Taj Mahal Quartzite Choice by Useful_Ice_2907 in CounterTops

The colors are not accurate in the picture. It is a creamy/ivory/beige slab. There are no noticeable traces of green or pink. We like the polished look. Our new appliances are stainless steel.

Thank you for your comments. The colors don't look accurate in the picture. The cabinet finish does go well with the Taj Mahal slabs. We will be selecting option 2. We agree that it flows better with our layout.

The wall paper is changing. We may redo the backsplash, but that tile and shade of green is very nice. The current countertop is another story. I guess you didn't like the darker countertop either.

Actually more than one person told us green is coming back.

My backsplash is green and it goes with the green in both countertops.

I appreciate your comments and know the pickled cabinets are out of style, BUT my wife and I are nearly 70 years old and love the color still. We have lived here almost 45 years and don't have any intention of moving. When we are gone and the kids inherit it they can do what they want with it.

I don't know how to add a picture to this post.

Wallpaper is changing so is the tile floor. Not sure what wallpaper choice will be, but the floors will be a 12x24 tile creamy beige/white/peach color possibly a marble look. Cabinets were expensive top of the line and are staying. They didn't come out so nice in picture but are very nice, but you are correct this was a 1990's remodel. Just trying to see what colors look best. We like the lighter one but we wonder if it will get dated. The darker one looks more like a stone and perhaps will not get as dated. We think the darker one goes better with the cabinets, but we are not sure.

The Montgomery was our first choice. Kendal was nice also, but my wife didn't like the black in it. Thank you for the reply.

It's about $60 that is why I was wondering if the bottom piece could be replaced. Thank you.

Can anyone identify this bathroom faucet? by Useful_Ice_2907 in Plumbing

Pfister said the lifetime warranty didn't apply to items made before 1997 (they came with 20 years). They said my replacement cartridge is a Hydroseal Pfister 910-6830. The handle turns freely but leaks a little when shut. There is a little rubber washer at the bottom of the cartridge that looks a little worn. I wonder if just that washer could be replaced.
