What are your preferences for knob/hinge/fixture color - and what about knob shape - egg, round, level etc. Leave a comment and/or vote, I'd like to hear your opinions.

Finish Colors
Chrome is always the cheapest finish of course (for faucets) and we learned today that everything else is about 40% more. Luckily our builder sent us in with a budget for "oil-rubbed bronze" which is supposedly "in" right now, but doesn't neccessarily fit with the overall more-contemporary look we are going for. Plus it doesn't mix and match very well with chrome, plus there is the doorknob and hinge colors to consider... We settled for now on a pewter color in the master bath which seems to be able to go traditional or modern and could complement nickel or chrome fixtures/knobs elsewhere if we go that route.

from the pics. it sure looks like you guys are moving right along...or maybe not and it just seems that way from my point of view-in any case, it looks great:)
Lucky! We have ghastly shiny gold toned vomit for our handles, but are way too cheap to plunk down the cash to change all of them. Someday, when I attempt this type of project, I will dream of various colors, shapes, and relish in looking at them every time I open a door.
funny, i like all of them. and if you come in my house you will see that we have the bronze in one bathroom and the pewter in another. i love them both! although the oil-rubbed bronze can come of if you accidentally scratch it. also the more you spend the better the quality. i have one of each. i have a delta and LOVE it! i think it's worth the money. it just seems to work better.
oh, and i like the levers best. they seem easier to open and look nice too!
