Glass Vessel Sink

I have always been fascinated by the clean and versatile look of clear glass. Since I tend to lean toward more traditional and antique furnishings, I don't really employ a modern aesthetic in my home, but I still love the way it looks. Simply stunning, this Crystal Glass Pyramid Sink from Cantrio Koncepts casts a subtle reflection on the vanity below and creates a beautiful focal point in your bathroom. The lavatory sink is made of high-quality tempered glass sink and has a predrilled 1-1/2" center drain.

Everything In the Kitchen Sink

When I dream of making over my kitchen, half of me thinks in terms of country style -- traditional shapes, antique finishes and a nod to yesteryear. But I also love the sleekness of a modern kitchen, with appliances, sinks and faucets in stainless steel and a vivid color on the walls or warm wood cabinetry to create a cohesive blend. Contemporary kitchens allow for more high-tech and state-of-the-art appliances and fixtures, so you can put all the latest and greatest innovations to use. If I were to go modern in my kitchen, this Franke Culinary Work Station Sink would be the first on my list. It is the perfect sink for the avid and busy cook. The sink comes with a tempered glass cutting board, a polished stainless measuring bowl, a colander and food prep bowls. The great thing about this kitchen sink is that it has built-in places for waste, so you don't have to break your slicing and dicing momentum to throw away the excess. It also helps to save time on food preparation, because everything you need is within easy reach. I don't think I'll be remodeling my kitchen this year, but...there's always next year.

Bathroom Update

Updating the bathroom can be hazardous to your wallet, so I tried to figure out the one thing in the bathroom that would have the most impact if I replaced it. I was partial to the vanity, but the sink was just a simple white ceramic vessel, and lacked the wow factor. What color and texture would depict the mood and design I wanted to convey? After a lengthy search, I found exactly what I wanted. This Blue Tempered Glass Sink from DeRose is dramatic, and yet adds a bit of serenity too, with its deep blue color. It gave my bathroom the boost it needed and didn't break the bank.
