Thanks Mike. Our designer recommended those handles as well, so maybe it’s a sign!

Hi Juli. Yep, we did the little plastic attachment. Not sure if it's necessary or not, but it's barely noticeable, and I think you can take it off if you want. As for the cabinet handles, they are the Linnea 4019. Love them.

Hello Mike. I have another couple of questions for you, if that’s ok (and if you remember). We are getting ready to get our shower doors from Distinctive Glass as well, and I want to know if you got the plastic attachment at the bottom of the shower door, that prevents water from spilling out. Or did you not need to do so?
Also, do you remember what cabinet handles you got for bathroom and kitchen?

Thank you Mike. We are getting so close to completing our house (if I could only figure out what to do with exterior colors as well).

Have a great weekend,

Juli

You'll love the Flipside. Make sure to pull the yellow flow regulator out. You can still find the Pacifica online apparently. Not sure where our plumber got ours. Probably Keller Supply? And yes, same wood throughout the house.

Mike,

We are as well following your recommendation for the Kohler flipside and are excited to use it!
Toilets – I love the simplicity of yours and also that it’s just a simple single flush. However I cannot seem to find this model anywhere. Do you mind sharing where you purchased yours from, or if you know where I can find them?

Also, did you go with the same cabinets (wood and stain) for kitchen and all bathrooms, or did you switch it up?
Thanks again,

Juli

Mike, thanks for the prompt reply and for sharing that information with me. I think I will go with something similar in my new kitchen.

Thanks Juli. In the kitchen, we used Chroma quartz countertops from Pental. I believe they were a little cheaper than Caesarstone. I'm not sure what the name of the color was but it looks like "Alpine" on this page. Basically, they are white, with a very subtle speckling to them. For the bathrooms, we used Cambria in the Sussex color (looks more like a Lagos Blue color in real life).

Mike, first of all, congratulations on this amazing house that you built! It’s a huge inspiration. If you don’t mind, I would love to know what material/color you used for your countertops, both kitchen and bathroom ones.

Thank you,

Juli

Clay: The tiles are holding up great so far. Squeaky clean.

Hello! great blog! I’m wondering now that you’re all moved into the house, how well are the textured tiles holding up on the bathroom walls for cleaning purposes?

Thanks!
