Ornamented Metal Lace Drain at Rose and Radish

We'll be the first to admit that we hate doing dishes. But maybe if we had one of these ornamental drains we would change our minds?

From Rose and Radish: "Made out of hand-forced and laser-cut stainless steel, The Ornamented Life has created this otherwise utilitarian metal drain with a lace print bringing beauty into the kitchen or bathroom."

$100 and available here.

just as silly, overpriced, and impractical as it was the last three times it was posted on at!

I try not to be a whiner, but this is the third time that an AT site has blogged this pretty but useless (the holes are too big to strain anything) and ludicrously overpriced tchotchke.

I suppose I'll be the third person to tell you this is your third time posting this. I actually thought these were an interesting idea the first time I saw them, but I can't understand why they chose these "images". They look like nothing in particular, and do defeat their functionality.

I agree - I love this site, but this makes me wonder, Have we entered re-run season? Or, more troubling, is there a special deal with the vendor?

I can just see all the spaghetti noodles and other random stuff you would run down the diposal caught up in those things...I'm thinking doing the dishes would be worse.

$100??? Heck no. You can get a regular and more effective one at the dollar store.

$100 is absolutely ridiculous, and I sense that a LOT of stuff would go down the hole and clog the drain. What a waste of money!

Something tells me the vendor may have an overstock.

Since it doesn't have the functionality of a strainer (I think it is just a drain) I am wondering if it can be repurposed - Hmmm - a challenge for AT readers?

What a bummer. I was really starting to adore this site (I suppose I still do), but the obvious product placement is disconcerting? What else has been inconspicuously promoted as great design, when it's in fact an impractical, useless item at a highly inflated price exchanged for advertising profit?

I agree that the holes are too big for this to be functional. I mean good grief!...its a dish drain!...who cares what it looks like!

Maybe AT's bloggers don't bother to read AT themselves?

I agree with all comments. Too expensive, the holes are too big and who sees this anyway. Unreal.

AT Bloggers? Maybe you should take a peek at the site you blog for every now and again. I can't believe we keep getting re-runs of the same stuff. Either be more original or maybe AT should get rid of all these superfluous bloggers.
