Who knew Stainless Steel appliances were so much more expensive than chrome, black, or white? Check out our new kitchen faucet.
This sucker would have been way cheaper if we had gotten the model that was partially black AND stainless steel, aka UGLY! Seriously though, I spent so much time researching these faucets. Reviewers of other models I was considering were complaining about too much SPLASH from the faucet when it hit the bottom of the sink. I was thinking, "It's a
sink! With
water! It's going to
SPLASH." But, of course I got paranoid and went with the model above which is a Hansgrohe Allegro E Single Handle Pullout (model 06460860). My only concern was that the thing is too tall at 16.5" high at the top, but I think we'll get used to it and people seems to really like it on Amazon reviews.
Another design feature is that the handle only goes back to the vertical position, so you don't have to angle it towards the back wall to get hot water. Other models have the hot water setting when the handle is pointed toward the wall and some people say they hit their knuckles on the backsplash when it's designed like that. Plus, you have to reach a little further.
Enough of the faucet. Here's our kitchen! Isn't it wonderful?
The recessed lighting is already installed and working, and for those of you who remember, the window is already gone from the back wall. Hope to get the cabinets in by next week!

grrr... I found the same exact faucet at Costco yesterday for $75 cheaper than what we bought it for! (which was the cheapest price we could find online at the time). Good to note -- don't forget to check your local Costco for random kitchen stuff!
