Materials: varde counter, boholmen kitchen sink, atlant strainer, edsvik kitchen faucet Description: When we were designing our first kitchen, I wanted to avoid chipboard as much as possible and have something sturdy. That’s why we decided to chose Varde kitchen. On the other hand our kitchen room wasn’t too big, so we had to save the place. That’s why we replaced one drawer in Varde counter with kitchen sink.
