Dang...I could only live with this for so long!

So here is a picture of my kitchen faucet...

Yep....it was broken for about 2 weeks. The problem is that it WAS usable so I got used to it! I finally called out a plumber to hear "yep, it's broken"....really? That's a newsflash.....

When I bought it about 7 years ago, I thought I would buy a "really good" model that would last forever. Right. Forever is 7 years I guess.

So that meant I could get a new one :) AND here is the one I ordered...

The Kohler "Purist". Got a great deal here. I have used them many times and they have great customer service.

It's a good thing I got a deal because they charged me 265.00 to put it in! AYFKM? For 20 minutes. THAT got my husbands attention. He was shocked. I was shocked. Clearly I chose the wrong profession. I should have been a plumber. Just think, install 6 of those a day...2 hours work...1,590.00 a day.....7,950.00 a week......you do the math.

Then I could quit shopping at Homegoods and start shopping anywhere! No budget for me.

Next...I need to finally change my backsplash. I picked this out in 1994. 16 years ago....So I was thinking subway tiles...safe I know. I am going to wrack my pea brain to think of something different. Any suggestions?
