Pot filler - is this a must in a kitchen for resale and also must it match the faucet? Stainless ok?

[Anonymous]

Is a pot filler a must? I thought it would help resale since our kitchen is really small. Must it match the faucet finish or is stainless to match appliances ok? Thank you.

If your kitchen is really small, it probably is not that hard to carry a pot of water from the sink to the stove.

I haven't put one in any of the kitchens I have redone. I don't tend to do huge pots of water (pasta for 12? Lobster fest?) very frequently though.

Thank you. Any recs for really nice backsplash? It is a really small area so I can afford to splurge.

I think pot fillers are silly.

I wouldn't set foot in a kitchen without a pot filler. Imagine.

We did a high-end kitchen renovation and didn't do a pot-filler. Our house sold quickly for over asking price, so I don't think it hurt resale!

I have never heard of a pot filler. SMH.

I would prefer not to have one. Everyone I know when one has had it break.

I don't see the point

You probably want to start a new thread or search for backsplash threads, but lots of people think marble is great if you can splurge.

No pot fillers, especially in a small kitchen where visually you want to declutter.

Backsplash: DH was lucky enough to find really high end cream-colored square tiles at an estate sale. They blend with our cream cabinets. We added tiny copper fleur de lys accents in between the tiles throughout; and above the stove inserted a copper plaque depicting a hummingbird with flowers. It goes well with our hammered copper sink and walnut countertops.

I don't get the point. There's no drain at the stove, so you have to carry water from the stove to the sink when you're done cooking. Why is that any different than carrying from the sink to the stove when you start cooking?

So you don't have to carry the water twice.
