Do we need this?


I need your help please! The sink we chose is exposed underneath which means the drain trap and water supply lines will be exposed. Originally, I thought all that we needed and all that was available were the standard "plumber grade" chrome pipes. 
Then I saw that Restoration Hardware sold decorative water supply kits.  Designed to match the style and finish of my faucet no less



When searching for less expensive options, I found this

and this



and even this


Apparently, Chris and I have been living under a rock because we didn't know such a thing existed. Tell me please, is a "decorative" water supply worth the splurge?

(Btw, to see just how far we've come, click on the "Powder Room Renovation" link under LABELS on the left hand side of this blog.)

Swoon I love the second one! Do you need to have them? No. Are they the icing on the cake? Yes! In period homes that's how the sinks would have been constructed; with lots of attention to details. So if you can fit it in the budget it will make the sink feel like it's always been there. You know what I mean?

Apparently, I live under that same rock. If I had known about them, I would have made my husband get it for our previous home...

Seeing the ugly pipes always bugged me, but I assumed you just had to 'deal' when you had a pedestal sink.

I say that it's worth it!

Yes I would do it! You won't be sad if you do but...you might be sad if you don't.

Definitely worth the splurge if it's in the budget- especially in a powder room!
