Friday Family-Friendly Find: Julien SocialCorner Sink & Newport Brass Taft Pull-Down Faucet

This is a very special edition of #FFFFind! This week’s finds are products that were recently incorporated in “The Morning Kitchen” that Dianne Aucello (Edesia Kitchen & Bath Studio) and I created for the Junior League of Boston 2017 Designer Show House, which just closed a couple of weeks ago. If you weren’t able to visit, I’ll be giving you a ‘tour’ of sorts over the next week, as I express gratitude for the generosity of our sponsors, donors, and trades who made it all possible! What better time of year to do it?

I thought a couple of these would be great to feature today (Friday!), as they would be excellent components of a family-friendly kitchen. Two finds for the price of none! 😉

The Julien SocialCorner Sink is the invention of kitchen designer and innovator extraordinaire, Matthew Quinn. It is a stainless steel undermount sink that sits at the corner of a kitchen island.

There are two major benefits to this. One is that you create a large expanse of uninterrupted counter space, even on a smaller island. And the other is that two people can easily work at the sink together, and not get in each other’s way at all.

This is great for a two-chef kitchen, but also a great way to involve kids in the prep and cooking process! In The Morning Kitchen, we used it more as a space saver than anything else, but that’s the great thing about the SocialCorner Sink – it is so versatile, and has major benefits in both more compact, efficient kitchens, as well as in expansive and elaborate chef’s kitchens. Plus, it looks really cool and adds a sleek, modern element to a kitchen.

Next up, we have the Taft Pull-Down Kitchen Faucet. I almost always recommend pull-down faucets to clients, at least at the main, workhorse sink – I think it’s just much more convenient than a side spray and having to operate two different components.

The Taft is a relatively new introduction from Newport Brass. I love its transitional lines – it was perfect in our kitchen with many historic elements and references, but would work equally well in a more modern home. And I really love that the pull down element is not bulbous or unsightly – it looks almost like it might not even be a pulldown! Good camouflage :). So many finish options are offered; I selected Antique Nickel and it is gorgeous!

 

I would also like to thank Designer Bath for providing these beautiful and innovative products for our show house space, and for all of their assistance and encouragement along the way.

You’ll be hearing from me a little more frequently than usual over the next week, as I feature our show house partners, for whom I am so thankful, and some more images from our kitchen. Happy Friday, all!
