Lever Handles & Door Hardware
Joseph Giles Collett Round Brass/Glass Lever
Artisan-quality lever handle with a beautifully tactile glass element. One-hand operation, arthritis-friendly geometry. Made in England to exacting tolerances. The specification piece for a high-end renovation.
Joseph Giles Ashworth II Knurled Lever
Knurled texture provides exceptional grip even with wet or arthritic hands. Solid brass construction, available in a range of hand-applied finishes. Pairs beautifully with the Collett throughout a home.
Groel Espuch Lever Set

The accessible-price lever that still looks intentional. Reversible for any door configuration, non-locking passage function for interior doors. A smart choice for secondary rooms or rental properties.
Keyless Entry

Palm recognition — no keys, no codes, no fumbling. Works in all lighting conditions including total darkness. A genuinely transformative piece of hardware for anyone with limited hand dexterity or who carries mobility aids. Clean, modern form factor.
Touchless Bathroom Faucets
Kohler Composed Touchless Faucet
Kinesis sensor technology, understated minimalist style, 0.5 GPM, temperature mixing. AC-powered for reliability — no batteries to replace. Rachel’s top pick for a seamless high-end specification.
Fontana Oropesa Chrome Touchless Faucet
Classic chrome elegance with precision infrared sensor activation. A well-proportioned faucet that reads as luxury without shouting. Good value in the touchless chrome category.
Fontana Luxurious Chrome Touchless + Soap Dispenser
Integrated touchless soap dispenser eliminates a cluttered countertop and makes handwashing a single seamless gesture. The pair together is an elegant system specification.
Fontana Axiom SmartFlow — Antique Brass
Warm antique brass finish with smart flow control. A beautiful choice for traditionally styled baths or powder rooms where chrome would feel cold. Pairs with the Fontana Avola soap dispenser below.
Fontana Antique Edition Commercial Sensor Faucet
Vintage charm meets modern sensor technology. Suited to eclectic, traditional, or maximalist interiors where a sleek chrome faucet would feel out of place.
Fontana MunichElite Series — Antique Brass
Elite-tier touchless performance in antique brass. A refined specification piece for high-end traditional or transitional bathrooms where every detail is considered.
Fontana Aguilafuente Automatic Sensor — Chrome
Sleek chrome with precise infrared activation. A clean, architectural profile suited to contemporary or minimalist bathrooms. Reliable sensor response with a refined finish.
Fontana Avola Chrome Soap Dispenser
Deck-mounted, sensor-activated. Pairs with chrome Fontana faucets to create a cohesive, seamless handwashing system at the sink.
Fontana Sleek Foam Soap Dispenser
Touchless foam dispensing — foam uses less soap per wash, which makes this practical as well as hygienic. Pairs with any of the Fontana faucet options above.
Pull-Out Spray Faucets
When You Need a Hand Sprayer at the Sink
Not every bathroom faucet needs to be touchless. This pick earns its place for a different reason: a built-in pull-out sprayer that makes washing a dog, rinsing a child’s hair, or cleaning the basin much easier. The pull-out spray extends the reach and utility of a standard bathroom sink without requiring a renovation.
Hansgrohe Finoris Single-Hole Faucet 230 with 2-Spray Pull-Out
Not a touchless faucet — included here for a different reason entirely. The built-in pull-out handspray (stream and rinse modes) turns a standard bathroom sink into a utility station: bathe a small dog, rinse a grandchild’s hair, or clean the basin with precision. Water-efficient at 1.2 GPM with hard water-resistant, easy-clean surfaces. A practical pick for households that want one sink to do more.
Wet-Room Flooring & Zero-Threshold Systems
Daltile Haddonstone — Wet Zone Tile
High-traction tile with a natural stone aesthetic. Appropriate slip coefficient for wet environments without sacrificing the luxury look. Rachel’s go-to for spa-style shower floors and bathroom surrounds.
Arizona Tile Fluida — Wet Zone Tile
A beautifully textured surface tile that works for wet room floors and walls. Available in formats and finishes that read as intentional design rather than safety compromise.
Schluter Kerdi-Line Linear Drain
Enables wall-to-wall wet room design with integrated waterproofing. The linear drain eliminates the traditional center-sloped floor and the threshold tripping hazard entirely. Essential for a proper roll-in shower specification.
Wedi Fundo Primo Shower Base
Integrated slope and waterproofing in one system. Ready for tile, eliminates the threshold tripping hazard completely. Rachel’s preferred substrate system for zero-threshold wet room renovations.
Water Safety & Leak Detection
Flo by Moen Smart Water Monitor & Shutoff
24/7 plumbing monitoring with daily Health Tests and automatic shut-off if a leak or burst pipe is detected. The single most important water protection you can install — especially important for anyone who spends time away from home or who has cognitive changes that might delay noticing a leak.
Govee Water Leak Detectors (5-Pack)
App-connected sensors for under sinks, behind toilets, near appliances. Alerts your phone instantly when water is detected. An inexpensive, immediate layer of protection — Rachel recommends these everywhere water is present.
