Thanks for your responses and compliments! Please continue to send faucet information if others have any to share! circuspeanut, glad you like my sinks! The original sink is one of the selling point for me about this house. DH wanted to get rid of it when updating the kitchen, and replace it with a new, undermount sink. I had to say NO to that idea every time the kitchen update project was mentioned (we are DIY, hubby VERY handy with his tools :) "blush") ! He finally got the picture that I REALLY want to keep the sink, so, after 16 years, we are proceeding with the kitchen project with sink in place! Well, he actually moved it out from the cabinets and raised it a couple inches. Love it! Thanks for the links for the faucets. I'm really wanting something with a little more character than those, preferably some curves. I've seen some, even ordered one, but the spout reach ended up being too far. mom2lilenj, I like that faucet. It is the one I had decided on if I can't find something with a little curve to it. Could you tell me how high the soap dish is above the faucet? Actually, the measurement from the bottom of the bridge to the top of the soap dish would be great! DH extended my windowsill a few inches, giving me a wide shelf above the sink for my pots of herbs, and I'm hoping the soap dish wouldn't interfere with that. Do you like having the soapdish attached to the kitchen sink? I'd love to see a photo of your kitchen, and another of the sink area. Care to share? danielleak450, I love the type sink you mentioned having also! My sink is original to the house, and these are the original kitchen cabinets. However, the sink had been undermounted for about 90 years and you couldn't see the "bulk" of it until this kitchen update! We recently removed the sink (fireclay, 42inch, very heavy) with the help of a jack, and DH cut the sink base cabinet down to accomodate the front edge of the sink, exposing the apron while raising the sink to a more appropriate height for me. He also had to extend the area under the window sill and behind the sink backsplash in order to move the sink out. I love what we came up with! The wide shelf is going to be great for my herbs this summer. buffalotina Our kitchen cabinets are origninal, except that DH had to alter the sink base to expose the sink as shown above. They were painted "wild berry" when we bought the house in the early 90's! I quickly toned them down to Ralph Lauren "country stove white" and that color has worked well for me all these years. As I mentioned above, DH is very handy, and I recently talked him into building me a butlers pantry with cabinets to match the kitchen ones. He did all the work himself, and they are a great match! We were even able to find hinges and he altered the mounting style, so they look like the originals as well! I can give you information on those if you are interested. I'll post photos of the before and after, so far. Keep in mind, I'm still looking for the perfect paint color (a tan green) and final touches. before now-added antique stove (for storage and serving surface), raised sink up and out, new countertop, drawer pulls, bead board backsplash - still needs paint, rug, new faucet, final touches New butler's pantry DIY, cabinets and all-still needs paint, dw panel to match cabinets, and a few final touches

If you're going to put it that close to the wall, don't forget the space required for the faucet itself. Some folks have forgotten that some models of single handle faucets will not work close to a wall because the handle is not free to move. Also there is usually a minimum distance required for the hole, faucet, washers and space to get a tool up there to tighten it down.

I'm using the Moen Level faucet. It is nstalled at the center of my sink and reaches the offset drain just fine. I realize this faucet is totally different from your desired faucet but I just posted to show you that a faucet with a different shape can reach the drain just fine. Here is a link that might be useful: Moen Level This post was edited by itsallaboutthefood on Wed, Jul 17, 13 at 15:53

Spring if I understand your question correctly I have my (all Waterstone brand for faucet, sprayer and insta-hot faucet) faucet (single hole with integrated handle) centered behind my sink, the insta-hot to the left of the faucet, and my sprayer to the right of my faucet. I opted not to have a soap dispenser, and all handles for the faucets are on the right which I like for my faucet but probably should have put on the left for my insta-hot as I find it a little awkward to turn it on overtop of my hand holding the mug/pan/whatever, I just liked the symmetry of both handles on the same side. I'm right handed btw. I have a single bowl soapstone sink and the holes are all in the countertop behind the sink. One of the biggest considerations is if the faucet will fit between the sink and the wall and if the handle and the profile of the faucet will be able to operate freely without hitting the wall or any sort of window sill above it. Don't forget to figure in the thickness of a backsplash to that equation. This is not the best pic, but hopefully you can see the set up. They are all evenly spaced. Kat :)
