everything but the kitchen sink.

While browsing the Ikea website, I also fell in love with this sink. It is called Domsjo, and guess what? I can't find it in their product listings. In the article that features this picture collage, it lists prices for all these sinks. The Ikea on is only $25o, and is pictured top right. The other sinks range from over $800 to as much as $1300. Crazy! Ikea, please get more of these sinks by the time I will need one, in 1-2 years. Thanks.

Lately I'm loving white cabinets. Ikea sells them, and they are very inexpensive, which is good for me. The word on the street is that they are very trendy right now, which may not be so good. Is white timeless or trendy?

I am also contemplating stainless steel counter tops. This was the only picture I could find with a combination of stainless steel and white cabinets. In the article that lists the picture, it says that stainless can get dents, is expensive, and often looks streaky. I didn't think of those things, so I may have to reconsider this option. Thoughts? Opinions?

My friend Emma posted this picture on her blog, and I have to agree with her, it is fabulous! Did you know blue is an appetite suppressing color? I'm thinking that would be good in the dining room. Colors like red are good in the kitchen because they induce energy, which is good for cooking and cleaning up big messes. That being said, I love the blue ceiling. And the white cabinets! The marble (or granite?) counters look great, but I don't know if we can afford something like that.
