I like that Waterstone faucet and considered it myself, but in the end I decided the Dornbracht Tara with side spray (just the arc faucet- no pre-rinse huge contraption.) I also considered the modern Waterstone version of the faucet.

From Waterstone, I like the slightly retro vibe- and from Dornbracht, I feel like that faucet is the quintessential modern faucet at this time. The way Perrin and Rowe's faucet look like the Platonic ideal of an old fashioned faucet, the Tara looks similar to me, but for today (and by modern, I mean contemporary, as in today, not modern as in the sleekest coolest design.)

Love your counters!!

@rita is this the tara you are referring to? http://jlkbg.com/products/tara-classic-kitchen-faucet-with-side-spray/. Also, which other Waterstone do you prefer? hx

Yes, that is the faucet I got. The Waterstone I seriously considered was this one here dornbracht plp faucet pull down extended modern . It is the one melis got from the other thread where I saw you post.

I vote "no" to the bridge faucet. I think it's too fussy, and I don't see it coordinating with the Galley sink.

I like the Waterstone, but it looks BIG ... but so is the Galley sink. This is my favorite on this thread; just be sure that it's proportional to all your other choices.

Truthfully, I'm not convinced you have "the one" yet.

Mrs. Pete, are you thinking of something more traditional? Kohler Artifacts maybe?Perrin and Rowe make a pull down in the Aquitaine look as well. I like the Kohler Karbon a great deal too.

I thought it would be helpful to post some additional pictures. I've added a few for consideration. (I apologize for geeking out so much on faucets :-)

I'm really loving all of these suggestions. Too many to choose from as they are all great. Funny I had looked at the Kohler Artifacts a long time ago and love the design (heard the sprayer was great) but still don't like the color of the PN on this particular faucet.

I was going to get a bridge faucet but changed my mind for two reasons. First, I was tired of using two hands to turn on a faucet and try to get the flow and temp right. Second, I saw how much water collected on the counter from wet hands turning off the faucet at a friend's house. So I opted for a single handle and pulled it mostly to the front to avoid drips on the counter. I think the Artifacts is very pretty and I would have chosen that but I wanted a slightly different look.

Jhmarie, I am always so happy to see your kitchen. I really love it- it's so well thought out.

I've had this faucet now for over 14 years and still love it.<https://www.build.com/rohl-u-4746-2-kitchen-faucet/s735771?uid=1178247>;

I had them move the handle to the front as I have little space behind the faucet. Love it that way.

Thank you Rita - that is so sweet:)

@jhmarie - should I be rethinking my stainless sink choice vs. white? My stainless refrigerator will be directly behind my sink.

I have seen white sinks, especially white farmhouse sinks, in kitchens with stainless appliances frequently. If you are still able and wanting an apron front sink, the stainless steel Kohler Vault, like the Whitehaven, also comes in a short apron style. It is a little more contemporary looking.

The material of your sink is personal choice. Some people have very strong feelings about sink material. I prefer cast iron over stainless, but there are many here that prefer stainless over cast iron and others who love their granite or fireclay or Corian:)

I brought up the "short apron" style sinks because some do not know that there is an apron front sink for a standard sink base cabinet. I think there are also some short apron copper sinks available too. If you have already ordered a standard sink base cabinet and want a farm sink, it is possible. The apron is shorter, so you should look at them first to be sure you like the look. Personally, I like that I still have regular sized doors under my sink.

I don't think you can make a mistake on this- frankly with how pretty your cabinets and marble are, you would be hard pressed to set a foot wrong with such relatively inconsequential choices as to which very nice faucet to choose, or which type of sink.

If one lives in a hard water area, stainless will spot constantly. I hated this - my sink always looked dirty, and no, I was NOT going to dry my sink after each use! I have a white Corian integrated sink, but if I didn't, I'd have a white farmhouse style sink. Love stainless for appliances, just not for sinks!

Personally, I hate bridge faucets with side sprayers for function. I love pullouts. But, I realize most people like pulldowns. I would def do a pulldown over bridge. I have both a stainless sink in our FL condo and a cast iron white sink in our main house. I love the white cast iron and hate the stainless. Stainless never looks that clean. I had white cast iron at another house we built for seven years and always loved it. Just my opinion....
