My real job - Showcase three sinks seen while in various homes around Seattle. The whole “window-washing” thing is just a front.

Your job - Analyze each choice and pick a favorite.

I dislike the first one the least. But I wouldn’t want any of them.

What the hell is going on with that last one. The plumber must of laughed at that. I like the first one but wouldn’t own it Way too hard to keep clean.

Christ that last one. I can’t have fingerprints or marks on my faucets or phone or anything.

I think I would lose my mind with that.

What bothers me the most about that one is the placement and style of the... Uh... What are they called... Water turny things. To control hot and cold flow. The knobs!

2 and 3 have decent depth and tap reach so you don’t soak yourself or constantly fondle the back of the sink. The taps on 3 make the counter largely useless.

2 it is.

Shouldn’t that be a GFCI outlet??

These are the questions that matter

My choice as well. I like the design too, but the REAL reason I’d go with it... It’s sized for tall people. No bending in half required

I think if that outlet is on the same circuit as a GFCI and downstream of it then it would still meet code.

I just find it the least ugly, I wasn’t basing it on their functionality, haha.

Needs some revisions

If I’m honest, I don’t really like of any of them. 3 I don’t mind from a purely design POV, but I don’t like it’s lack of practicality.

number 3 seems hard to keep clean due to water spots.

Could be GFCI circuit breakers. That’s what I did in my house. Less expensive and more durable.

Holy crap that faucet... Is it plumbed in on the floor above?

Didn’t even see them until you pointed them out. What?!

What’s with the rocks? Is that a thing?

"AestheticsInMotion" (aestheticsinmotion)

I THINK it’s plumbed through where it connects to the center of the mirror. The “faucet” doesn’t actually reach the ceiling.

Or it’s some form of black magic, wormholes, etc.

Number 3 is dumb and bad. It would look dirty within 30 seconds of cleaning it, the knobs make the counter unusable, the faucet is ridiculous, and I don’t want Shiva the Destroyer glaring at my junk while I pee.

Yep. I may have one or two examples where it looks kinda nice.... We’ll see

Aha... How much did the plumber on this house hate/love them, I wonder? Hopefully he was getting paid by the hour!

I agree with everything you said. Gun to your head, option 3 or the golden swans?

"JustAnotherG6" (bcabrington)

It disturbs me that the 3rd option (and by far the most over the top) is the only one setup so you don’t see the P trap.

Option 3 every day and twice on Sunday. I’m guessing that the rest of the Option 3 house is clean and modern with some slightly weird choices of furniture and fixtures, and I’m guessing that the swans house looks like Donald Trump’s apartment: Versailles as reimagined by a pornographer in 1981.

Basically. Other than that guest bathroom, the rest of the house is pretty restrained, at least by seattle new construction standards.

And spot on with the swan house. Although the garage is home to TWO 4 post lifts... Almost makes up for the rest.

I don’t want the choice to be too easy

Yes. The long flat tube thing coming down from the ceiling. Strange, huh?

I hate them all. I initially like the second one but the more I looked at it the more I thought it looked like a bed pan.
