Faucet

As I mentioned in a recent post, I have been giving some thought to a wall mounted faucet.

(lizmarieblog.com)

I presume I would have about as much space behind the sink for faucets. And I suppose that would be fine. However, I am really interested in using a wall mounted faucet. I particularly like the idea of not having to squeeze behind it to clean.

This one has been raised but I doubt that would help much with the cleaning problem.

I seldom use the spray feature so I would prefer to skip it.

This is different. Not very appealing to me even in a bathroom.

Notice these are all double handle faucets.

This one is just OK looking.

This one better but I don't want the cross knobs.

I like this one for the design but it's back to deck mount.

Similar features here but again the cross handles. So much for what other people have. Let's see what is readily available.

These pot fillers are everywhere on the internet but that is not what I hoped for when I searched wall mounted faucets.

I thought I would find single handle faucets too. Trust me those are really few and far between.

So-so. A little too American looking for my Frenchy kitchen.

So far this one is the most interesting.

Although it's hard to beat this one for interesting. The light is blue for cold and red for hot. I'm not big on "extra-features" but...I'm trying to be open minded. What that means is that I haven't found anything that doesn't feel like settling.

Checked out VanDyke.com and found a few more possibilities.

I rather like the porcelain handles just to break up all that nickel.

But so far nothing that says, "that's the one!" Well, maybe there were one or two that I would be pretty content with having, but I'm not spending $1200 for a faucet.

I happened across this picture and just had to include it. Not because it is what I'm looking for in a faucet but that sink is crazy. Does that divider make any sense to you?

Today is the day we "break-ground" on this project. So the days of wishing and dreaming are over. Not it's time to get real.

On The Upswing

After the last post, it seemed a good idea to do a follow up post to report that things are moving along nicely. This shot was taken before the remodel started. The door at the end of the hallway leads into the bath now being remodeled. This is where the changes started. The trim is off the doorway and the door opening will be enlarged to the width of the hallway. This shot taken of that same area now looks like this. By closing the entrance from the hallway, that bathroom will now be the master bath by keeping the entrance from the bedroom only. This is how it looks from the bathroom side. the door on the left leads to the hallway and the one on the right into the bedroom. Now it looks like this. Part of the hallway has become part of the bathroom. This is where the vanity will be installed. The partial doorway you see on the right leads to the bedroom. Turning 180 degrees and looking across the room to the opposite corner, you see the window and the en

Out of No Where

Isn't it uncanny how a project can sneak into an already crowded schedule? Recently a friend invited me to do a walk through on a two-family he was planning to buy. A couple pieces of furniture had been left behind and they were dumpster material to him. Did I go with him thinking there was something there for me? NO. Was I looking for something in particular? NO. Did the thought of finding a new project ever cross my mind? NO! But, see for yourself. Could you have passed this up? It was sturdy (translates to a little heavy). There was nothing wrong with it. It even had all the shelves and the pins that hold them in place. And without the shelves it was not quite as heavy. (Try telling me that as my friend and I are hauling it down a flight of stairs.) More shelving on the side made it even more practical. I'm sure they could be used for something besides VHS tapes. Here it is in my studio where I could do a complete assessment. Looks like a good cleaning

Small Storage Containers RECYCLED

With the way grocery products have skyrocketed this past year, it has somehow made the containers they come in seem more valuable. To be transparent, I have always saved glass jars from jam, pickles, and spaghetti sauce.=) You know, small, medium and large. I also saved yogurt cups, sour cream containers, etc. When I was painting furniture and mixing colors, the small containers came in handy. This past summer I got a good laugh when I found a stack of yogurt containers in the back of a cabinet in my studio...at least 60! Needless to say those made it into the trash. More recently I have collected a fair amount of plastic containers with lids that are similar to the food saving containers you buy for that purpose. These are fairly large, about 5x7 inches and approximately 3" deep. They are great for leftovers but also good for storing a multitude of other smallish items. The bottoms are see through which makes them perfect for organizing hobby/craft and workshop items. But once a
