So the kitchen reno has officially started. Well, in the sense that I bought the first item for it: a fancy-schmancy faucet.
Here's my rationalizing (don't I do that with everything?) product description, as best told as possible in an info-mercial kind of way:
The Delta Pilar Kitchen Faucet is the latest innovation from Delta Faucets, a reliable yet somewhat economical company. What makes it so innovative?
Well, have you ever done any food prep where your hands became really dirty (let's say, working with raw meats)? You have to wash them, but oh-oh, you have to touch the faucet handle! You don't want to contaminate that sucker. I mean, sure, you can just clean and sanitize it afterwards, but why do that when you can avoid it? How, you say? Well, what if there was a product out there where you just have to touch any part of the faucet with your clean forearm and it turns on, to the water temperature you had set beforehand?
Wouldn't you want to get it?
Well, we did!
Faucet will make skin whiter and will make cookies. I think
That's right, this kitchen of ours is going to be, using one of my favourite terms, "Bourgeos". We're moving on up, baby!
Lest you think I all of a sudden didn't become cheap (let's face it, I am. There's a reason my house is so cold you could see your breath while talking during the winter), here's the story of how I gots it (in bullet form):
-Home Depot, $399.99
-Lowe's, $318.40
-Home Depot matches and beats by 10% = $286.56
-result? Okay, fine, WE STILL HAVE A FRIKIN' EXPENSIVE-ASS FAUCET
But it's fancy! And I already rationalized it. I sort of dread to think about how much we're gonna spend for the sink and countertops. Considering how upper-crust my tastes are getting...Sharon, my love? You better start making more monies, your trophy wife is going shoppin'!
