whodathunkit


Some other sorts of things are arriving now for the house. I never would have thought a sink could be beautiful but I think this Belfast one is from Sussex Crafts. I really didn't realize the quality of their work intil I opened the parcel. http://www.sussexcrafts.com/ My photo doesn't show how nice their water taps are. I am really fussy about good hardware!!! The drain pipe and stopper fit perfectly into the hole in the sink too! I won't be using the brackets for the sink since in am going to build a cabinet but they may be useful for something else.

  6. It's a gorgeous sink Catherine. If I'm ever looking for good quality miniature accessories, I'm coming to your blog to find all the good places to shop. :)
    So is it a good feeling to finally finish up a house, or is it a sad feeling? My guess is that it would be a bit of both.

    Christine,

    Not me! lol I do have "metalsmith disease", meaning if it has metal what ever 'it' is... It comes under very close scrutiny. That happens in the 1: 12 and the 1: 1 world too.
