When we did the bathroom renovation a couple of years ago we bought a lot of the trappings at Menard's before it moved to its new location so we got some great deals on a new sink, faucet and shower head. This has worked out pretty well except for the sink faucet that recently sprung a leak. Apparently if you only spend $20 on sink faucet you can't expect it to last very long and it will actually crack along the neck of the faucet for no reason other than our hard water...which has posed many problems but never a cracked faucet. So about a month ago we bought a new, much more expensive faucet made by Delta (supposedly the best). Art finally got around to installing it yesterday and I'm not sure that I like it, but it's installed so that's that. It's just darker than I had anticipated so I feel there is too stark a contrast between the bright white of the sink and the dark of the faucet but Art said he liked it because there is so much more room to wash his hands since the faucet neck sticks out farther than the old one. While Art loves this feature, I do not; it's more difficult to wash my face now without hitting my forehead on the faucet.

I'm hoping that it will grow on me (and for the price we paid it will)!
