Even though we are on a tight budget for the house remodel, I wanted to be sure to stick with quality, trusted brands for the major purchases like appliances and fixtures. That being said, it was pretty easy for me to pick out our new bathroom faucet because I knew I wanted it to be from Moen.
Moen has been a trusted name in plumbing fixtures for many years, starting way back in 1937 where Al Moen designed the first single handle mixing faucet. Moen absolutely stands by their products 100% by not only offering a Limited Lifetime Warranty to protect against leaks and drips but also a LifeShine Finish that guarantees to not tarnish, corrode or flake off! They have taken the time to listen to the consumer and come up with so many Smart Innovations that really set their products apart, like a Spot Resist finish. Um…as a parent who has little hands that like to touch everything, this feature is pretty stinkin neato!!
Moen was kind enough to allow me to choose a bathroom fixture to review and trying to keep in “vintage” theme to match the clawfoot tub we ordered, I chose the Kingsley Wall Mount Faucet in the brushed nickel finish.

As we come to a close on the structural components of the house, I’m getting giddy to be able to finally install this beauty in the bathroom. I’ve found a really cute old 1920’s wash stand from a nearby antique store.

We plan on sanding this down, re-painting it and adding a granite or marble surface to place a vessel sink. The wall mounted Moen faucet will definitely give our bathroom vanity the final touch, making our bathroom a highlight of our little beach cottage.

As you can see, we are not quite ready to install the faucet, but it’s pretty darn close! You can see the copper plumbing is already ready and waiting for the faucet and we are moving on to drywalling.
I can’t wait to be able to share the “after” photos with you (hopefully in the next month or so), but in the mean time I am so very pleased to announce our grand finale Sizzlin’ Summer Sweeps prize up for giveaway!
