Mighty Goods Covets

My favorite thing on Mighty Goods today are these Ornamented Metal Lace Drains (via Love it a Lot). Because in tough economic times, gorgeous drains are high priority. Thank god they’re on sale.

    those could be more ridiculously gorgeous,
    but I don’t know how!! i love frivolous “necessities”! i think my husband deserveds one (for not ever expecting ME to do the dishes!)

  • nelking Says:

    As you are watching it all go down the drain….

    Might as well enjoy it!

  • Kelly H Says:

    Seriously? I mean, can we get any more frivolous?! Who BUYS this stuff? My drain is like UCK! And I have a nice updated kitchen…never thought about a decorative drain.

  • latenac Says:

    I don’t mind the idea of pretty drains if they’re useful, however, these don’t perform the basic purpose of a drain, from the website -

    Please note the design cut in the drain will not prevent small debris from passing through.

    Otherwise, they are beautiful.

  • Anna Says:

    I posted these a while back, but the sale price makes them much more tempting.

    Although the lack of actual drainage might be a dealbreaker.

  • Sugared Harpy Says:

    Gorgeous. Now, who will buy one for me?

  • Jessica Says:

    love them!

  • Sandy Says:

    For real, man. If they actually did the job, I’d choose pretty over not any day. But since they don’t, forget it.

  • Elise Says:

    I agree that they are pretty, but if they don’t function (as per website) what is the point? Mighty silly, in my opinion.

  • Sarah @ BecomingSarah.com Says:

    I’ve never thought about drains before, but the left one is quite lovely.

  • darcy Says:

    Its sort of like getting a painting in your toilet bowl, its pretty but you are still going to crap on it.

  • Maggeh Says:

    I think they’re talking about dropping an earring or a ring down, right? Which isn’t a big thing for me, because I don’t remove jewelry over drains. I mean, what are people worried about getting down their drains? Is there something I haven’t considered? Introduce me to new categories of worry, Internet!

  • Elise Says:

    Food debris like potato peelings, you know all the bits left over from washing, peeling or trimming fruits & vegetables over the sink. I was assuming these were drain strainers, like the typical colander/mesh type that usually are attached to the sink. Or am I missing the point and these are purely for drain decoration? If so, I’ll need a much prettier sink…

  • latenac Says:

    Yes food debris or hair if you decided to put them in a tub. I’m always having to empty out our kitchen drain basket. I assumed that’s what these were for. My bathroom sink drain isn’t wide enough for them and really I have no idea how it really could be used in the bathtub unless you have one of those old fashioned bathtubs in which case I think you’re back to the problem of it being too big. So back to kitchen sink. If somehow you never end up with food debris in your kitchen sink basket then this is perfect for you.

  • Maggeh Says:

    Ah! I didn’t even think of them as strainers, I think they’re actual drains you place in the bottom of your sink, replacing the ugly perforated version. So the drain strainer would go over this, I think? But also, I was only considering it for use in our bathroom sink, which is a lovely pedestal number, over which I don’t often peel potatoes.

  • Kathryn Says:

    Wow, these are absolutely adorable. I wouldn’t even have ever thought of cute-ing up my sink drains. Now I might need to.

  • Sara Says:

    That’s on sale? Dang!

  • Anne Says:

    The picture’s not quite complete without some rotting peas, limp pasta and pearl onions stuck in the design, n’est-ce pas?
