New Kitchen Drapes

I am in full out nesting mode! I am cleaning, rearranging, organizing, and decorating like a mad woman. (Only another month and a half or so until this baby boy is due to arrive!) Most recently, this has involved switching out the brown cafe curtains that were in my kitchen for the Pottery Barn Rayna Drapes I had in the third floor bedroom. I am LOVING the impact! It is so much lighter and brighter and makes the room look taller. One of those things you look back on and say "why didn't I do this sooner?"

What do you think?

A Kitchen Refresh

A few weeks ago, I decided to take EVERYTHING out of my kitchen and do a deep clean. To  scrub the deep dark corners and know that every surface had been wiped clean was just beyond refreshing! Additionally, seeing the kitchen completely empty, and then putting things back together again was also a lot of fun and helped me eliminate a lot of the clutter on my counters that had just sort of started to accumulate. 

If you haven't done this lately, I highly recommend doing it. It is therapeutic. 

Doesn't it look heavenly? (Now imagine it with a new sink and marble counters! Ahhh!!) 

Sink Shopping

One of my goals for the year is to get new countertops and a new sink in our kitchen! These are the last steps before the kitchen renovation is officially COMPLETE!

I've spent a lot of time thinking about countertops (99% sure we are going to go with marble) but have not put a ton of thought into the sink.

I'm definitely leaning towards a farmhouse sink... Not 100% sure whether I want two bowls or one bowl, or stainless or ceramic. Here are my top contenders at the moment:

Kraus 33" Apron Front Sink in Stainless Steel - $419.95

Kraus 33" 60/40 Double Bowl Apron Front Sink in Stainless Steel - $449.95

Whitehaus 33" White Fluted Farmhouse Sinl - $905

I think I'm leaning towards the stainless steel for two reasons 1) Price! 2) To contrast with all of the white already in the kitchen. But one bowl or two bowl? I've had both and honestly can happily live with either, but would love to know your thoughts and experiences! I like the idea of one bowl for washing babies and puppies, but I like two bowls for soaking dishes on one side and rinsing on the other.

Also, huge thanks to all of you who have migrated to the new site! GREATLY appreciate it!
