Pam of the fantabulous Retro Renovation shot me an email the other day announcing her latest venture with Dishmaster faucets. She has launched a sales site called Dishmaster Living where you can purchase your retro faucets.

What is Dishmaster you ask? Well, I’ve never seen anything like it before. It’s not quite a dishwasher yet it’s more than just a faucet. The circa 1948 faucet has a rotating brush on the hose and the contraption releases suds, so it makes dishwashing fun and easy! Ok, not as easy as sticking it in a modern dishwasher, but more fun than doing dishes by hand.

But wait! There’s more! The Dishmaster conserves water and detergent by dispersing only what is needed.

I wonder if one of these would work in my mother in law’s house. She’s in the “old country” (Ireland) and still fills a 20 year old disgusting plastic bin with soapy water, swishes a brush around, then dries the dishes with a towel. No rinsing! She hates when I do the dishes because I insist on rinsing and then I splash water all around the kitchen. So….perfect for her. Or rather, for me when I visit.

First the faucet. Next, I work on her installing a heating system.
