Sink into your sink

Today I want to introduce you to some of the more interesting sinks I have found.  These are not your standard vessel, under mount, or self rimming sinks.  The ones below have a personality all their own.

This Shell Sink is by High Tech and was designed based on a shell print that the company found on the beach next to their building.   This is such a great way to add a little bit of interest to a guest bath.  I also think it would be fun in a kids bathroom because they would likely love to watch the water spiral down the sink.




This Sink by Lago looks like the sink is literally peeled up off the wall.  This would absolutely make a statement and cause guests to take a second look to make sure they weren't imagining it.  This sink is best suited in a contemporary bathroom where it can take center stage and shine.

Curved Mosaic Tile Bathroom Sink by Lago

This modern sink is showcased on Interior Complex.  This expands the shell idea from the top and travels down the entire wall to the drain in the floor.  Personally, I don't think I could handle the idea that my sink was going to drip on the floor on purpose.  That being said I DO love it for someone who is bold and brave. The bright white of this sink is a perfect balance to the fire engine red subway tiles.



This sink is designed by Philip Watts.  This pedestal sink has gone on an extreme diet and I love that about it. The very sleek base opens gracefully into the large sink area that refuses to let the user mar its elegance in any way.  This means that you would have to store your toothbrush and soap somewhere else because there is no counter on this one.




This  Ebb Bathroom design has many different layouts but I loved how in this set  up the sink and tub mirrored each other.  My favorite part however was the clear fronts that made the sink cooler and the tub a little more risky.



Here is another layout from the Ebb Bathroom.

Kitchen Art



A cool trend these days is large letter art in the kitchen.  I think using these letter in a bold colors like red or blue.  It is also really chic if it is done in a glossy black paint.  
For words consider "EAT", "FAMILY" "LAUGHTER", "HOME"
