As a follow up to our last story on the Quartech kitchen sink, we wanted to highlight other innovative sinks from the Elkay line. Keep in mind that many of the kitchen sinks have different options in the design of the basin. Options include choices such as one compartment versus two, the size of each compartment, and additional accessories like drying racks for dishes. For more information on these sinks, visit the Elkay site: here.

When it comes to patio and outdoor furniture, why not make them part of the surroundings and harmonious with nature. According to designer Richard Schultz "I wanted to design a chair which looked like a shrub pruned to look like a chair". The Topiary Collection does a fine job of adding an organic element to their natural surroundings and features chairs, benches, and tables in muted or vibrant colors. See the rest of the classic and decorative furniture for inside or out back on the patio by Richard Schultz here.

Finding the right kitchen sink is important as what you select you often live with for years. A big question for me is whether or not to have a separator or just one large sink basin to work in. Featured here is the Quartech kitchen sink by Elkay. This product comes in a few design options which let you create the type of sink basin that fits your needs. You can see one example in all black and another with a more Corian type surface. The Quartech surface is a new innovation created by Elkay that is supposed to last a long time much like stainless steel. I do like the avocado countertops and the nice color contrast it creates. Price: $700-$900. Find product: here.

The super sleek Ludwig sideboard from Acerbis International is at home in quite a few places thanks to a wide variety of woods and finishes that give it a distinctly different appearance. In just one simple motion, the large front panel tilts down and retracts slightly, while part of the top rises to reveal the full contents of the sideboard with help from the "Dual-Flap" system. Inside, a double line of recessed lights illuminates the interior of a single and easily accessible large compartment, organized by two thin chrome-plated metal frames, clear glass shelves and drawers. The Acerbic lineage dates back to 1870 and is said to "have contributed to the birth and diffusion of the Italian furniture design" with a constant tension towards innovation and the use of new materials. See the rest of the modern furniture collection from Acerbis International here.
