My partner and I spent the last four years building our house with our own four hands. Crazy I know... We did this to save money so when it comes to appliances we are constantly on the search for things that are of good quality but aren't going to break the bank. Striking the happy medium can be quite difficult. We are both highly aesthetic people; I am a visual artist and he a musician but has an eye for art as well. I've just gotta say... we are IN LOVE with this faucet. It is beautiful and pairs well with our composite granite sink. The curve of the neck and handle remind me of a black swan. I'd recommend this beauty to anyone.
