Nice pics! I also put a washing machine drum as pendant light in my laundry room. You can see it in my blog:

I´m tall as Aurra and vessel sink (we´ve got two in our master bedroom) is not only practical, but also looks great. Ours are brass, and really easy to clean. Water doesn´t splash. I don´t understand why someone says that they look stupid, the vessel sink is different, is another option, and that´s all.

Hello Sarah,
I´ve put glass in my kitchen, there are two big pieces. They finish approximately 90 cms from the countertop. In my blog there are two images of it:

It´s easy to clean and has a vinyl in the rear, so you don´t see the wall but the plain suface of the white vinyl.
I hope I´ve explained myself well

Nice kitchen! I also did a play kitchen using two Ikea Rast tables, and adding a wood box as a cupboard and a splashback in lime green. You can see all the photos in my blog Ministry of Deco, here´s the link:

When I moved, I decided to combine white for the main building and deep grey, with a touch of blue, for the extension. My neighbour saw the sample on the wall and told me it would look like a prison, but it´s a great combination to live next to the sea, as we do.

Look at this, it´s in Valencia, Spain. Known as "the meter", it was this way until 2007, when it was restored and annexed to the building on the right.

Your bath has remembered mine in some way, but with the difference that mine was owned (but no budget to make major changes).
I suggest you to clean a lot, make the joint tiles white and go for color with accessories and/or art.

I´ve also done a low cost headboard. You can see it on my blog: http://ministryofdeco.blogspot.com/2010/01/un-cabecero-mas-barato-imposible.html
I used cork mats and fixed them to the wall with double-sided tape. It´s really cheap and has lots of possibilities. Feel free to comment!

It´s nice to swing on the hammock. We also use it for the cushions. Actually, my baby loves it!
