The One Thing That Adds So Much Character

Our friend, Tanya, over at Mama of Three Cubs recently renovated her kitchen with one of our Camille all-in-one granite composite sinks paired with a Stainless Steel Zuri single handle pull-down sprayer by Pfister Faucets. She has been so grateful to share all the amazing details in this modern farmhouse kitchen renovation reveal!


Did I mention before how much I love my new sink ? I use it not only for cooking and washing but to give baths to my little guy. Sinkology added so much character to my kitchen . Camille drop-in granite composite sink is perfect size and design . It’s about 33”x 22” x 9”in size . The bowl is perfect to stack lots and lots of dirty dishes and great in fitting two twins for their bubble bath.

We did our kitchen remodel about 8 weeks ago now and I can’t say enough how much my family and I are in love with this sink . Granite sink has clean lines and a perfect smooth matte finish. Camila drop-in granite comes from Sinkology new Journey collection . Journey collection will easily blend with any kitchen look (modern, bold kitchens and transitional kitchens .) Journey sinks balances contemporary designs with beautiful details.

I love the depth of this sink. I’ve been stacking dishes without a problem of them overflowing onto my counter . My kids have been extra excited in helping me wash them too. Isn’t a win/win situation. I think my youngest son is more in love with sinkology though . Every time I turn on the faucet he pulls up a chair thinking its time to wash hands or better yet bath.

Decadent Liége Waffles Recipe

Sweet. Hot. Buttery. Rich. Doughy. Soft. Crunchy. Decadent Liége Waffles

Waffles

Liége waffles are indeed one of life’s great indulgences and they are certainly one of my family’s and mine. I tried my first one during college in Belgium of all places, the birthplace of Liége waffles. I didn’t even think to try to recreate them at home till years later and have been making them since.

Do not confuse them with the typical breakfast-y waffle batter. They are made with buttery-yeasted dough speckled with its trademark Belgium pearl sugar. They are delicious and best eaten hot and plain as a sweet treat, as they need no additional adornment. I personally think it would be a sacrilegious to put anything else on top!

Pearl sugar is an important component for authentic Liége waffles. Due to the compacted structure of the sugar crystals, the pearl sugar won’t completely dissolve inside the waffles. When the waffles are perfectly cooked in the waffle iron, the pearl sugar creates pockets of sweet and crunchy sugar on the inside and a caramelized and glossy sugar coating on the outside. Lars Belgian Pearl Sugar is the most common brand and generally found at most grocery stores or on Amazon.

Waffle time! Pull out your stand mixer fitted with a paddle. They can be made without one but be prepared to give your arm a little workout.

Cabin Kitchen Reveal With Our Sinkology Sink

Our friend Allison at Prvbsthirtyonegirl is renovating a small cabin on a lake. This is the reveal of their small kitchen renovations. Follow along with her blog at Proverbs31girl.com


I can’t believe that this moment is here.  Our little cabin renovations are finally starting to wrap up.  When we first bought this little cabin a year and a half ago, we thought we would just freshen things up, add paint, new lighting, and a few more updates and call it good.  And then we started digging in, and we realized that if we are going to do this cabin justice, it’s going to require a little more work than we thought.  And one of the biggest challenges we had were with the teeny tiny kitchen that it came with.

Tell-All with Yellow Prairie Interiors

What do you get when you combine an Oregon Trail pioneer with a modern-day interior designer? Yellow Prairie Interior Design’s headquarters and the homestead of its founder, Janna Allbritton! Janna and her husband Ryan have created a stunning farmhouse out of an 1890’s Italianette Victorian Home. Their dream was to renovate their home, and when it came to the kitchen, the sink was the shining star. Janna and Ryan knew they wanted a farmhouse sink, and they picked Sinkology’s single-bowl farmhouse style sink to showcase the simple, clean, cozy design they were looking for. The completed project is worth the visit, and we’re thrilled that Janna and Ryan opened their home to us for their home tour and of course we had a few questions for them along the way!

Settle in for a view of their warm and welcoming home and hear the passion and love that Janna and Ryan developed for their house as they transformed it into the farmhouse of their dreams. Janna is one of Sinkology’s favorite farmhouse interior designers (follow her at @YellowPrairieInteriors) and we’re honored that she took the time out of her business—and life!—to answer our questions and share her inspiration for design…and the ups and downs of a home renovation. Trust us—their advice is priceless for any family beginning the process of a renovation.

DIY Tub Tray

Our friend, Megan, over at Life on Shady Lane recently renovated her bathroom with one of our freestanding copper soaking tubs and a new copper bath sink all-in-one kit with Pfister faucet. She has been so grateful to share all the amazing details in this modern farmhouse bathroom renovation reveal!


A DIY tub tray makes your bathroom feel just like a spa, and is perfect for holding all of your bath essentials!

When we finished remodeling our modern farmhouse bathroom [here], I quickly realized that we needed a place to set bath essentials (a towel, candle, wine…duh, a book, etc.). I considered adding some sort of shelf next to the tub, but really didn’t want to detract from the tub’s beauty by putting a shelf directly next to it.

You know those fancy tub trays you always see in spas (or in magazines)? This tub was practically made for that. So we built one ourselves and I looove the way it turned out. Honestly, our bathroom feels just like a spa now! Now if only I could get someone to bring me cucumber water and a warm towel…

Materials Needed

(Click links below to see specific products we used)

  • Wood of your choice – we used a 2×12 common board, cut down to the width of our tub – of course you will want it to hang over the edges just a little bit! If you can’t cut it yourself at home, the hardware store you buy from will cut it for you.
  • Router
  • Mouse sander
  • Sandpaper
  • Polyurethane
  • Wood stain
  • Glaze coat

Everything You Need to Know about the Fireclay Farmhouse Sink 

 After installing our new farmhouse sink a few months ago, I’m spilling all of my thoughts about the pros and cons in this fireclay farmhouse sink review! 

Bradstreet ll Review

If you followed along with our budget kitchen makeover, you know that adding a farmhouse sink to our kitchen was pretty much a dream come true. I’ve been pinning beautiful apron front sinks for years and finally got to have one of my very own!

 Spoiler: it is. It really is! 

 Here’s everything you need to know about fireclay farmhouse sinks!  

We chose the Bradstreet II Fireclay sink from Sinkology. And can I just say – I LOVE this sink. Here’s a few reasons why:
