All of the times I've updated bathrooms, I've been too chicken to update the faucets. It involves plumbing and other things I am afraid of. But this year I sucked it up, watched a few Youtube videos (what did people do before the internet? I can barely remember living without it!) and got to work.
You can kind of see the old contractor grade chrome faucet here -
I had friends over for a gaming night, which turned into a "I'm listening to them game while I tear apart my sink and cuss a lot" night, but I got it finished!
(And officially, the reason it took me so long was that a part had been cross-threaded on the original, so it took me a while to tear everything out)
I love the whole oil-rubbed bronze thing.
And I did it! All by myself!
Looks good I love oil rubbed bronze as well
ReplyDeleteThanks! I do love the look. It's just so pretty and classic (and it shows dirt less!)
DeleteGreat job. I love the feeling when you do something for the first time. Love the finish on the faucet. I need to do a lot of switching out of things in my house too.
ReplyDeleteThat feeling is awesome (right behind the "why didn't I try this before?!"). I want to knock out a wall to expand a closet into dead space, and I'm terrified of that... but I have friends who will help - I'm hoping I have another one of those "why didn't I do that sooner" moments :)
DeleteMy next realistic goal is switching out the hinges and door handles to match (they're still contractor brass).
You are a very brave woman, the faucet looks great. Congratulations!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much!
