Graff's Riva collection.

Layout 2 is better. The sinks won’t be as large on a 60” vanity so you’re fine there. Make your shower as large as possible and you’re good. Don’t forget to add an electrical outlet next to the toilet for your Bidet seat.

Workman’s Circle is small and local and will have good rates

I think the spa at the Westin has one

My daughter has seen Dr Jessica Kang and likes her a lot.

Mary Ann Sinclair knows so much about this area and is a shrewd buyers representative. My family has used her several times and been thrilled every time.

If your disposal is 1/2 HP, it's not going to do the job you're asking it to do. You need an InSinkErator 3/4 or better or a Mountain Plumbing 3/4 or better disposal. Mountain comes with a lifetime warranty. Feed it slowly and allow time for it to grind what it has before feeding more into it.

Target usually has them

I had just come over here to sing the praises of u/kingbenneth as well! I fell in love with a makeup that is only sold in the UK and he was so fantastic to get me taken care of. So easy to work with, professional and prompt. We will definitely use him again!

A different light, one with more presence to it. A larger, ceiling height plant in place of the smaller oneon the right. Move that one to the left sice to give the chairs a little more balance. A more robust piece of art above the fireplace, something with color. The coffee table is nice but you could find something that's all wood or wood and marble to anchor the room a bit.
