4 Things to Look for When Purchasing a Countertop Sink for Your Home

When it comes to interior design, it’s not just the big pieces that matter. Sure, when everyone enters your home, their eyes would automatically be drawn to big eye-catching designs like big furniture, or an elegant chandelier or perhaps a painting situated at the top of your fireplace, but even the little details matter when it comes to interior design.

When you are following a theme when designing a room, every little thing matters. When constructing or renovating your bathroom, for example, it’s not just the tiles or the bathtub that people will look at but even your sink and fixtures should be given attention.

You might think it’s too tedious to spend time thinking about what kind of sink to buy for your bathroom, but it will be worth it in the end when you see just how put-together and well thought-out your bathroom will look. It’s not only you who will appreciate it but also guests who will come into your home.

If you’re not sure what you need to consider when buying a sink for your bathroom, check out the list below.

1. It must be the right size – compared to the rest of the house, the bathroom is relatively smaller than any other room, so everything must be well thought out, including the size of the sink you are purchasing. You can go for the countertop sink as it is easier to clean and can be a space saver too which is perfect if you cannot allot a big space for your sink.

2. It must complement the design of the room it is in – are you looking for a sink for your guest bath or for the master bath? There are many homeowners who design each room differently, and the bathroom is no exception. Depending on what room you will be buying it for, just make sure that it would fit in with your theme for the room. If you want to make it easy, you can choose neutral colors such as white or black so that it would complement many designs.

3. Choose the right material  - gone are the days when only porcelain is used for sinks. Nowadays, you can choose from sinks made of other materials such as stainless steel, glass or even marble. The good thing is that there are so many designs available in different materials so you will not run out of options for the design you have in mind.

4. Make sure that it is built to last – even if a counter top sink is just a small detail in a bathroom, it will still cost you money. And like anything that would cost you money, you want something that would be durable and last many years. Do your research on what types of material would last many years. Consider the people who will be using the bathroom too. Some materials may be more fragile than others so be sure to consider when scouting for your sink.

Palm Sunday + Weekend Good Finds

Last Sunday was Palm Sunday. It's official started the Lenten Week. Daddy and I went to Church for the first time without our little boy because he still in Nueva Ecija. Though he said during our phone conversation that they will also go to Church and they already have palaspas.

It was super hot. Especially that it's Palm Sunday and ang dami talagang tao. Anyway, after hearing the mas we went to the nearest mall to buy a car for Matthew's Spin Go (Read: Matthew Andrei's Recognition Day 2017). May kwento tungkol sa Spin Go na yan mamaya.

Since it's almost lunch time na, we had our lunch muna at KFC. We ordered this KFC Duo Box 3-pc Combo for Php299.00 only.

Then after that busog much lunch, we went to do our errands. First thing that I bough pala is this Kojiesan Kids Sunblock SPF30 at Php150.00 only.

Of course, it's not only the price that I considered. I always read the label and content for our safety.

While still at the department store, we passed by at kids' clothes section and saw nice white shirts. We picked two shirts for our little boy and saw a pair of shorts on sale. So lucky!

These white statement Justees shirts for kids is only Php149.75 each.

And this pair of Justees shorts is sale at Php250.00 only.

When we're done at the department store, nag-aya naman si Daddy A sa Bench to buy a pair of pants. Initially, sya lang dapat bibili pero napabili na din ako kasi the pants are on sale at Php499.00 each.

I saw this Bench Daily Spell Magic Powder. Bought it Php19.50 only.

We also bought home stuff that we really planned to buy. Like this stainless dish rack that we bought at Ace Hardware.

For me it's a little expensive at Php1974.75. But it's a good investment because it's made of pure stainless not just coated so it will not rust.

By the way, few weeks ago, we bought an aluminum container at Daiso for Php88.00 only. Daddy drilled it on the wall like this.

This bathroom rack is made of aluminum too. It's around Php360 compared to same style na stainless na nasa 1000 pesos na. 

It does not rust too so it's a good buy. Also this soap dish is made of aluminum too and it only cost Php189.75. We bought two pieces.

Finally, muntik pang makalimutan. We bought two cars for Matthew's Spin Go at Php 119.75 each. 

So heto na kwento. We thought the car that comes with the Spin Go is defective. We went to Toy Kingdom to tell the promodiser. Ayaw kasi nya umikot sa loop and kakaslide muntik nang napudpod mga gulong. Nagdemo ulit si promodiser, isang slide lang the car went up the loop. Kaloka isang slide lang pala e. But still we bought two cars para sure. Mahirap ng mapahiya ulit kay Matthew. Haha. Here's Daddy A's  Spin Go: A Mini Stunt Car Unboxing.

That's for now. Let's repent and reflect. Have a Blessed Holy Week everyone.
