That's so pretty! Rustic and orb is far and few between around here. We just finished (except for tweaking those final touches) my husband's bathroom in a rustic manly palette. ORB is certainly going to take more up keep than brushed nickel. For his sink, he has a Tapmaster and that helps tremendously with keeping the faucet clean. It's hands free water. No electricity or batteries or special faucets. It's all operated with a foot pedal and water pressure. The foot pedal is on the toekick. Here is the Delta Addison vanity faucet (Venetian Bronze). I used the Delta Linden In2ition tub spout and 2 in 1 shower and handheld. Verdict is still out on that. Water comes out all wonky and pressure isn't what it used to be. They're sending another tub diverter. Hope that's the answer.

I have a Delta Venetian Bronze kitchen faucet too. LOVE it. Tapmaster on that sink as well so grubby/nasty hands on the faucet isn't a problem.

Towel ring, tp holder and robe hook have a rope design. The vanity pulls are a little darker, almost black and have a Texas star as the pull. Finally found a stinkin' train rack that I could afford! Geez, those things are spendy :o And I think I even like it better than most of the more expensive ones. It's substantial and plain. I've got enough going on in that bath that I don't need it to be "fancy". We too did a porcelain wood plank. LOVE it! So far, no one has known it was tile :)

I'm sure you'd want something "prettier" in your lovely bathroom but I thought I'd show you the train rack. It's 23.6" wide.

Thanks, Monica! I like your towel rack! Simple and elegant. I had my eye on the RH Chelsea, but man are they pricey - you're right! I think we have hard water in our town so the more I'm reading the more inclined and I am, sadly, to give up my ORB dream due to it getting calcium sports from everyday use. I have polished chrome in my kitchen, and it really does clean/shine nicely even after three years so I guess it may have to be my runner up. I'd hate to spend a premium for ORB and have it wind up dingy looking.

That's too bad but I understand. Maybe you can find other options to bring in some rustic charm :)

Nothing like plugging your business huh Daniel. Guess you didn't read the TOS when you made your account.......

I've got a bathroom with ORB. And while I love the look, I HATE the upkeep. We used the bathroom full time when we the master was out of commission. We have hard water and it etched the finish. After the master was finished I actually had to replace some of the fixtures because they were ruined. I'll try to post some pictures.

Itltrot, how long did you have them, before they started to show wear and tear?

Bathroom was remodeled in 2008. We never used it until 2010 when the master shower failed. We used it full time at least twice a day until this May. We failed to wipe them off after showering. I'd say about 2 years in they started looking bad. I followed Deltas cleaning instructions and they mostly cleaned up. About a year later the clear coat started falling off and I waited until master bath was finished before contacting Delta. They did warranty the pieces. It's back to seldom used.
