The One Sink Collection by Blanco

Earlier this week I discussed how homeowners are seeking gourmet touches throughout the kitchen. One fixture used on a daily basis and not to be overlooked is the kitchen sink. Kitchen sinks are essentially workstations and must meet a variety of needs. Finding a sink that allows you to customize your workstation based on your needs is hard to find… well, at least until now. BLANCO, German innovator of kitchen sinks and faucets and sponsor of #BlogTourVegas, recently launched the ONE Collection with three new stainless steel sinks and five innovative accessory kits that combine to form unique customized solutions for cooking, organizing and cleaning. The accessories are really what make this sink special and include a magnetic sink caddy for cleaning tools, a workstation to hold knives and utensils, an ash compound cutting board that fits to the sink and protective custom grids.

If you have a family and are worried about keeping knives out of reach, if you are a foodie and you want a cutting board that lets you clean, cut and save space, if you are living in a small metro space and you don’t have counterspace to both clean and prep – there’s a BLANCO ONE sink and accessories kit just for you. – Tim Maicher, Director of Marketing for BLANCO

Beautiful Laundry Room by Kriste Michelini Interiors

Based here in the San Francisco Bay Area, Kriste Michelini Interiors is know for creating timeless, classic, yet freshly modern spaces. You may recall her chic Writer’s Retreat designed for the San Francisco Decorator Showcase this year.  If you loved it as much as I did, you will absolutely swoon when seeing her latest project. It’s a fresh and airy multipurpose laundry room designed for a family with two young boys. I know, I know. It’s our dream room isn’t it?! I love every inch.

I loved creating this multipurpose laundry room that could serve many functions – a mudroom, gift wrapping center and of course laundry central. My favorite items include a rugged outdoor tile that can stand up to tons of traffic, the vibrant wallpaper at the desk for a pop of color and lastly the gorgeous hanging pendant. It actually makes me want to do laundry! – Kriste Michelini

Empire Patio Covers Giveaway & Discount

protecting_patio_furniture
As I stare at this outdoor pool, I realize I am already longing for summer and warm evenings outside on the patio. During the colder months, patio furniture typically goes unused and needs to be stored in order to protect it from the elements. In many cases however, storage is not an option and  larger pieces such as tables, benches and lounge chairs must be kept outside. Patio furniture covers are a great way to keep your outdoor furniture looking new and lasting for a long time.

Green Cleaning Kit Giveaway from Bon Ami

Although spring cleaning projects are coming to an end, routine cleaning is a year around task. When cleaning my house, I use products that are nontoxic, natural and contain simple ingredients.

Bon Ami is one of those products. I’ve been using Bon Ami’s Powder Cleanser for some time and love the results. So when Bon Ami asked if I would like to try out some of their newer products, I was thrilled.

One of the products I tested was a “cleaning cake.” It was released in a limited edition to celebrate Bon Ami’s 125thanniversary. I love this product! It took grime off our stove that most cleaners couldn’t remove. The cake’s strong but simple formula is not only effective for many of today’s household tasks it’s all natural. While not typically what you’d expect from a “cake,” back when Bon Ami was first created household cleaners came in these little bars and were commonly referred to as cakes.

I would love for you to test it out too and here’s your chance! Bon Ami is giving away a Cleaning Cake along with their Powder Cleanser and All-Purpose Cleanser to one lucky Simplified Bee reader.

Here is how to enter:


• Leave a comment. {provide your email if I don’t have a way to contact you}.
• Extra Entry – become a new follower of Simplified Bee’s Blog, Twitter or Facebook Page.
• Extra Entry – mention this giveaway in a blog post, FB link or tweet, then leave a comment letting me know.
• Please post a separate comment for each extra entry.
• Entry period closes at 9 pm PST on Wednesday, June 15, 2011. The winner will be chosen by Random.org.


Bon Ami is also doing a sweepstakes until June 12th on their Facebook page to win a free spring cleaning for you and a friend of your choosing. www.facebook.com/bonamiclean



Happy cleaning & good luck!
