Hi summery. From that thread, I actually have the Chicago wall mount (non-spray) faucet that trailrunner used, installed in 2010. (What's really weird is I also have a black recycled lab sink, very similar to hers.) Anyway, I've been semi, maybe, kind of thinking about changing to a spray head, so I'm bookmarking this. I don't know anything about Jaclo, either, but thanks for the tip. I'll do a little searching again, too. I thought I had found some.

My preference would be no decor, aside from what's on the sill. I've seen sconces mounted in that area, but that could be problematic to wire, depending on the framing. Maybe they had shelves and decided against bringing them back with the new cabinets? I might put one shelf on each side, right above the backsplash. That way they'll be easy to reach and clean and put more fresh herbs within reach. If you think the area begs for decor, visit some local art fairs and look at pottery. For sophisticated, canisters would go in the cabinet and countertops would be clear, except for frequent use items. Your mushroom ones make me smile!

It is true that some of the faucet companies make a level that they sell for lower cost through home center stores, but these will not have the same serial number as the more expensive, usually better made, faucet. I've noticed Home Depot seems to also carry more expensive lines too. For example, they carry the Whitehaven sink - and it is the real Whitehaven sink. A company cannot sell two different versions of the same product under the same serial number. If you see a well made faucet you like at a plumb supply store, get the serial number if you want to do comparable home center or online shopping. If the price difference is not much, I do try to give local companies my business.

I would recommend a sofa table to anchor floating sofa. The sofa table would also provide a nice view and presentation when entering the room. From an Eastern Feng Shui perspective, I believe the wall where two chairs are would be the sofa wall. However, where your sofa is now is fine and works for the space. But since the other wall is most likely sofa wall, having two chairs there may feel a bit off. I think a smaller scaled sofa/loveseat or even a chaise might work better on that wall. I just mention this in case you have been having issues with trying to balance that wall. If it is not an issue, disregard these thoughts. There are mounts that lower the tv for comfortable viewing, and this is a very good one. There is also a motorized option. https://www.dynamicmounting.com/product/down-and-out-manual-mount/ Another option could be putting tv on long, low console, to right of fireplace and you could alternatively hang some art or a mirror over fireplace.
