Matte black! So cool. Love it.

Not that they need to match, but what finishes are you using for cabinet hardware & light fixtures and what color/material is your sink?

Sorry! Forgot to mention the cabinet hardware is satin nickel, sink is soapstone. With my really low ceilings, there will only be pot lights.

I have the same questions as romy178. I just went through the selection of hardware, sink, and light fixture finishes. I actually mixed finishes as follows: stainless steel appliances, antique pewter cabinet hardware, antique pewter kitchen faucet, and antique brass light fixtures. Once I know what your other finishes are in hardware and light fixtures, I can better recommend a faucet finish.

I am matchy-matchy. I am not a good finish mixer. So, I would go with stainless to match the satin nickel and stainless ovens. I think the black faucet would be too dark with soapstone counters and sink. Second choice would be chrome.

I'd be hesitant about the black. If your soapstone is not oiled & is a soft grey, it may look harsh against the soapstone & white cabinets. Which Kohler faucet style? I have polished nickel hardware & some stainless appiances so mixing silver metals doesn't bother me.

Thanks for your input. I think you are right about the black with the soapstone. I don't know if I will keep the counters oiled or not, so black it will not be! I am leaning towards the Bellera, although the Cruette and Simplice are not out of the running. I keep thinking stainless is the right choice, but the Kohler stainless finish really isn't my favourite, ugh. Down to the last decisions, so I am second guessing myself constantly!!

Thanks Romy. I think I should go with what I like (chrome), and not what I think is the proper choice (stainless). What I think is interesting is that in the 2nd picture, the faucet is similar to the one I am doing, the house is in the city I live in, and the contractor is one that I interviewed!!! How did you know, LOL?

Chrome :)

I would choose chrome as well.

Thanks for the chrome votes. :) It's what I like, and I'm happy that I'm not the only one that would choose it. Why is it getting so much more difficult to make a decision these days??
