Stacey from @farmhousechic4sure has been renovating her home one room at a time. She wasn’t sure what exactly to do with her out-of-date kitchen, so she hit the web for inspiration. Luckily (for both of us), she found Sinkology. We were able to catch up with Stacey after her installation was completed to ask a few questions, and even snap a few photos of her renovated, beautiful, farmhouse kitchen – complete with her Sinkology Adams copper farmhouse sink. (We also got to be a part of her recent laundry room renovation with our new Bradstreet II Fireclay Farmhouse Sink All-In-One Kit you can see on our recent blog post.)
A Bit About Stacey
I’m Stacey, you may know me as @farmhousechic4sure on Instagram. I’m a busy mom of two, a wife, and a full-time home care nurse. I love DIY and all things modern farmhouse style. I’m a huge DIY hobbyist and have multiple projects on my to-do list at any given time. Ask my husband, my mind goes faster then I can keep up with. With two daughters ages 6 and 9, we are constantly on the go, keeping up with school schedules and activities. We live in the beautiful state of Connecticut, where two incomes is a must. That means both my husband and I hold demanding jobs, each working 40-60+ hours per week. This leaves little time for household duties, much less anything else. To me, its important to balance work, family, and leisure time. Oh, and you must sneak some “me” time in there too. That’s a lot of things to pack into 24 hours, just thinking about it has my head spinning. So functionality and low maintenance are high on our priority list when completing any project.
Why did you decide to do a kitchen renovation?
We purchased our home just over 3 years ago. At that time it was nearly 12 years old. What may have seemed functional and stylish when the house was built was not suitable for us and our family. I’m a huge believer in making use of every square inch. Functionality is so important and that was missing from the original kitchen design. So much space was wasted and the look and feel was dark and dated. Character, which is also important to me, was minimal at best. We loved the layout and open floor plan of the main level but knew a kitchen remodel was a must.
Where did you start your search for design ideas / inspiration?
Pinterest. Pinterest. Pinterest. And a little bit of Google. As soon as our offer was in on the house, I started pinning to my kitchen makeover board. Saving everything from “How to make Ugly Cabinets Look Great” to “Hammered Copper Farm Sink Design Ideas.” I took to Google, for what seemed like hours, and scrolled through hundreds of kitchen images. Screen shot-ing more images then I’d care to share and making mental notes of design elements that were a must in our remodel.
Why Copper?
In the beginning stages of planning our kitchen remodel I didn’t know I wanted a copper sink. I knew I wanted a modern farmhouse look with some added warmth. In my search for farmhouse sink ideas, I came across the Adams Farmhouse Copper Sink. It was love at first sight. Maybe more like an obsession. I was mesmerized by how gorgeous the hammered copper design was. Modern farmhouse can, at times, seem a bit sterile with so much white and clean lines. A copper sink added just the right amount of warmth, while still keeping with the modern farmhouse feel I wanted.
