We are gradually updating and refreshing our 25 year old home and both of our grown kids have even older homes. All of us keep running into the same problem. We want to browse (in person!!) something a little nicer /more variety than Lowe’s/Home Depot for plumbing fixtures, lighting, hardware etc. There are some really high end places, but I’d love to find something with more of a range.

We are getting ready for a kitchen and bath remodel soon, and at the moment I’m looking for a lock set for our new front door. Something like Schlage is fine, but all the many stores around me have only the same 2 or 3 finishes in the store. Online I found a different Schlage finish that I’m interested in, but every photo of it is different. I’d love to see it in person.

Can anyone point me in a new direction? I’m on the east side, but willing to make a drive for something really interesting! Athens area would be great too.
