So far, my only complaint about the Kingston Brass faucet I bought (and talked about here, though I ended up getting this one actually) is that it took a while to get here. Like, maybe two whole months?
When it did finally arrive though (I guess it was temporarily back-ordered), I was happily surprised with how heavy the thing was! And the polished brass was not so ‘bad 80s brass’ as I thought it might be. I was wondering if I would need to strip the lacquer off or sort of buff off some of the shine, but I think it looks pretty good as is. And I actually like it with my boring stainless steel sink. The mix of metals there sort of mimics the mix on the range.
As far as functionality goes, it ran a little slow for about a week after we installed it. The pressure was weak and it drove me completely nuts. I was worried the low pressure was because of the high bridge. But it ended up being a mistake on my part (I put the filter in the wrong way) and now that it’s fixed, this faucet easily has more water pressure than the shower in our last apartment! I could probably put out a fire in our backyard with the sprayer. :)
So, I’m curious. Since this redo was done on the cheap, I’ve been sort of dreaming of what I would have done if we owned the house and budget was no issue (the answer begins with reconfiguring the whole lay out of the parlor floor…). If you’ve redone your kitchen, where did you splurge and where did you save? What kitchen element is most important to you? Appliances? Countertops? Cabinets?
What's up, of course this paragraph is actually pleasant and I have learned lot of things from it about blogging. thanks.

Looking great!
I love your kitchen! I've been contemplating painting my cabinets and your blog has inspired me! I had a couple of questions about the paint you used.
Did you use an oil based paint for your cabinets? I dont think F&B carries oil based paint anymore. I live in California and can't buy oil based paint. What is the next best alternative for painting cabinets?
Did you also do an oil based primer? Any help would be much appreciated! Love your blog!!
What color paint did you use on your kitchen cabinets? They are AMAZING!

We are re-doing our kitchen as I write this. I splurged on a newport brass faucet in brushed brass to match my hardware line (that I design myself)…. and then I cut corners on the floor. Painting the sub floor and going to do a stencil. Crossing my fingers that it turns out nice!
I do the exact same thing, walking in the neighborhood at night. I was so shocked when I caught a glimpse of your new chandelier recently on a quick run to the produce stand. Creepy, I know! I had been waiting anxiously to see it on the site- and couldn't believe I found it myself, just a block down!
Oh I have the same faucet in polished nickel! Don't you just LOVE it? It reminds me of a 1920s faucet. Here is a photo of mine: http://stephaniehallburns.blogspot.com/2012/03/faucet-love.html
Found you through CG and love your blog!
It is indeed a wonderful http://www.faucetsmarket.com/bathroom-accessory-bathroom-mirrors-c-4_5.html for you to consider as your daily usage. You will love to enjoy the Kitchen faucet from then on. It will bring you an all new feeling. As can see that Antique brass faucet flow decentralizes or sprayed, just spin the button on the head.
