Shopping on an Unlimited Budget...

Ival called me a few days ago with a question about the house.

"I just got the bill from Robertsons.  What does a $700 faucet look like?"

"I don't know.  Why?"

"Well, you picked out a $130 faucet for the kitchen then changed your mind and picked out one for $700."

"No I didn't."

"Yes, you did."

"You're kidding me."

"Nope."

"Shit.  Well, dammit you never gave me a budget when I went to look for plumbing.  You should have given me a budget you know.  I didn't even ask prices, just picked out what I liked.  I guess I have good taste."

I swear I don't remember doing that.  I also found out that my wonderful apron sink was $1,300.  Ival (thankfully) has worked with Robertson Supply for many years and they always give us a price break, but my sink ended up costing $500.  I never would have spent that much money on a sink!

So, the faucet was of course, a special order.  It's half the cost of the item to send it back and then the cost of the new faucet would only save us about $100.  So, I have a lovely super-expensive kitchen faucet.  I know that hubby will remind me of it every time he turns it on.

Because the faucet cost us $700, I wonder what the ACTUAL cost was?  That's what he gets for sending me shopping without a budget.

I will of course post pictures of the faucet once it's installed.  I hope it's guilded with Swarovski crystals.  I love them.  To be honest, I don't remember what this wonderful faucet looks like, but I'm sure I'll love it again!
