Julie Williams Design Chrome is easy to care for and was very popular in the past. Satin nickel hides finger marks and has become a very popular finish. Polished nickel is warmer, color wise, than chrome but does require more maintenance than some of the other finishes. Oil Rubbed Bronze hides finger marks but can wear off if it is a living finish.
Anne DeCocco Here's my Ideabook on identifying granite: http://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/query/identifying-granite It's not exhaustive by any means. Use the Houzz search box to find more and visit a granite slab yard to be dazzled by the differences in each one!
Thank you
