Avoid the Watermark Designs faucets like the plague:
Wall mounted vanity faucet was loose. They shipped a replacement cartridge free of charge but took 4 weeks. Delta sent one for another bathroom and was received within a few days free of charge.
Mirror lacked instructions on how to put it up. When the mirror slipped, we tightened the 3mm set screws that press against the glass. The glass cracked. They said we tightened the screws too much. Well otherwise the glass slipped down. No torque spec. Additionally they blamed us for not installing the protective felt that did NOT come with the mirror. No mention of the felt in the instructions....in fact, no mention of the word "mirror" is in the instructions on how to put it up. They have since changed their instructions so why did they blame me? They finally supplied a replacement mirror but took 10 weeks (!!!) and countless phone calls.
They actually sent the mechanical engineering drawings with dimensions to me for the mirror holder. I was able to identify 13 *very* basic design flaws.
Hand shower tilts down by its own weight. They have a set screw to provide friction that presses against the threads of another screw. Horrible design likely to fail multiple times over the course of ownership.
Toilet paper holder has two pieces held together by a machine screw. Threads came stripped probably due to incorrect/short screw. Fortunately a large screw held it together.
Shower faucets have the cover plates attach by screwing a piece into an adapter that screws into yet another adapter that screws into the valve. Of course they all spin when you tighten them and you are supposed to set one of the inner adapters to within a millimeter of the outer trim. Horrible design.
Instructions for setting the depth of the shower faucet are extremely misleading (product lines and finishes using multiple codes and overlapping codes, poor part numbering scheme) to the contractors and do not follow GMP resulting in the wrong depth set by the contractor.
Finishes are beautiful but not all the pieces match.
Multiple phone calls to customer service promise return phone calls that never happen. Although if it weren't for one person, A.S., I would have returned everything. Thank you A.S.
No parts breakdown on any items so if you need something, you need to call them....and then wait 8-10 weeks as nothing is stocked.
I spent thousands of dollars expecting top of the line faucets. I feel like I got raped.

Spa-like master bath with step-in doorless shower featuring a recessed shampoo/soap niche, porcelain and glass tile. The shower valve is located at the shower entry so that the user does not get wet when turning on the water. Michelle Turner, UDCP

Custom Surface Solutions (www.css-tile.com) - Owner Craig Thompson (512) 430-1215. This project shows new 12 x 24 tile installed vertically with offset layout pattern on wall and floor. Includes shower box with linear glass accent tile back and vertical glass accent band. Tile edges are finished with Schluter Jolly satin aluminum profile edge trim.

The flooring in the great room is wide-plank wormy chestnut hardwood flooring. Reclaimed chiseled beams and timbers support the soaring ceiling of the great room.
One might think the rustic nature of the elements, like the heavy iron chandelier, would overshadow the elegance of the home. Instead, you find artwork and hand blown glass accents complimenting these details. A fine-quality Aubusson floral rug anchors the custom upholstery in the great room. Views of the woods and yard are complimented by luxurious drapes.
