HERE’S ANOTHER WALL MOUNT KITCHEN FAUCET for our retro recommendation list. The Delta 200 Classic Wall Mount Kitchen Faucet. Isn’t it wonderful looking? Such a quirky blast from the past. Spotted by Scathing Jane. If anyone buys one let us know how you like it. You can buy it directly from the manufacturer via my Pamazon store, for what looks like a pretty good price, $89. Thanks, Jane!
Okay, this is the last day of my little fixation with retro laminates. (For now.) As you know, I am a devotee of the Sherwin Williams Suburban Modern palette, both interior and exterior. So, I have gone through Arpa’s line of solid-colored laminates and for the most part, been able to line up 10 colors [...]
These are new from Formica. Both look like they could swing either “warm” or “cool” – that is, work across the spectrum from reds (and pinks) to blues. I really like the Linen – a very typical look for the 50s — Hey, Formica, can we have it in green, blue, pink and yellow?!: And, [...]
Following up on Monday’s exciting post about the Arpa USA palette of solid-color laminates, let’s take a look at how to use this material to recreate this 1959 Ma Bell kitchen. It would be oh-so-easy! Elements include: Laminate cabinetry using Arpa’s “Jardin” colorway. Cabinet pulls: Rejuvenation’s new midcentury “sharp arch”, in satin chrome Countertops are [...]
ALAS: DISCONTINUED! The website says that these are for “contract” jobs — that is, interior designers working on commercial projects. But hey, if you really like these retro laminate choices, go after Nevamar and get them! Remember: The only way to do these…is to pair them with authentic steel countertop and backsplash edging available from [...]
UPDATE (Oct 2011): Click over to –> this story to get an update on all three sources for boomerang laminate. If you are planning Formica Boomerang countertop in aqua for your kitchen renovation, you’d better order now. Alas, if you were planning the skylark (light blue) or coral, it’s already too late.

Where can I find a wall-mount faucet for my vintage kitchen sink?

Oh! If only I had seen this when I was out last year looking for a laundry room faucet for my vintage sink! This would have been superior in appearance and usage to the one I have which sticks out too far in my opinion!
We have this faucet in our kitchen, and I cannot stand it. It leaks and sprays water from the turn-on valve every time it’s used. It’s been 2 years, and we’re extremely unhappy with it.
Get a rebuild kit for it for about $15 at home depot.
Delta 200 wall mount faucets, why did they ever discontinue them?
I am searching all over the US for one.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks,
Mike
