Lustworthy

I've searched and searched but I can't find a sink like the one above over here. Must be a very American thing. If anyone knows where I can nab one let me know! The US seem to have a lot of things I lust over - mainly retro fridges, cookers and sinks - oh and Reeces peanut butter cups are pretty god damn good!

Door Score!
Managed to score these doors off ebay for the entrance between the kitchen and dining room. Now I just have to figure out how to get them from Yorkshire 300 miles away!

Original Features
F spotted this house for sale near us. Of course we're not in the market for another and this was a bit out of our budget but just check out all the original features. Just imagine, all you'd need to do was pull up the carpet, pull down the curtains, paint everything and maybe replace the tiles round the fireplace and it would be drop dead gorgeous. Despite the fact that I'm only dreaming I can still nick the door design- Coming soon to a kitchen near me.

'Determine the gallery level. There are slight disagreements over what gallery level is. Many experts say it is the eye level of the average person (the average person is 5'7"). This rule was made when the height of the average person was slightly shorter. As a result, a rule of thumb is to go by the eye level as determined by the height of the property owner or gallery owner. When you hang the painting, the focal point should be at gallery level. If the painting is off balance to the right or left, the focal point can be moved slightly to the right or left to make up the difference.
To find your focal point... The focal point of the painting can usually be found dead center. I say usually because the measurement is taken vertically only. The focal point is where the artist intended your eye to be drawn to first. To determine the focal point, use a tape measure to calculate the distance from the top of the frame to the bottom of the frame. Next, divide that number by two. Re-measure the second number from the top of the frame down again and the area directly around that point is your focal point. If you have a conglomeration of paintings, the focal point is in the center of that group.'
