The Kitchen is one of the most important rooms in the home. Is your kitchen missing that certain something? Here are five creative and interesting upgrades you should consider when renovating your kitchen.

Kohler KarbonFlexible Faucet (Image Credit: Kohler) - With five pivot points the Kohler Karbon faucet can put water precisely where you need it to be and will maintain that position until you move it. It can be traditionally deck mounted or it can be wall-mounted as well. Whichever way you decide to mount the faucet it can be raised up 18 inches. This comes in handy for that one pot that everyone has that is just a pain to fill up. It's just a bit to tall for the faucet and it makes it a chore to clean or fill up. It also comes in several colors to fit your color scheme perfectly.
