Guest bath with travertine tile surface. The faucet is from the internet. We like it a lot, but if it ever breaks we will have to replace it since there is no indication of the manufacturer.

It took a long time to find the sink, but was worth it in the long run.

That brings a thought to mind. A lot of our friends do not understand why we chose to finish the inside ourselves. There are a lot of reasons, including that we like doing the work. We have learned a lot in the process. One thing we did not realize, though, is that we have a lot more time to find the things we like. If we had had the contractor finish it all decisions on fixtures, faucets, lights, etc. would have been made months ago. We have found it much more relaxing and satisfying to take each project as it comes and wait until we find what we really want. It is a benefit we did not realize would come from finishing it ourselves.
