Sink, Sank, Sunk...

While on the topic of kitchens, I want to share my love for farmhouse/apron front sinks. My current sink is a standard double sink. Although nice, we would love a large sink to work in. Everytime I do the dishes, water seems to get over place. We have a client that has the mother of all kitchen sinks! I am talking over 3' long, around 18" wide, and a foot deep. Every time we work in their home I just want to climb in the sink and take a photo (but avoid doing so because that would be weird and also unprofessional :) Another reason I love their sink is because she is petite like me, so it the perfect height and the faucets are divine (yes, more than one). Here are some fabulous sinks (sorry if some are repeats).

Fun Size...

Also known as petite, tiny, small, shorty, and little. I am short (5'-1") and I am fine with my height. Although some tasks may take a little more effort at times. Which brings me one of the most genius ideas I have ever seen (and must have one day)...the shelf under the cabinet. Nothing special to some, and some may not even like it, but it me it is wonderful! Yes it makes the upper cabinets higher (I am already going to need a stool anyway), but it provides additional cabinet and countertop space and is perfect for everyday items. I first saw this kitchen in the beloved Cottage Living and then Erika at Urban Grace Interiors showed it off again in all it's glory on Friday. Oh how I love it!

Which brings me to my everyday item I use in the kitchen and around the house, the E-Z Foldz Step Stool (in white & black). To me, it is a must have for all the petite peeps out there that need a leg up (pun intended) or maybe for a few kiddos that may need help as well. I picked mine up at BBB (don't forget the coupon!). And one of the best features, it folds up, saving you additional space! Have a blessed day!

Peek Inside...

I was thrilled to find out that this 'sneak peek' (from Design Sponge) of the home of night owl paper goods, was in my hometown of Birmingham, AL. With a garden like that, abundant windows to let the daylight pour in, and graceful furnishings, what's not to love!

Extra, Extra..

While browsing online today I found this great replica of a mid-century style bench that I think would be perfect for extra storage and seating, from Urban Outfitters (wouldn't have been my first guess).

Some other finds...

Vintage-inspired wire stool

Velvet tufted headboard

Rugs

And this fun guy. Guess where the paper clips are...too funny!

Image of the Day...

Entry.

{I love the doors and trunk in this photo}

I look forward to one day having a side entry. To me it is an important space to be considered and included in a home. Although it is small space, I think it is nice to have a place where you can come in and drop everything (literally)!

Classics Rock...

OK, so they aren't so classic yet. When I started this blog just a mere nine months ago, I knew it would enjoy it, but never thought it would be so fun to connect with so many people around the world. Thank you all for being you! It was hard to choose, but here are some of my favorites from throughout the year.

O' Happy Day...

Today is a big day! It is my sister's birthday.

Happy Birthday Sis!

Wish we could be there to help you blow out your candles!

Love you!
