As mentioned previously, I am designing our new kitchen myself.
Yikes.
My goal is to make it look as vintage + charming as all get-out.
G.O.’s goals are more storage + maximize the counter space!
Oh, dear. Another conflict of interests seems to have arisen.
Like I didn’t see this coming.
* * * *
But enough about that, for now.
Let’s view what I like, shall we?
I spied this on Facebook just the other day,
so I’m now kind of obsessing!
Country Living magazine
I mean, COME ON!!
That sink is some serious fabulousness, isn’t it?
Stay tuned — I’ll discuss further, in just a moment.
But first:
Let’s have a look-see at my tentative kitchen sketch:
I desire a farmhouse sink.
G.O. might be on board with this.
In fact, we have IKEA’s Domsjo sink in our current kitchen:
A mere $312.98
Here ’tis, in our current kitchen:
There’s too much clutter!
Note to self: EDIT!
That sink looks good, doesn’t it?
Does it look even bettah, now that I’ve shared that it costs a mere $312.98?
I thought so.
I’m sure G.O. thought so, when he saw the price tag!
One might think we’d spring for this again, but sadly, we won’t.
Here’s why:
Those grooves on the back are kind of impossible to clean,
+ we’ve had some chipping issues, too.

So, as is true of most everything, it’s time for a plan B.
This stainless farm sink might be plan B . . .
$399
amazon.com
. . . but it doesn’t really make me as happy as it should.
This does, though:
Yes, we’re back to that pale blue awesomeness.
Check out this Plan B contender:
We already have our very own vintage sink (FREE!)
It’s currently languishing downstairs in our cellar hide-a-way:
I KNOW!! It’s kind of scary, isn’t it?
But, if you can get past the squalor,
it’s really a cool sink, + it’s in good shape, too!
I think there’s a problem with its size, though.
Buzz kill!
The sink comes in at a whopping 66″ long.
Since we’ll have a mere 96″ of counter space for it,
you do the math (I used a calculator!)
There just won’t be a lot of counter space leftover.
G.O. will not be pleased.

But please.
Let’s not discount the fact that it would make me deliriously happy!
Should I go for it?
Stay tuned!
