farmhouse sink- √

As I mentioned in a post the other month, I have been completely craving a farmhouse sink! AND that craving is now fulfilled! With dollar signs being the driving force behind every decision we make (me being a stay at home mom, my husband being a numbers guy for a living, having a little one, another little one on the way, and the fact that I love me a great bargain) I knew that the price tags I was finding were not going to cut it. Thankfully, IKEA has their own version of a farmhouse sink with the price I could afford. They have both a double bowl and a single bowl, and due to the size of my petite kitchen I went with the single bowl. We have had the sink installed for 2 weeks and I am enjoying every dish I have to wash in it! It is perfect! It not only looks amazing, but functions great too! I am thrilled with this purchase and love the way it fits perfectly in our new kitchen. Oh and the cost of this sink was $180 :)

❤ Barn Doors ❤

I feel like barn doors are all the craze right now, at least on pinterest anyhow...and I have to say that I LOVE everything about them! The rustic country charm they show off is ever so appealing to me. If my home could handle these (and my pocketbook), they would be up and ready to show off yesterday! Take a look and decide for yourself just how wonderful they are...

Entryways

So happy! Today we finally got our new front door installed! Now that we can trash our "door tampon" (super ugly styrofoam infomercial gadget that my hubby ordered to help stop the draft come under the old door) I am ready to finish off the entryway. I have been wanting to add some color to our 1960's home for quite some time now, so I figured why not start with the area that gives your home its very first impression, the entryway. When I need inspiration, I go straight to the internet. Who knew it could be so fun to browse entryway pics! Here are just a few that caught my eye...
