After moving in our home, we quickly realized the kitchen was not going to work for us with its layout and the condition of the cabinets. The pictures tell the whole story. The kitchen had a big wall to enclose it and was probably the hot thing to do in the 80s. it also had a soffit above the 30 inch upper cabinets which made an already low 8 foot ceiling even lower. The kitchen cabinets were horrendous and falling apart, so there was no real refacing options to fix them. The previous owners attempted to put lipstick on a pig by tiling over the old countertops and only made more of a mess. The kitchen, dining room, and den were one room but the wall really made everything feel small and blocked the light. It felt like a dungeon with the yellow bulb ceiling fans being so low in an 8 foot room. The dining room area had two old aluminum windows with a window A/C screwed into the frame. The tile in the kitchen flowed into the den where id had an ugly laminate. The fireplace and featurette window was really the only charm of the entire room. The fireplace had a really ugly wood paneling beside it, so it needed to be removed to update the room. The fireplace hearth was also ugly, chipped, and had more ugly wood surrounds on it. The ceilings had an ornate look to it that was really awesome, but we knew that we would have to put fresh drywall on the ceilings once we took out the soffit above the kitchen.
I am not a DIYer, but my stepdad is and offered to help and teach me. He let me know the wall in the kitchen was not load bearing and could be removed. The attic space above the kitchen/den was very spacious to maneuver in so we were able to predict a lot of problem areas. So then the demo starts and we realize that plumbing is a major issue. We had to come up with some PEX solutions to reroute the plumbing hidden in the soffit and some issues had to simply remain unsolved. I think all soffits hold secrets, so beware removing the soffit! I chiseled out all the old tile and grout and they came up surprisingly easy from the concrete subfloor. When we realized that all the wiring was stapled to the 2x4s in the back wall, we had no choice but to demo the entire wall. This was no easy demo of drywall. This was drywall + stucco and wire lathing + plaster on top in places. It was thick and the walls were built like a tank. It took a ton of demo blades to cut everything out and a lot of time. Once we peeled the walls back I figured I would peel more back in the dining area so I could replace the windows with a sliding door. That revealed the worst thing of all. TERMITES! They literally ate the entire wall. I hired a carpenter to help us build a new header and studs and put in the slider. We rerouted the plumbing, and then did a ton of electrical work to outfit the new kitchen wall to code since we moved the stove. We also ran additional wiring for under cabinet lighting to a switch. We trenched an electric wire in the concrete sub floor to power the island. We extended the outlets behind the fireplace cabinets so we could use the for a future TV. We sealed up the chimney and ran an electric line into the fireplace itself to set it up for an electric insert.

I spent about $300 for my kitchen faucet because it was one of those fancy pull down on a spring things. It was what I'd wanted for a long time but couldn't justify just buying outright... seemed like a good time to get it. BUT that was also one of the most expensive kitchen faucets I could find that I could say "this adds form and function" without instead saying "how much can I spend on a kitchen faucet".
Granite in the entire house cost under $5k. Farmhouse deep sink was another $300? I don't know how you drop 3k on a single faucet/sink combo.
Maybe something like this .
I recently bought a $169 Kohler Malleco touchless kitchen faucet from Costco and absolutely love it. The sensor is perfectly calibrated and works reliably and extremely well.
Like others have said, use the side sprayer hole to install a soap dispenser (this faucet does come with one, by the way).
Again, the touchless feature is super-awesome in the kitchen. You may think it’s a gimmick but trust me, you won’t be able to live without it.
Edit: if you’re put off by the seemingly low average of amazon reviews, make sure you read the negative reviews: they’re either about no fit in someone’s kitchen, or posted by people who don’t understand how it works.
I've seen tap locks around, of various levels of sophistication. Here is one example.
We have this one and it’s been great!

When I first saw my current home I felt the same about a lot of aspects of it. After a few tweaks the home really grew on me and I really love it.

I hope I captured the general feel of the design you like. I hope these will help you create your perfect kitchen.
Painting the cabinets would help a lot. If you have a color scheme in mind - maybe a light color on the cabinets with some bolder accents (cutting board, vase, utensil holder... etc)? Any contrasting colors would look nice imo. Maybe not white for the cabinets, as it could make the walls look dingy in comparison. (Edit: although that back wall is the perfect candidate for an accent wall. Tempaper has some really cool patterned removable wallpapers!)
Definitely bring some plants in. Trailing plants above the cabinets, some cookbooks propped up (so you see the cover) up there would look nice too, and would bring the eye upward. Flowers on the countertop would look lovely as well!
A runner rug would help bring some personality in and tie the room together. Also, cabinet pulls are cheap and it’s easy to find some that match your preferred style, on amazon or at any hardware store.
Finally, if you can afford to replace the sink faucet, I think that would add a lot to the space. This one on amazon looks expensive, but is only $77. link That one took 30 seconds to find, I’m sure there are plenty more within that price range that you might like!
Hmmm, youre a gamer so I'd say you would enjoy having [this] (http://www.amazon.com/LightInTheBox-Kitchen-Faucet-Sprayer-Nozzle/dp/B004W1SEYM/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1368560547&sr=8-11&keywords=light+shower+head) and I have been trying to get some games for my game gear so I would love to get [this] (http://www.amazon.com/The-Lion-King-sega-game-gear/dp/B000056PZ0/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=EYB47AJ077Y1&coliid=I1VLW5HOY41DP7) mainly to bring back memories and play. :D
I just moved in to a new place, and the kitchen faucet is basically just a pipe. I would like to get a nice spraying faucet like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071FJ4DZB?psc=1, but I don't think this will mount correctly. I don't know whether to get something that will attach to the wall or the socket between the knobs. Any advice will help!
Alternatively, install a double faucet
https://www.amazon.com/APPASO-Stainless-Functions-Sprayhead-K123-BN/dp/B0748CG1LV/ref=sr_1_8?keywords=kitchen+faucets&pd_rd_r=a5e6d20f-643d-43a6-9cce-ecb3a3ada3e6&pd_rd_w=Ge0ND&pd_rd_wg=ASCnA&pf_rd_p=67c9d84c-d98a-4415-a549-dd3360e9d207&pf_rd_r=W4JVHCA6CK03XGEZBABN&qid=1567715637&s=gateway&sr=8-8
Price is really going to come down to how nice of a faucet you want and if you’ll put it in yourself. More faucet installs are pretty simple with an adjustable wrench and maybe a screw driver. Most newer faucets are made to be weekend warrior proof. Just make sure you find one that is a single post and not one with separate posts for the valves. Something like this would likely work great for you and be a nice little upgrade over what you had. You would just install it without the rectangle plate at the bottom, which will be one of the install options n the instructions.
If you show the underside where the faucet attaches to the waterline I can say for sure if it’s a simple DIY or not. You’ll be looking for a hex nut fitting on copper or braided flexible tubing (or one connecting to the other). As long as the faucet isn’t soldered to the water line, you’ll be able to do it without any issues.
Mine is similar to this one here. https://www.amazon.com/Brass-commercial-kitchens-Department-requirements/dp/B07R2D26H6/ref=sr_1_32?crid=TFPJC0G58EEX&keywords=prerinse+sprayer+hose&qid=1557126342&s=gateway&sprefix=prerinse+s%2Caps%2C138&sr=8-32

The main differences between yours and mine is the button for spraying water. Yours after a while might need a replacement trigger due to the smaller button wearing down the inside of the trigger.

Although if kids were going to be home alone I’d just unplug beer lines in fridge then install a locked on the fridge so they can’t open it
I have had this sink for the past couple of years -it's been fantastic. I can wash my 15-gallon SS Brewtech pot easily. It even lays down sideways in the tub with room to spare. My concern with a SS sink (beyond price) was that it might scratch my brew kettle. I have no such concerns with the plastic tub.
I highly recommend a pull-down sprayer like this style. The one I purchased is no longer available but it is similar.
The faucet will be for a single basin 33" composite granite bowl. We'd prefer a name brand faucet (Kohler, Moen, Delta, etc) for reliability. The more we think about it, maybe it'll help to keep costs down (at least a little) if we go with a "hard" goose-neck, with a touch sensor, and the faucet head connected to a retractable pull out hose. If that makes sense?
This is the kind of sink we're looking at. This is the kind of faucet.
Chuckle fucks!

Hero of time
Pretty colors!
I would:
• completely lose the wall between the dining and living room
• take the bar height counter down to counter height
• extend the countertop into the living room more, giving 14-16 inches of countertop beyond the wall to allow for leg room when sitting, and maybe extend the peninsula a bit towards the dining area
• replace the top mount sink with an under-mount sink, or a farm sink if it's in the budget
• replace the current kitchen faucet with a very cool, conversation piece type faucet, like this, this, this, or this, depending on your particular style.
Edit: formatting
Edit #2, I was in a rush yesterday, and my google search for "cool kitchen faucets" was underwhelming, so these faucets are techno free:

Naa I got a converter kit and a diverter plug. Works perfectly. Cutting into the wall and buying/replacing the valve would have taken many more hours of work and actually would have costed a lot more. No regrets ;D
