Picking a sink for me! Harder than you might think.

A couple of months ago I wrote an article on how to pick a kitchen sink.  I still stand by every word of it and would tell a client exactly the same thing today, but now that I am picking out a new sink for myself it is harder than I remembered!

Here is my dilemma.  My new kitchen is much more contemporary than any I have personally had before. With my dark cabinets and Everest White Radiance Quartz counters the obvious choice for a sink is a one bowl, zero radius stainless sink.  Okay, I love that look but the bigger question is will I still be happy with my stainless sink 5 years from now? Hmm... I am not sure and Robert says I won't be happy.

 

Then I began to consider my other options.  I currently have a fireclay sink by Rohl, that I LOVE!  It is about 4 years old and looks as good as the day it was put it.  Rohl makes a single bowl sink that is gorgeous but it does come with a price tag that is a little higher than my hoped for budget. On the other hand I do love the fireclay sinks and would never regret that decision.

My one other option that would be a little, okay a lot more budget friendly is a one bowl granite composite sink.  Again, I ask myself "will I be happy in a few years from now?" 

 I just don't know.  I have however decided it is good to put myself back in the shoes of my clients and realize how emotional these decisions can feel.     
 

I will let you know what I decide.  However on the positive side of decision making I ordered my cool Sutton pulls by Jeffery Alexander!  I am feeling very hip!

  

Time to Renovate an Older Home

Life is always changing, sometimes unexpectedly, sometimes intentionally 

If you know Robert and I well, you know we are project people.  We generally have something going on that makes our life more hectic but generally fun and interesting.  Earlier this summer we bought a house that we planned to renovate and flip.  About 6 weeks ago Robert suggested the possibility of us downsizing (always part of a bigger plan for us) and take this house we bought this summer and do an addition on it and move there.  It's only about 5 blocks from our current home. 

After many conversations, some tears and lots of prayer we have decided to do it!  Today our current home officially went on the market.    I thought you HGTV groupies might enjoy seeing the tour.  We have lots to accomplish in the coming months, the major one getting our house sold.  

Though we will miss our beloved neighborhood.  Truly the Boulders has been the best neighborhood we have ever lived in. We enjoy all of our neighbors, no neighborhood drama, and you can't beat the location. However, it is time for us to move on. 

On the other hand I am very happily designing the interior of our new home, which will be much more contemporary.  As we get further along I will begin to post photos.  The new (old) house as it stands now requires a true visionary to see the possibilities!  I would hate to shock any one at this point! You would probably send us letters of condolence and try to convince us we need therapy immediately.  This is the elevation drawing as a teaser. We are headed for a mid century look.  I am going to add a bit of an industrial twist to our decor, especially in our new office.  Excited to go shopping!
