Have you considered a combination of finishes in your faucet? I saw a kitchen faucet with chrome AND copper just a few weeks ago......it was gorgeous and only $169 brand new!! Here are a few pics of a few I've seen, it was very similar to the bottom pic but with the finish combination of the top pic. I'm not sure who made it but it was VERY nice. These pics of Fontaine faucets doesn't seem to be as costly as some but I'm not sure of product feedback. I do know they are on ebay though. Its just my "likes" but I prefer mine to match or at least blend, like a combination. Good luck with your choice : ) This is a bathroom faucet but the combination I was trying to explain. Both are the Fontaine product in these pics btu I think Delta may have them too.

My kitchen has brass for the cabinet pulls and handles with stainless for the appliances and faucet. Two metals, looks great. If pewter is what you really want start with that. I’m thinking the first thing to do is buy yourself a sample pewter pull or knob and see how it goes with your kitchen IRL.. If you like the look then you can get a replacement faucet in either pewter or stainless if you are worried about everything blending together. Even If you keep the present faucet till you get around to doing that I’m pretty sure visitors won’t start shrieking when they spot it. No, they won’t even notice it. I can’t say I love oil rubbed bronze - not because it isn’t handsome, but because I suspect it will be dated as a finish in a couple of years. Pewter and stainless seem more timeless. Congratulations on your new home. :)

When you need water to fill a pot, there might be a handy container holding a quart or two, and sitting there, right next to the cooktop. Your domestic servants could fill the container in the morning. Or, if a person were to organize their habits so there is this container at hand, they get the same result. One could buy bottled water and have it nearby when cooking. Since it's a sealed container, nobody can have afterthoughts about being poisoned by "loose" water that may be altered. (!). If you kept an open container of self-filled water hanging around all the time, sooner or later someone would have this thought and utter it. Whether or not the water is "still good". When water sits inside your copper pipes and comes out of the tap, nobody has this thought in their head. In any case, it is possible to provide water without installing plumbing supply lines and a potfiller faucet. Any container will do. Then, instead of carrying the pot over to the sink and carrying a filled pot back to the cooktop, the pot stays there. You fill the pot there. The ultimate question is how to dispose of the cooking water later. I have seen a post showing a photo of a linear drain behind the cooktop. It was from John Whipple who posts in the bathrooms forum. A linear drain is a flat piece of metal that you can use both as a counter and a drain cover. It is a straight line, or a long thin rectangle. This drain channel integrated into the counter is only a drain, not as useful as a prep sink. One may connect its drain pipe to the drain of any nearby sink. (keywords are "tubular continuous waste" if you want to see how to connect it.) If any sink is nearby, you can get an extra long hose for your pull-out or pull-down faucet. The long hose allows the spray wand to reach over to the cooktop. I mentioned this in 2009 and someone implemented it immediately. Can't recall their username right now. Someone has a Kohler Karbon at a sink, installed beside the side not behind it, so the Karbon can also fill pots. (sochi). Consider adding a prep sink no matter how small it might be. It could be only a few inches diameter. --- in many discussions, people have commented that they don't want to clutter up the kitchen sink area with multiple holes drilled and multiple water delivery devices popping up out of the counter. But, everyone wants filtered water, or would enjoy having it if it could be integrated into their kitchen without hassle or eyesore-ness. I wonder why there is no market for no wall-mount filtered water taps that one could install near a cooktop, to do double duty. Of course, the flow rate from a filter is about half the flow of a potfiller, but I don't see that as a concern. It's not a big deal. -- Pot fillers are designed for high flow and cannot be used as glass fillers. People like them. Nobody has ever posted to say they dislike looking at it. -- nobody has ever posted to say the potfiller caused any water damage by leaking. Not even in another kitchen that they heard of. hmm. i see something here. -- when leaks destroy a floor, the refrigerator water line is often the guilty culprit. The supply line to the refrigerator is the weak link. It is often a lightweight material, easily subject to damage. Also, the two connection points often leak. -- many threads ask about potfillers. all these threads ask how to keep the price down. i see a recurring question here. Asking about the money makes sense to me. One can buy a kitchen mixer for $20. It mixes two supply temperatures. A potfiller is a single tap providing on/off function. That costs less in terms of valve technology. But they charge TEN times more. -- Here is a link that might be useful: kitchen mixer for $20 so why not a potfiller for less $

As to the 1 or 2 pulls on long drawers, thats been brought up here before. Many are of the mind that you're likely to only have one free hand so one pull would be best since the force would be on the center of the drawer. That said, I personally think one looks skimpy on a wide drawer and so opted for 2 on my 30 inch drawers.
