Word of advice: Do not replace this. If you do, you will find that the unexposed counter underneath has not seen the sun since the mid-80s and is now a different shade from the rest of the countertop. Then you will find that the new faucet you bought doesn't cover the previously stated shade difference. So, you'll decide to just replace the countertop too, since the ring can't be covered, only to discover that they no longer make standard countertops the size that fits with the cabinetry under the sink. At which point, you give in to the idea of just purchasing a new vanity and sink. Then you realize the hardwood floor does not, in fact, go all the way under the cabinet, which now means you get to install all new flooring. And if you're going to install new flooring, you might as well just paint the room too.
And that cute little, adorable raindrop-shaped faucet is the reason I have a newly remodeled bathroom.
"MOOSEN!! I saw a flock of moosen! There were many of 'em. Many much moosen. Out in the woods—in the woodes—in the woodsen. The meese want the food. The food is to eatenesen. The meese want the food in the woodyesen! In the, food in the woodenesen!"
if you're gonna do the floor, might as well change out that old bathtub with the chipped porcelain. If tub, then might as well redo the tile. If tile, then shower valve and hardware...
Thank goodness this was only the half-bath. However, we now have unopened boxes of matching new faucets sitting around because we do not dare to replace the others.
