Next project-replacing kitchen faucet

Suasoria · Chanel

Mine is this basic one from Chicago Faucets - it met my requirements and had a pot filler to match. My thing was that it had to be old-school looking, have a really tall spout, and I had to be able to turn it on and off with my elbow if my hands are a mess.

If you have more of a country/provincial style or more contemporary kitchen, then this one won't do it for ya. I'd definitely get something in a finish that matches all the hardware. Brushed steel or nickel might match the sink nicely, for example. What do the cabinet knobs look like?

I like the one you posted but you are probably right about matching the hardware and style of my kitchen. The best way to describe my "house-style" is Pottery Barn Kids. Bright, colorful, simple. I have maple cabinets with brushed nickel knobs and my kitchen is decorated with bright beachy colored accents.

Oh right! Duh. Yeah, I loved all the bright colors in the dining room.

This might be crazy, but I've seen some faucets with blue accents like this one above. Seems like something along these lines would be "you."

I personally like silvertone faucets with high spouts and double handles. I would probably pick something like this.

For a more "fun" house, maybe something like this?
