apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

anyone else see things way too big going through that very pretty drain? Disaster waiting to happen - unless your kitchen doesn't get used for anything other than looking good...

I am not usually one to call out designy items as being too overpriced, but I draw the line at an $83 sink drain.

I don't spend enough time staring at my drain to justify that price.

Usually I'm not surprised by high prices because I already identify certain places as being expensive but when I went into this store I was blown away. Wow! They don't hold back. I remember this really cool plate that had a really big rim and lots of little holes in it for hundreds of dollars.

That kitchen strainer isn't very practical though. I wonder, is this company also a design studio? Their store in SF had people working at desks in a little loft area of the store which leads me to believe maybe they are. At least it would help to justify higher prices.

Rose and Radish is also a gallery, and I think a design studio is attached.

i hate dishes. I think they hate me back. so me buying my ungrateful dishes a cute , overpriced drain.....not it the cards.

don't get me wrong. its very pretty. BUT at the end of the day it will be stuck with soggy bok choy and dish washing soap. ACK!

Oops, there go the olive pits, egg shells, grape seeds, engagement ring, etc.....

DIY: if you locate a company that makes kitchen drains, I bet you could talk them into selling you a drain before the holes were punched in it. Then you could drill the holes yourself in your own pattern.
