What style is your kitchen?

It's traditional. We are doing cherry ( bourbon noir finish) perimeter cabs, black rubbed L shaped island cabs. Will have different granite on perimeter counters than island....haven't picked it yet but something red-gold-dark. SS appliances. Our kitchen flows into the family room which is fairly trad... gold walls, suede sofa, glass tables etc etc. We're trying to update and go a little more contemp. oh, and we're thinking of taking the granite tops up the wall by the stove as a backsplash. So, the pot filler would go in there. Will have a large custom hood between the upper cabs as well. I'm not a gourmet cook by any stretch.... just LOVE the pot filler look. Probably only because I have never has one ha. My friend said to just install it but don't run water to it.... no one would ever know LOL I do plan on cooking much more once this thing is done....I'm really looking forward to that !!!!!

I will say that I paid much too much for mine,(considering the amount of use it will get) it is ORB Moen. I found that there are several ORB styles at overstock.com. I may have gone this route if I did not prepurchase the Moen with all the home lavatory needs earlier in the build.

In case it helps, you can search on the Finished Kitchens Blog for kitchens with potfillers, and look at their pictures.

It seems that many are oriented left of the center of the cooktop, maybe because that's where the biggest burner is usually located. That's pure speculation on my part... and your cooktop may be laid out different.

We have the Rohl U.4799LS for $803 from Home and Stone. I wanted a pot filler that reached all the burners. We centered it over the range. check the reach for any potfiller you buy. I was going to get a different one but it didn't reach all the way. Here's and old pic while in construction - need to get an updated one soon.

As I looked through more pictures I saw just as many potfillers on the right or at center as those on the left. So it could depend on how your cooktop is laid out (which burner are you most likely to use for a big pot of water?) and behind-the-wall plumbing constraints. You'll also want to make sure it accommodates your tallest pot.

I have a Danze Opulence. The part that comes out of the wall is centered over my range. I don't have one burner that is hotter than another, I wanted it to reach all burners and it does, it has a nice long reach.

As far as height, make sure it can clear your tallest pot. I grabbed my canning pot and measured that.

I'm right-handed, so my pot filler is on the right. It is also outside the recessed niche behind the stove. I didn't want a plumbing fixture to distract from the pretty tile in the recessed niche.

Thanks All,
Great pics as well !!!!!
