Thank You Delta!

A little while ago, via the Canadian Design Blogger Meetup, I entered a Delta faucet giveaway and guess what? I won! Big time!

As the winner of this giveaway, I got to create and send off my faucet wish list to the generous folks at Delta so that they could make my faucet dreams come true!

As I’m currently in a rental, I was not about to install new faucets so I gifted the giveaway to my parents. They have more bathrooms and kitchens than a retired couple would ever need but one kitchen and one bathroom in particular are currently in need of a major overhaul and these faucets are going to be put to perfect use.

So how did I compile the faucet wish list? Well, my parents and I each completed the Delta Find Your Perfect Faucet online survey and, not surprisingly, we ended up with the same results.

For one of the second floor bathrooms, we chose the In2ition two-in-one showerhead…so cool! My dad has already installed it and it’s working out beautifully.

For the main floor powder room, we chose the Vero single handle centerset lavatory faucet. It’s one hunk of shiny chrome goodness!

For the kitchen, we all agreed that the Trinsic in the arctic stainless finish was the perfect choice. We got the matching soap dispenser too. I never thought I’d be so crazy about faucets but I just love the simplicity and strength of this one.

See what I mean? This was a BIG win!

When my parents do eventually do their big reno, I’ll be sure to take photos. And if they don’t do it – I’ll be donating these beauties. You heard it here, folks!

Many thanks to Farah at Delta and Beth at Cohn & Wolfe for arranging this win. Thanks again to Vitania and Daniella for organizing a fab blogger meetup.
