In the comments of our recent post on the modern and affordable plumbing fixtures for the 100K House, I mentioned that we were looking at possible cost reductions. Recently,”the Money” has gotten involved in helping us spec out our final finishes list. She made an executive decision after a substantial amount of research to switch to the Delta Arzo line of bath fixtures for the 100K House.
Switching to the Delta Arzo should save us about $500 overall and also allow all of the bath fixtures, including the accessories (towel & TP holders) to match. This savings may also free us up to use the full Kohler Stillness line in the 120K House depending on how the budget shakes out. We are trying to leave upgrade options as open as possible right now for the 120K House to be determined at a later date…
Images can be seen below of the complete Delta Arzo line and if you want to see better than list pricing, Faucet-Warehouse is a pretty good place to check pricing.

Hey Chad,
You might take a look at the Ikea sinks for the bathroom – they have a great look and are TOTALLY affordable. I think the shallow/square sinks are great. I can’t seem to find the model online…but when I last visited the store, they had a great looking design for under $100.

Shawn – Thanks for the heads up. I think you’re talking about the Hollviken sinks – http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/60074446.
I thought about this, but these require a vanity to be mounted on. While ours are more expensive, it mounts directly to the wall and is done. Overall, this should be cheaper and give us a more upscale, modern look…
Yeah, good point. The no-vanity approach will save you some bucks, for sure.
