New Kitchen Faucet + GIVEAWAY to National Builder Supply!

faucet1

When we embarked on the low-budget, high-drama overhaul of our kitchen this past summer, the one major drag about the completed project was that we didn’t replace the kitchen faucet.

Below is a beautiful, high-quality image I captured during the great sink excavation of 2013, when I removed at least 4 million pounds of caulk from around the huge double-drainboard sink and walls. Behold:

beforebefore

The faucet was probably as old as the rest of the kitchen and equally dysfunctional. Both knobs leaked when they were turned on. The hot side was especially bad, but given that we only just got hot water on this floor of the house with the installation of the new boiler, we were OK just using the cold side and dealing with the less severe leak whenever we used the kitchen sink. Fancy! But it did technically work, and clearly there were bigger fish to fry. I mean, look at that picture. The faucet is not really the problem.

before

See that? Literally everything else in the room changed somehow, but there’s that little faucet, hanging out, still being crappy.

We pledged to deal with the faucet at some point, but a new one wasn’t totally essential to creating a functioning kitchen, and we didn’t want to compromise and spend money (even cheap faucets are still pretty expensive!) on something that we didn’t love or wouldn’t last. Essentially, we wanted a faucet in this kitchen that will remain worthy when we hopefully take on the next kitchen renovation—The Pipe Dream Kitchen that We’ll Maybe Possibly Have a Decade From Now That Won’t Have Huge Soffits and Lousy Cabinets and a Weird Layout.

I’m aware that vintage-ish faucets can often be repaired with some new parts, but honestly it just never seemed worth it. The ideal faucet would sit a good deal higher than this one (allowing us to fill larger pots or do the dishes more easily), would be more efficient (newer faucets have filters to help mitigate excessive water use), and have a spray/hose function for Linus’s showering needs. Even without the leak-factor, this old faucet fulfilled none of those goals.

Hello, you beautiful stainless steel thang. You have changed my cooking experience and my whole world. I love you.

Even though we did something similar at the apartment not too long ago, I seemed to have forgotten what a HUGE difference replacing a faucet makes. Especially with shallower sinks (and no dishwasher), bringing the faucet head up several inches makes a massive difference in functionality—it’s almost like replacing both the sink and the faucet. It’s magic.

After lots of hemming and hawing over aesthetics and dimensions and reviews, we chose the Grohe Minta Deck Mount Faucet in SuperSteel finish and the coordinating soap dispenser from one of my terrific sponsors, National Builder Supply! Unfortunately both were on backorder from Grohe when we ordered, but we weren’t in a huge rush and National Builder Supply was responsible about sending periodic updates about when we could expect delivery. They came a couple of months ago, and then all we had to do was install them!

soapdispenser

Under normal circumstances, installing a new faucet should be very simple and easy for anyone to take on. We did it in the apartment with fairly minimal effort, but our old sink combined with our old plumbing made everything a little harder. The hole for the soap dispenser was too small, so it needed to be enlarged by the plumber (which basically involved a series of tiny pilot holes and some very careful maneuvering with a jigsaw”¦not something I ever want to see/do again!), but we eventually got it to fit. Having the dish soap concealed under the sink and available from this little pump feels very luxe, and the pump itself is really substantial and well made.

On top of that, and more importantly, our old copper hot and cold supply lines didn’t have shut-off valves! Shut-off valves on faucet supply lines are mandatory to meet code for new plumbing, but I guess that wasn’t the case when this plumbing was installed. The water for the entire house had to be turned off before the plumber could disconnect the old faucet, and then it was a matter of soldering on new shut-off valves under the sink and running new supply lines upwards from those to attach to the faucet. Old houses just have a way of complicating even the simplest tasks!

BUT NOW IT’S DONE AND LOOK AT HER GO. I’m so happy with it. I was a little bit worried that the super modern design would look out of place and weird in our kitchen (and with our sink), but I think it actually works really nicely. More importantly, the quality of the materials and the spray feature are so nice. It makes cleaning everything (dishes, the sink, veggies, dogs) super easy. I do like the IKEA faucet that we used in our apartment (and still think it’s a pretty good deal for the price point—especially considering what else is out there) but we have had a few minor problems with it due to the lower quality materials, unfortunately. This Grohe faucet really does seem significantly nicer, in all honesty, which I wasn’t really expecting—almost all of the components are metal, the plastic pieces in the spray nozzle are more substantial and seem far less prone to breaking/defects, and all of the metal components are thicker and heavier. I suppose we haven’t been using it long enough to attest to the long-term durability, but so far, so good! I’m so glad we have this small thing checked off the list, and I expect this faucet to last us a loooongggg, long time.

Because our sink had three holes and this faucet only requires one, we did have to install this cheap deck plate to cover the extra holes (I’ve never been able to find one at a hardware store, but there are lots of options online). It really doesn’t make anything more complicated with the install and I think it looks just as good.

So! Maybe you also need a new faucet or something to finish up or jump-start that renovation project? Maybe you could use a break on the price of whatever that something is?

    Now that we’re nearing our kitchen renovations coming to completion, I have my eyes set on our bathroom(s), in particular the master bath which has some very questionable fixtures, including an old bathtub that was PAINTED by the previous owner to (what seems to be) hide its horrific state. Anyway, I actually have a question about that lovely cart by the stove – where is it from? I think its dimensions would be PERFECT for a tiny nook in our kitchen! Thanks!!

      It’s from IKEA, but a long time ago! I think this particular one is discontinued, but they still carry a few nice options that might be similar.

    Geez, what wouldn’t I buy? We just bought a 50s ranch, that someone “upgraded” with builder-grade everything. Poorly, I might add. I think I’d start by changing out our black-speckled, not-granite sink (which doesn’t quite match our black-speckled, not-granite counter).

    And I’d put the $100 toward redoing our decrepit bathroom, starting with sink and faucet. I followed their “Installation, Repairs and Tips” Pinterest board because god knows there’s something always breaking our about to break…

    We just bought a 1955 fixer and have a kitchen and a full bath to upgrade! Starting with a new bathroom vanity – our faucet is cheap, old, leaks, and discolored. That would be the first to go! Loving their centerset options.

    Alicia said:

    Ooh I desperately want a new ceiling light/exhaust fan for the bathroom, I think ours is definitely original to the 50’s and it is horrifyingly ugly and discolored. I’d pick the Broan Nutone 665RP to be specific!

    We are renovating our kitchen right now, so what DON’T we need?! I would probably follow your lead and pick out a killer faucet. So many great options!

    Hmmm… new undercabinet lighting for our kitchen. We have some IKEA stuff, but it’s always breaking (you have to tap the glass to get the bulbs to light up- WTH????).

    Oh Daniel. (Happy sigh.) I do appreciate all the photos we get with your posts: the ‘how it was’ photo, the context photo, the sexy, close-detail pics and action shots we get of your fantastic household fittings. Excellllent. :D

    Daniel, your renovation posts keep my spirit up! I’m currently working in renovating my bathroom. We’re keeping the original tup from the 40s but toilet and sink have got to go! I am eyeing the Duravit Happy D collection. The wall hung toilet and console sink are calling my name!

  16. 2.11.14

    Sometimes during renovations, it’s the little things like new faucets that can change everything! I just updated my shower head in my bathroom and it feel like a whole new space! I’m eyeing my kitchen to tear apart next and can definatly see the Moen S713 jazzing up the space! Love your blog btw :)

    Hm. We’re hopefully ripping out our kitchen relatively soon and the one thing we haven’t been able to agree on is a faucet but I think the faucet you chose would be the perfect compromise and is probably what we would want to snag! The giveaway would definitely bump it down into our price range, too.

    If I won the $100, I’d put it towards a new shower head. I like the one I have now, but it leaks. The plastic is starting to break, but I haven’t been inclined to replace it yet. Although, looking through National Builder’s site, I would really enjoy the Brizo Tresa Shower Faucet. The difference in cost after the prize money would be less than half the cost. Very affordable for a gorgeous shower head.

  38. 2.11.14
    Eleanor said:

    Definitely a new shower head. Anything would be better than what we have but they had tons of good options!

    New faucets would be amazing in my house too, especially in the bathroom and the kitchen. My house is from the 1940’s with a gorgeous, original, and leaky pedestal sink in my only bathroom. There are separate handles for hot and cold which reminds me of twee B&B’s in England. I always thought I would want an integrated faucet like the Moen 6400. It would be more functional, but wouldn’t match the sink or the house. So I think I would go with the Moen T4570 or splurge on the Moen TS42114.

    My tiny builder grade galley kitchen has been the bane of my existance for the past year. I’m going to tear it apart this spring, and a new sink would definitely help. Lots of options to mull over, the planning/fantasizing makes it a bit more bearable day to day. Thnaks for the chance.

    Daniel, GROHE is a very good make: ‘Made in Germany’ – and standard issue here, although a bit more basic than your deluxe looking model. I really like the square shape, it goes really well with your kitchen. Good choice!

    And your plumber is obviously a reliable chappy! Good to have a decent tradesman on your side.

    my husband and i recently purchased and have been renovating our 1925 tudor. we would love to remodel our bathroom and this would greatly cover the cost a new sink (i mean i do LOVE the 1980s shell sink) or go towards a new tub (soaking in 5 inches of water is VERY relaxing). we could really use the update since we have 7 month old b/g twins and our bathroom really isn’t cutting it.

    I think a few people already talked about the Hansgrohe Raindance showerheads but seriously, these transform a shower into a spa like experience. It’s one of those upgrades no one really notices but the person who uses it–but it makes all the difference to that person. And like you I have a rental so that’s something that can easily be changed back when I’m ready to move.

    I just bought a new faucet for my kitchen, and I really need to add a new sink too. Thank you for the fabulous giveaway!

    Ooh. I was inspired by your faucet upgrade. Our bathroom needs help. I’d pick the Hansgrohe Focus Centerset Bathroom Faucet. It looks easy to clean and far less ugly than most faucets of that style.

    Wow, the after is amazing! Crazy to think that is what it looked like before. I like the American Standard Princeton Centerset Bathroom Faucet. It would go well with the clawfoot tub in our kids bathroom. The sink hasn’t worked in there for almost a year because the faucet clogged when we had to turn the water off and on for another project, and it just has been too far down the repairs list to get to so far!

    The Toto Aquia Elongated 2 Piece Toilet! We renovated our master bath a few years ago and this type of toilet was the toilet of my dreams. It has the full skirt around it; so you don’t have to deal with cleaning all the little nooks and crannies found on a standard toilet. Unfortunately, it was on 12 week back order and we couldn’t wait; so we had to go with a regular looking one.

    I would purchase the Moen Iso Vanity Light DN0764CH in Chrome. I love it. It needs to come live in my (currently ugly) bathroom.

    If I’m dreaming I would get

    Our shower head is sort of broken, but it still works (just not so well) so we haven’t gotten around to replacing it yet. I did however turn a painting project into “let’s also install a recessed 24″ medicine cabinet and get a new light fixture.” Maybe the shower is next?

    Wow, that faucet is ah-mazing. Such great lines.

    I would definitely do the same with the giveaway money. Our kitchen faucet is similarly small and low to the sink, and I’ve been wanting to upgrade it for months now. I’d go for one of the single hole Grohe or Moen faucets at a slightly lower price point than the one you picked.

    After months of slowly changing our kitchen in a phase 1 project (phase 2 will be years away and will be my dream kitchen) our alternating brown & white cabinets are now painted, the pink ceiling is painted, a banquette has been added, the one thing left is that I cannot get a decent sized pot under the faucet. Therefore I have to say I would love one of those high-neck, pre-rinse faucets. Filling up small bowls to pour into the normal sized big pot on the stove is annoying and makes me want to accidentally break the cheap, rusted thing. I would ask for a new deep one bowl sink, but my “lovely” pink and gray granite has to stay for now since it isn’t in our budget.

  108. 2.11.14
    Taylor said:

    Our kitchen faucet also needs to be replaced, actually. It is truly an abomination. The cold water side works fine, but the hot water is a hot mess. It squeals and moans, and the pressure of the water somehow causes the handle to turn randomly. No matter how much pressure you start out with, it will inevitably end up turning off on it’s own or blasting out a freaking jet stream. Not ideal.

    Oh my…. I’m doing a full Victorian remodel also and I need literally everything (except a roof).

    A kitchen faucet or bathroom faucet seems like a good way to spend “free” money (aka giftcard from builder supply) since it’s exactly like you said. It’s the small details that we don’t want to worry about right away since we need to save our money on bigger ticket items – like hot water & walls.

    Thanks for hosting this lovely giveaway.

    Gillianne said:

    Faucet, absolutely. We kept the bones of the kitchen we inherited, swapping a shallow double-bowl sink for a deep single sink (more counter space!) and installing new counters (local slate tiles). New basic faucet, too. Its chief charms: it was cheap and it worked. Then we moved on to other rooms, as one does. But I wanted a high arched faucet, for all the reasons of style and function you note. And I still really really do.

    Oh man, this could not be more timely. We just bought our house in north Denver- an awesome 1950s ranch- that was previously owned by a “handyman” and became a sort of burial ground for wayward, sloppy projects. Sound familiar? Much like you and Max, We’re dedicated to doing things right as we go, and we’ve set our sights on a small bathroom renovation/update next since that whole space is nowhere efficient as it needs to be and the sink sends me into a fit of rage blindness- Seriously, I have bought 3 different soap dispensers and none of them are small enough to stay on the sink ledges without falling off into the sink. ANYWAY… I also checked out NBS on Pinterest and followed the bathroom board, the kitchen board (next project) AND the subway tile board, because… duh. Thanks Daniel and NBS!!

    Hmmmm. So many useful things. I had never heard of an “air bath” until I looked at that website amazingly enough.

    Realistically I would probably buy something like a faucet for my down-the-road kitchen reno, but my instant attraction button was pushed by a ceiling fan:

    http://www.nationalbuildersupply.com/casablanca-panama-ceiling-fan-6611z-snow-white/p204724

    Probably in really bad taste, as most of my instant attraction items are hehe. We are planning on taking down the wall between our kitchen and dining room and we are NOT planning on getting air conditioning (i know, I know) so I am looking for some unobtrusive, yet still interesting fans to go down the length of the room. Definitely something to come back to in a couple of months to see if I still like it, or was taken by temporry insanity. :)

    Hi there,

    Our modest 50’s cottage has two bathrooms, each with small footprints, each in desperate need of a redo. After living here for four years, I know exactly what I want: a light, airy design that respects the age of the home while incorporating modern touches. It won’t all be period-correct, as I am more interested in spaces that absolutely reflect what we love. National Builder Supply has a few wall-mount faucets that fit my vision for these spaces, and this giveaway would certainly help with costs for the renovation, which is slated for this time next year. Thanks for the opportunity.

    Cheers,
    Christine

    I have the same problem as you did in my new old house. Leaky, low kitchen faucet over a 5 inch deep sink. I can hardly fit a water glass under the faucet! I have dreams of the perfect deck-mount bridge faucet, and I just found it in the Axor 16818001. Unfortunately, $670 is probably more than double what I’d like to spend. But maybe with $100 off I could convince my partner it’d be worth it…

    Our kitchen sink faucet is leaking SO BADLY right now, and the landlord is never going to replace it, so I’m about to just suck it up and DIY. Winning one would be fantastic though!

    First, that faucet is poetry.
    Second, we’re looking for a new house (well, fingers crossed we get the one we have an offer out on now) and my entire life has been consumed by pinning and daydreaming and planning. This giveaway is getting me even more excited, if possible. I could definitely use some good mojo and even better renovation supplies.
    The house we’re looking at now is in desperate need of new lighting fixtures (and new ceilings..why, popcorn, why?), so I went straight to the pendant section on nationalbuildersupply.com. How does a person even choose? So many options..so shiny.

    Oh, man. We could really use a new potty as our one and only throne was put in place in the early 90s and is soooooo not water efficient. A very tight budget bathroom renovation took place 5 years ago but we had to keep the beast. The Toto Promenade Round 2 Piece Toilet CST423SFG#01 would be purrrrrfect.

    We just bought a house with the world’s darkest living room. The ceilings are super high, and for reasons I cannot understand, the previous owners bought a ceiling fan with a very dark, thick shade that directs light UPWARD AT THE CEILING instead of down where actual people sit. So I would be all over a new ceiling fan (probably one of the more modern Casablanca models).

    We’re about to tackle a modest remodel of our kitchen – our first attempt at remodeling anything in our house from the twenties! Recently it became clear the kitchen was our priority when a piece of the kitchen counter broke off and fell on my (bare) foot while I was prepping food for a potluck. Thankfully my foot is ok, but the counter isn’t! With a new counter and new sink, I’d love to get a new faucet. I have the same faucet dreams that you did – I’d like it to be tall with an arched neck for easy pot-filling, and have a side spray feature to make rinsing out the sink a quick job. I have my eye on this American Standard faucet which I think would do the trick! http://www.nationalbuildersupply.com/american-standard-colony-centerset-kitchen-faucet-4275.551.f15.002-polished-chrome/p222605

    and i followed on pinterest!

  236. 2.11.14

    Such a cool giveaway, Daniel! I’m incredibly boring and I would actually get the *exact* same thing you guys got, because I’ve got Serious Decision Overwhelm and I need other people to just commit to something for me. And you posted this picture and it’s lovely and gorgeous and now I’m probably going to buy it even if I don’t win. But that’s what I’d want! Soap dispenser and all! :)

  237. 2.11.14

    And oh my god, they have a REALLY GREAT Pinterest presence! I followed TONS of boards, but I suspect the boring Faucets one will be the one that really pays off. Thanks!

    Allison said:

    Oh my gosh, its such a toss-up between a new light fixture for the kitchen nook, like this one. Or a new shower head/set for the eventual bathroom remodel! I’d like something like this, for a clawfoot tub.

    Jessica said:

    We just got permission from our landlord to put in a new kitchen faucet – so we’re looking for a one hole faucet and I checked out the Moen 7825 over at National Builder Supply, but then I was reading the comments and someone said something about a ceiling fan (which is the next thing we’re going to ask permission from our landlord to put in) but I can’t decide which one I like (too many options).

    I never win these things so I hope whoever does ends up with something awesome!

  246. 2.11.14
    Brianne M said:

    A new faucet – no doubt. We have a super deep sink and a very tall faucet (#firstworldproblems), and that leads to some unpleasant splashing of food/germs/grossness all over the place. Thanks Daniel!

  247. 2.11.14
    Erin said:

    I’d consider the Hansgrohe Raindance Showerhead; might as well have a nice shower head if we can’t get a new tub and tile. We’re also using existing kitchen cabinets (with a coat of paint and new hardware), so the Moen 7175 kitchen faucet might help make the kitchen look new again.

    fingers crossed!

    Hi Daniel! I would get the Delta Trinsic Deck Mount Kitchen Faucet 9159T-CZ-DST in Champagne Bronze. I am undertaking the very exciting and nerve-wracking process of renovating an old kitchen in a gorgeous Victorian. The kitchen has no cabinets, so it’s going to be a real adventure. The faucet’s bronze color is going to perfectly complement the other touches of bronze and rose gold throughout the kitchen. I’m following their board on kitchen faucets, sinks, etc.

    SHOWERHEAD. We recently bought a sweet little bungalow from 1920, complete with an adorable clawfoot tub. Is it beautiful. YES. Is it practical to shower in? Oh, hell no. We have some sort of pipe contraption that is attached to the ceiling (for support) and the tub itself (for the water), and it has the dinkiest little shower head attached to it. It basically just drips water out. It did improve significantly when we upgraded our hot water heater (holla, pipes that are so gunked up that we can’t even see light through them), but it is still just sad.
    So yeah, showerhead.

    oh dear sweet JESUS save me from my 1970 WALL MOUNTED kitchen faucet. It looks like yours, but is mounted to the wall, so its really hard to find a replacement.

    With a South Philadelphia row home we’ve been renovating ourselves, we could use lots of things from National Builders. We just tore out our entire bathroom. It was so bad, everything had to go. Just started framing new walls yesterday and could definitely put that $100 to good use. They sell Hansgrohe showers! I’d probably be tempted to get one of those. Or a tub, sink, toilet, … we need it all.

    By sheer coincidence, we’re also in the market for a kitchen faucet, because our old one has somehow frozen in place so we can’t rotate it from side to side. I’m inclined towards the Delta Addison Single Hole Kitchen Faucet, in Venetian Bronze to match the rest of our fixtures.

    Last summer I visited a friend in Italy and was shocked and thrilled by the toilet in his apartment! It was just a bowl sticking out of the wall! I didn’t think I had lived a sheltered life, and god knows I am no spring chicken, but what a perfectly beautiful revelation that toilet was. No wax ring to dry out and be gross, no nasty knobs on the bolts at the base, looking up at me like, all, “OOh, yes, we’re clean! cute and clean! Really!” No cranny between the bowl and the water tank to hide dust and ickiness for years before you realize it’s even there! Oh, sweet Jesus, and no tank up against the wall which you can’t reach behind, and the innards of which seem to require for their correct functioning a specific alignment of the planets that is achieved once in 800,000 millenia. Oh, Gott in Himmel, this was just the one part you need, right there! WITH NO CRACKS OR CREVICES or ATTACHMENTS TO OTHER things where dirt can collect and from which no dirt can EVER escape! Jesus, Mary and Joseph I pray please send me a toilet like this, so simple, so clean, so perfect. Amen.

    Bewilderment. Thats what I feel looking at the scores of kitchen faucets displayed at big box stores. How to know which is quality, how it works, how to install, will it fit in my kitchen? Decisions, decisions, so difficult to finally make the plunge. My present cheap faucet has leaked for 2 or so years, but I’m so flummoxed, still nothing purchased.

    Daniel, you’ve helped me! It’s bookmarked the Grohe Minta Deck Mount Faucet & I will purchase the one you highlighted, that is, once I determine if it fits my sink.

    First, thank you Daniel for entertaining me and many others with your house adventures and slice-of-life snapshots of the family (Max, Mekko and Linus, and the members we read about but don’t see). And for manipulating the English language the way it was always meant to be manipulated. And for coming up with great ideas and illustrating the implementation in before and after, warts and all style. Second, your wise plumbing choice was no surprise. The wonderful thing about Grohe (and Hansgrohe, which is not the same company) is that the products are brilliantly designed and you can replace lots of individual parts even years after purchase. They are definitely worth the extra cash. I installed a Grohe kitchen faucet in about 30 minutes – the only thing you will need to dive under the sink for (cue image of plumbers butt) is to connect the water lines. The worst part of the operation – trying to fasten the faucet body onto the sink or the countertop by contorting your arm behind the sink bowl – is totally unnecessary, because you just bolt everything together from above. My own pipe-dream bathroom and kitchen renos will definitely get Grohe or Hansgrohe hardware. Thanks for the supplier tip!
