How 'Splashy' is a Gooseneck Faucet in a Farmhouse Sink?
Comments (5)I have the Kohler HiRise bridge gooseneck faucet you are referring to, it is gorgeous SOLID stainless steel through and through. However, yes there is a lot of splashing into my undermount Kohler "Alcott" fireclay apron sink. I am wondering now if the HiRise is too large for my small apron sink.. though i may try a spray attachment to see if it can be minimized. I figured it would be a fine match being both sink/ faucet combo is by Kohler (the saleslady at the Kohler store said it would be fine). However, the Alcott apron sink in the Kohler catalog pics shows a different (perhaps smaller) faucet installed. (We have a tiny kitchen and the Alcott was the smallest apron sink we could find) When i have the faucet barely turned on, say to rinse a spoon, there is alot of splashing. I am considering getting the separate sprayer nozzle installed cos it is difficult to rinse the sink out with the gooseneck. Then again, if you are getting a med-large size apron sink the HiRise may be just perfect. Hope this helps some!...See MoreAre the pulldown faucets too 'splashy'?
Comments (7)I have a high arcing faucet and find I have no splash problem. Usually I find there is greater splash the closer the water source is to the item it's hitting--think about rinsing things under your faucet, the closer you get, the more splash. I would think the amount of splash would more depend on the water pressure. So I'm confused why there would be more of a problem with a high arc than with a faucet that has a lower rise above the sink. I love the large space between sink and faucet because I can manipulate any large item (think big stock pot) under it while rinsing the outsides. I have zero splash in stream mode (the water doesn't have a lot of pressure and the flow is less than in spray mode.) When I have it in spray mode there is some splash but a lot less splash than I get with a separate hand held sprayer. I tend to use the faucet in spray mode most of the time and have it in stream mode only for filling narrow-necked items. I don't know if the difference in water flow is true of all faucets or if it's unique to our Cucina Andrea faucets. I like the pull down sprayer better than hand held because I can have both hands free to manipulate items I'm washing or paring when the nozzle is seated in the faucet. One hand becomes unavailable when a hand held sprayer is used so everything has to be manipulated one-handed. I also like being able to leave a large pot on the counter, resting the nozzle over the rim, and letting it fill. I have my hands free for other tasks while I'm waiting and the sink doesn't have to be empty to get the large pot under the faucet. I've been happily using our 2 hi-arcing faucets for more than 3 years. I wouldn't want anything different...See MoreCan I change paint and leave all the rest? Going neutral
Comments (24)Thank you all for your responses! I think maybe I wasn't clear above. I LOVE my curtains, rug and accents. :) Including the baskets. I use them regularly and I like the look of them. So that would leave as options painting the walls, trim and cabinets. I was really looking for dark drapes and light walls when I found those inspiration pics. I do see that the trim is light too. I guess I did not have much luck finding dark trim and dark drapes. :( I will look some more. I have actually been moving to stainless appliances as they break down. I guess that is an old picture! It doesnt change things too much on its own Chispa! It is a good idea though. If there is very little painted wood in a house, would it look odd to have painted cabinets? Auntjen I was thinking of you when I was posting and as I have been thinking of painting. I love how your house transformed with your new colors. I loved it before too, but now it seems more, I dont know, serene? Your artwork and accessories are more the focus maybe. I think Pal did a post on that awhile back. Maybe it was someone else, but either the paint or the accessories standing out. Both maybe is jarring. madeyna - I am more worried about painting the trim and lower cabinets with the young kids. I know it will show dings and dents way more that way. I wonder if I can paint just the uppers or if that will look half done? olychick! you are so smart. I hadnt even thought about the old picture. It has a much darker rug in it. but you are right, the DR before painting had whitish yucky wallpaper, b ut it gives you and idea. I have to say, I didn't really like it like that at all. but I think it was because the paper is white. I am thinking of more a cream/light beige color which is warmer. I think I have to try a color visualizer or something. that might help. teacats I think you are right - start with the walls. then see how it evolves. lavender lass I like the idea of a warmer color. White I think would be too harsh. I am going to look at that matte color when I get home. I think that might be a good starting point. I would love to see pictures Kimberly, cindyloo and southerngal. :) LOL pattycakes. DH has a cousin that is a painter so luckily we usually get him to paint for us. I dont think I could do it myself at this point! :) I for sure need a new light fixture lascatx. well, actually two in the kitchen they are both terrible. Any other paint suggestions for the walls? Thoughts on painting the upper half of the cabinets?...See MoreMichelia Alba leaves all turning yellow
Comments (8)Dave. Hi.. This link should be of great help for in ground growing) http://homeguides.sfgate.com/care-michelia-alba-104056.html Also Quoted from another member who is good at growing them in ground..Looks like you might have to add a little lime to your soil and use a good 10 10 10 fertilizer...Also I would make sure your ground is very well draining..I would stop using certain chemical since most fertilizers have the nutrients that a plant needs..If you starting adding this or that, too much of a good thing can cancel out another nutrient..For example, too much Mg can cancel out Ca..I would start with your pH and focus of the roots needs..That would mean a fast draining soil and to keep the roots warm if you live in an area like that...Then watch your watering and fertilize with something light.... "Now it is not the season for M. ALBA 's flowering in your zone. And it is not the fertilizing season either. We fertilize our M.ALBA in the end of Feb.or early March when it start to put out new leaves in Southern CA (outside the house). M. ALBA likes warm and humity environment. It likes weak acidc soil (say PH 6.2)and acidic water. It needs heavy fertilizer when it in growing and blooming season. I would suggest you to start fertilizing it when you can move it out of the house and it start to grow new leaves. Any balanced fertilizer will be fine for M. ALBA. I give them Fish Emulsion, 2 table spoon per galon and once a wk.In summer, twice a wk.MiraGrow is good too and it can decrease the ph of our hard water here. Now your M. ALBA stays in your house w/ less light. Just let it sleep which lots of the plants need it in the winter. During this time giving it less water (say once two wks thrououtly). Keep the humity high in the house is a good idea." Hope it's helpful!...See More
