In the grand scheme of kitchen design, the sink faucet seems like a blip on the radar. But as pro renovators Cathy and Garrett Poshusta recently learned, the minor detail can be the difference between ample countertop surface and very little prep space. The couple, who document their home improvements on their blog, The Grit and Polish, recently transformed the laundry room in their Washington State farmhouse into a butler’s pantry.
