Distance from counter edge to faucet?

[kaylie]

I'm having a mid-kitchen reno meltdown. Anyone want to reassure me that it will all be okay?

We have a corner sink in our kitchen which I'm not a huge fan of, but we aren't moving plumbing. The faucet is going to be ~26'' back from the front edge of the counter. Is that too far?

If it matters, here is the sink, it's 21'' from front to back:

Here is the faucet ( it makes me happy to look at it):

It should be fine since most faucets fall anywhere from 24-26" from the edge depending on the depth of the overhang (standard 1.5" but can fall 0-2").

We must be on the same page today; H and I went faucet shopping this morning and cried this afternoon.  The prices are outta control!

LOL thanks!

Did you think it would be more fun than this? I keep having small panic attacks, mostly in conjunction with spending large chunks of money.

That faucet is Danze brand; you might want to check them out. I got it for $227 and it's pretty high quality. I was all set to buy a similar looking Grohe for $450 when I realized that price didn't include the handles . Those were an additional $130 and I just couldn't justify it. I'm really happy with this one, though.

Handles for an additional $130! That's crazy. Crazy.

I fell in love with this:

We priced both stainless and black, and they both came back at over $1k. Faucets Direct has it and stainless is only $950. Yeah, only...not happening.  The search must go on!

Oh, man. That is a really cool faucet.
