Man, I agree. I want that old sink! Please tell me it was donated! (and where?)

I love it! It's unique and updated but not overdone.


Before & After Kitchen Remodel: Keeping the Best of the Past

I definitely agree that we should be conscious about what we wear, how much we cycle through and where it goes when we’re done. I’ve lived overseas and seen an entire industry emerge around discarded American clothing. There are both positives and negatives to the practice, but it is a reality and it was a source of income for a lot of people. I will continue to donate (and shop at) the Salvation Army and Goodwill because they use the money on job training and creating jobs. I really like the other options for donating that people brought up too, thanks.

I have a mini computer and maybe I'm slow or my computer is different but one color had to be on the next row down and I matched it with the left color. I was surprised to have a 91. So I did it again making the bottom color match the right side and got a 7. Maybe someone surprised by their high score mixed up the second row like I did?

I love the warm colors! I used to live in Central America, and I miss all of the lovely colors people used. Your garden is delightful, thanks for sharing.

There are a lot of trends and designs I don't prefer, but I am fine with different tastes. What feels like an allergy (and I really don't know why) is overhead lighting. My body immediately feels uncomfortable. Just a couple of cheap lamps will cure the feeling. My best friend has the opposite "allergy" and turns on all of the overhead lights that came with my house when she enters a room. I have now taken out all of my overhead lightbulbs. We both laugh about it, but cringe in each other's homes.

I love these ideas! I lived in a house that was once a church in Nicaragua and loved it. There's a lovely church for sale I've been eyeing here on the west side of Cleveland...

Outdoor Inspiration: Salvaged Window Greenhouse

I just bought a home with a huge gravel driveway of medium sized river rocks and pea gravel next to the garage. It took up half of the garden space, so I've been digging it up. It was extremely messy, weeds came through it, and the basement started to leak where the gravel touched because there were no plants to suck up extra rainwater. I wish I could go outside barefoot. I don't recommend gravel here in Ohio.

I also like number 4. Buttery yellow and vintage-looking appliances look so quaint. Love that sink too by the way.

If you have a Habitat ReStore near you, you can find a ton of cool vintage sinks like this donated from renovation projects. They always have tons of cool sinks. ReStore is run on donations and the money funds Habitat for Humanity. You may not find that exact sink, but there may be something else similarly awesome.

Here's the directory by state:
