Both faucets you posted are double handled, Did you post what you intended?

I had a single handle faucet in the master bathroom for close to 20 years. When it came time to update about 4 years ago I decided to install a double handle because I liked the looks a better. It took a while to get accustomed to the double handles after using a single handle for all those years. While I still think the dual handles look better, for the way I use the faucet I found the single handle to be more convenient. Although it is not a big deal one way of the other.

I hadn't thought about it before now but when I build my retirement next year I'll probably see if I can find a single handle I like for the master and go with a double in the main bath. If I were more concerned about it being elegant looking than functional I would go with a double handle though.

I am in the process of looking for faucets. I see more 2 handled that I like but single handle just works more efficiently for us. I think it would be too hard for DH to adapt. There are enough single handled ones that I have quite a few on my short list.

After having hideous cheap single handle faucets, I opted for a wide-spread in my guest bath. I got it out of my system. Next time I'd look for a nice single-handle faucet with two less objects to clean around on the counter. Mostly I use the sink for handwashing after using the WC, so I just turn on the hot side.

I do love the widespread 2-handles you've pictured above. But, I'm with Linelle, tired of cleaning around the 2 handle in our 2nd bath. Have chosen a somewhat contemporary single for our reno.

Thanks guys! Very big help! After reading your comments, I that I will look for a single handled faucet and see if I can find one I like. I do like that one you posted above torreykm.

localeater-thanks! I meant to post one faucet pic, but for some reason my new iPad and houzz combo are not letting me edit to delete one. I think I have a defective iPad. Luckily, Apple is replacing it.

I vote for a one-piece faucet. You can operate it with one hand, and it's easier to clean around.

Second choice: A wide-spread set. Requires two hands but is still easier to clean around.

Thanks mrspete! I have this one in my current master bath. Maybe I will just buy the same ones.

Is that all going to be glass? Fantastic! (I was going to suggest a wall-mount faucet with a +/- 1' backsplash so you wouldn't have to wipe water off the windows -- but not if it is going to mess up your aesthetic.)

Yes! I am hoping it will all be glass....but do you think I should add a backsplash?

I used this collection from Zucchetti in my son's bathroom.

I used this one from waterDecor in my master, in chrome. Love this one.

I used a single hole, double-handle in the powder room I just did:

I love the Vola faucets for wall mounts. I agree with everyone, single handled faucets are great functionally. I have them in all my bathrooms. I have Dornbracht faucets in two bathroom and a Hansgrohe in another. I like them all. I also had a Kohler single handled faucet called the Fairfax or something like that. The handle was really cheap plastic and I always felt like it would not hold up. It was in the house when I bought it and it lasted for another three years so although it felt light weight, it performed okay. I have lusted after the Goccia from Gessi!

Good luck!

when I change mine out, it'll be to single handles - easier on my hands and less to clean. so that part is a bonus. my arthritic fingers/hands are a priority in things like handles and knobs. all door knobs are changed to levers.

If it were our bath we'd definitely want a splash -- DH gets water (toothpaste? shaving cream?) spots everywhere and seems I'm constantly wiping his mirror. I'm sure you are much tidier! Plus then you could do the wall-mount, we have those in a couple of bathrooms and I kind of wish we had done them in the master.

For whatever reason I had a hard time finding pictures. So just squint and pretend that some of these mirrors actually are windows ;-)

Thank you guys! Chipsa - those are beautiful faucets. They will go on the list!

@homepro1 The Vola faucets look very modern! I love them! Some of those look just like what I am looking for. The Goccia is very nice!!!

Oaktown- Thank you for the pics!!! Those are a big help! Especially the one with the cabled mirrors. I want to do something similar, but I was hoping to just do one cable - top and bottom.

I am wondering now if I should do a backsplash with a wall mounted faucet now?

This bathroom is similar to the look I am going for. The id is suggesting thassos tile in shower, floor, and walnut cabinets. The shower will only have a small window up high for privacy. There will be a succulent/cactus garden with a high wall behind it out the glass. We are hoping to position the wall for privacy from the house behind.
