One of the latest home decor choices are vessel sinks. They are essentially nothing other than vessels that are put beneath the taps. It is not like a built-in sink. It is essentially nothing like you have seen for centuries – until lately. These sinks could be something that has historically been often considered as vessels – jugs, plates, pottery. They’re ornaments, in and of themselves. Just about the most charming vessel sinks I’ve ever seen was a bowl that was a ideal replica of the old-fashioned bowls that we used to see as antique washing vessels. You probably have observed them in museums, seated along with wash stands.

So what has the recent slump in real estate affected home remodeling trends in Southern California? After 4 years of heady growth, real estate inventory is going up and prices have cooled somewhat.

My husband and I have been living in our home for more than a decade now, and it has to be said many of the rooms are looking a bit worse for wear.
Unfortunately both the kitchen and bathroom seem to have reached the point of no return and it looks like a total revamp is going to be needed.
