MR Direct is growing again. Our line of beautiful stainless steel sinks now includes the 530L, which will be replacing the 528L. As one of the smaller stainless steel offerings, it is specially designed to fill the need for an offset, double-bowl sink when faced with limited space.

Measuring 27½" overall, both bowls feature broad curved corners for easy water flow and cleaning. The left bowl is 14" x 16", the right is 10½" x 16", and both flaunt an impressive 7¾" depth with standard 3½" offset drains. As with all MR Direct stainless steel sinks, the 530L is constructed of premium 304-grade, cold-rolled steel and is formed with the industry's standard 18-gauge thickness.

The 530L's visible exterior surface has a brushed-satin finish which not only adds to its beauty, but helps hide minor scratches which could occur over time. It's hidden underside has sound dampening pads to reduce noise and a barrier coating to prevent condensation. All these features make the 530L a premier new member of the MR Direct line of stainless steel sinks.

MR Direct's stone vessel sink collection boasts sixteen beautiful models. Choices can be made from polished granite, marble, sandstone, or onyx. The newest addition to this line is the stunning 850-Tan granite model.

In response to numerous requests for a granite bowl in a lighter, off-white tone, the MR Direct design team went on the hunt and discovered this new, exciting option. A variegated pattern of pastels that hint of coral, olive, salmon and cream tones blend together to create an extraordinarily pleasing, tan appearance.

This newest vessel is designed to be paired with its matching stone-disc, waterfall faucet. The stunning combination allows water to cascade from the tall spout, over the granite plate, and into the stone bowl. The metal components of the faucet are available in one of three attractive MR Direct finishes: chrome, brushed nickel, or oil-rubbed bronze.

With its matching faucet or any vessel-style spout, this new 850-Tan vessel sink is certain to make a solid artistic statement in your bathroom.

With a bit of planning and a few do-it-yourself hours, you can make your bathroom not only kid-friendly, but also kid-inviting. MR Direct knows that good hygiene practices start early in life, so we are offering a few creative suggestions to turn the room into one that is more enticing for the kids to use.

The key is to make it fun! This might revolve around a particular theme such as a cartoon character, animal, or setting. Accessories to fit the theme are usually readily available, such as shower curtains, toothbrushes, soap dispensers, window coverings, towels, etc. Whether theme-related or not, consider out-of-the-ordinary bold shapes and colors for the rugs, wallpaper patterns or light fixtures. Even some glass vessel sinks feature a spectacular color array that is fun for adults as well as the youngsters.

On a practical level, remember that the kids are shorter than you. Provide a decorative stool for them to easily reach the faucet, add an extender to the light switch, and lower one of the towel racks a few inches – filled only with their personal towels.

Finally, and most importantly, keep the little guys safe. Install non-slip bathmats and rugs, cap the electrical sockets, and lock cabinets that store dangerous items. Even a few, fun little changes should intrigue the toddlers enough to want to clean up daily.
