It's here!
I am so excited!
Our farmhouse sink has been delivered and is awaiting the cabinet guy to build the custom cabinet required for it's installation!

I have been told we are now about 3 months away from having our kitchen...usable!
Woo Who!

We have made the final decisions about inserts and dish drawer sizes...
Counter tops and hardware.
I was even able to find a faucet that I loved...finally!

I have been looking at faucets for more than a year and since we have bridge faucets in the upstairs bath...

And in laundry room of our home...

I knew I didn't want another one in the kitchen...
However,
That
Was
All
That
I
Knew.

So, after searching high and low...I found a vintage inspired, single lever style that spoke to me.
Honestly, The things I think about!
But in truth, I am always washing my hands or the counter.
9 times out of 10..
My hands are goopy when I reach for my kitchen faucet and I didn't want to reach for two handles...just one!

I do love it and look forward to getting to use both my new sink and faucet!
I have always wanted a farmhouse sink...they are just so...nostalgic to me!
I only wish I had had one when the kids were young!
Oh well, one day, there will be grand kids!

Today, I am making a few minor changes in my studio's new office and I will share them with you...
Tuesday!
See you then!

Donna, I understand the work that goes into deciding on faucets etc for kitchens and bathrooms, we just almost finished our master bath (its small) and what work it is....
Your sink is going to be wonderful! I wanted one, but it requires a special cabinet and a good craftsman to make it work....oh you lucky!
Single handle for the kitchen is the way to go....

I live in a house built in 60's and have never seen a faucet like in that bathroom , it is so country cute .

What a beautiful sink, and the faucet is perfect for it.

I love your other sinks and faucets too.

Donna, that's a gorgeous sink! I can't wait to see it finished. And of course I've loved your upstaris bath and laundry room ever since you shared the photos here.

How exciting & beautiful! It seemed much faster to build our cottage than make the decisions on appliances, hardware etc. :)
Wishing you a happy Monday, Donna!

PrimaDonna...I just want to crawl into that sink and soak! Gorgeous.
I've wondered about those faucets that turn on with a wave of the hand and if the wind could turn them on accidently! Love your choice and yes...I agonize over the small details too. It's those details that make a house a home and you're the queen of deets!

How exciting to have your kitchen coming together. Your sink and faucet are beautiful. You will be very happy with them as you can even turn on or off a single lever with your wrist or elbow if need be. :o) True dedication you have...
