On the list of small projects that can have a big impact on a kitchen, changing plumbing fixtures ranks high. Although a new sink and faucet (no matter how fancy) probably won't repay you in dollars at resale time, they will add visual impact and show that you’ve taken good care of your home. Whether you’re planning to put your house on the market or are just sprucing up the kitchen to make it more livable for your family, here are 10 things you should know before buying and installing a new sink and faucet.
Pro's and con's of whether to have 1)a fixed faucet for each sink, or one that swivels between sinks.
2) A faucet that goes up 10-12" above the counter for extra room for pots or shallower sinks, versus the flush mounted types.
and 3) A spray hose. (chosing one that doesn't last very long before leaking has been a common headache for a lot of people.)
