Too much Christmas food makes your brain really thick. Mine is like pea soup today. And that - of all days - is when I have to finalise my kitchen spec. Now, to kitchen sinks. We are considering a 1.5 bowl sink - either in stainless steel or in Fragranite (or similar). Intended for quite heavy daily use (DH is a keen chef) by a family who stubbornly refuse to be slaves to daily uber-cleaning. We'll have a water softener, if it matters. Can you share your pet hate (or love) re your sinks, please? 1) What is your sink made of? 2) Inset or undermount? 3) Do you like it? Thank you and Merry Christmas.

I have mentioned this book in other blogs...The sensual Home by Ilse Crawford...a former Editor of Elle Decoration, arguably the best regular Interior mags on the UK market. I found the Continental issues even more interesting! When I recommended the book a while back it was available on ABEbooks for about £2.50 + P+P, sadly since she's been involved in a Stateside TV show, it changes hands for at least £65 ( Time for a reprint it seems to me), it's a very useful guide to following your senses for design inspiration, but surely not £65 of advice! I guess being a former editor of a design magazine she had access to copious images to suit her subject matter...it's a lovely coffee table book. Look out for a secondhand one or perhaps a reprint or library copy. Chapter headings include Liberate your senses Harmony, balance and quiet Comfort, Texture Sixth Sense Light and Shade Sustenance and Love to name a few. I don'tknow this Lady, but I just love the way the book is assembled: it's inspiring, and a useful form of design check list, without being full of fashion for its own sake. Perhaps she'll give a good review of my book!
