sandy34 I don't know where she got hers however I also love these type baskets and I have had wonderful luck and awesome finds for them at Habitat resale stores, and resale shops...they usually have the older and hard to find original items rather than the replicas they have now. Back then things were made to last and boy they do. Now they are cheaper in quality but very high in price. Yard sales and flea markets I have also found useful similar items. You will get to shop and have fun looking at others unwanted things and the thrill of the find is worth it think of it as a one of a kind original because truthfully with the many uses they provide chances are your use will be like no other.

Hi-this kitchen is so great! I was wondering about the sink. . I love the detailing. It looks elegant and comtemporary and different than the usual rounded farmhouse. Thanks! »
Rebekah Zaveloff Thanks! We bought the base from a restaurant supply store for a little over a hundred dollars. The top was vintage off an old table we inherited from some friends and we cut it down to fit. Boos makes tables like this with new butcher block tops.
Hi there!
I absolutely love this kitchen and am using it as inspiration for the kitchen in the 100 year old home that I am renovating. I have looked at hundreds of pictures of kitchens, and I always come back to this one. To me, this kitchen does not only look good in pictures, but will be beautiful and charming in real life with real stuff. :)
Anyway, I am having an open island built from reclaimed heart pine wood. I have limited space and want it to be very functional. I would love to find some wire baskets similar to these for the two shelves of the island. Any idea where I could look for some? I'm coming up empty at the antique shops and on craigslist.
Sincerely,
Amanda »

The stools at this island live on three sides most of the time, but when friends are over for dinner, two are pulled on the cooking side to create more of traditional table set-up.
This kitchen shows a number of things that can be displayed instead of hidden. But what stands out to me are the linens on a shelf in the island. Using wire baskets screams kitchen chic, and that's one more drawer available for storing things that aren't as pretty.
7. An apron-front sink. This is perhaps the single most important element in a farmhouse kitchen. With its broad face, deep bowl and sturdy construction, an apron-front sink stands up to heavy-duty use. You'll find plenty of new ones on the market, but you can also source vintage models from salvage yards and flea markets.
