Need help finding website--very unique sink base (have photo)

16 years ago

I think someone here posted a link to the company that made this sink base. They had very cool furniture made from other furniture parts. Rustic, shabby chic, it was so cool.

I have tried to google based on descriptions of the furniture, but no luck. I don't know the name of the company or the website. Unfortunately the bookmark to the site is on my old (now dead) computer. Does anyone recognize this photo?

THANKS

Susan

when you saved the pic, did you rename? Properties say it is http://i13.tinypic.com/6cqhrnq.jpg and I thought that may have a hint to whom it belongs.

Thanks for sharing that tho, it is beautiful.

Very cool!

Looks easy enough to replicate. The back is a headboard. Cut a sink hole and tile the top surface of a display case, insert sink and you're done. Probably cheaper that way, too!

Good luck finding the source.

kitchen sink not centered with window, issues with 24' sink base?
Q
Comments (9)
hi, i'm kind of wondering whether you've thought about how big a sink you need or want, first. you mentioned that it's a good size kitchen, so maybe you'd want at least a "standard" size of 33". there are a lot more choices, too. single bowl vs. double is a whole other debate! i'm getting a 24" sink, but i have a small kitchen. also two other thoughts: many people seem to center their sinks with regard to where the panes are in the window so they aren't looking right into one. sometimes they even place the sink faucet centered on the window, but off-center from the sink to make it look symmetrical. there are a lot of threads on this subject too. i'll look for the one i'm thinking of with good photos. or you can google "gardenweb kitchen window sink centered", or something like that. the other is the 33" lazy susan. i was considering one of these, but someone mentioned the door is pretty small. if i understand your layout correctly, your corner cabinet is open on the back to a walkway. garenweb member buehl turned a regular cabinet backward to be accessed from the walkway side so you have full access to the cabinet. that's pretty hard for me to explain, so i will link the thread. anyway, it's seems more useful than a corner susan if you can do it. then you will also have 9" extra to distribute to a sink base or the the far drawers. good luck!

Erikanh's SS sink is fully integrated into her SS counter so even though the cab for the sink could be around 12", the sink's interior width is more than that of an under-mount sink in a 12" cab. If you top-mount the sink, you might get a slightly larger sink to work (under-mounting a sink requires a few inches of space that a top-mount installation does not). I understand your goal but I hope you listen to the KD experts here. They know what they are talking about and their advice will help you avoid a costly or dangerous headache. Can you shift the cook top towards the top wall (away from the ovens)? That would put it closer to the main sink, possibly eliminating the need for the prep sink. It would also gain you a bit more working room between ovens and cook top. Instead of having counter and an upper cabinet in that corner by the ovens, have you considered bringing the cabinet all the way to the counter and using it as an appliance garage? That counter won't really be that usable so why not give it to storage? Put the mixer in there and your baking pans, etc and you've got a baking center, right next to the ovens.

Need pics of 30" sink base with disposal and trash pullout!
Q
Comments (19)
Here is my 30 in sink cabinet with farm sink, pullout trash and GD. My clean up sink is shaw 30in in a 30in cabinet. I was really keen to have a trash at each sink location. I used the same trash here and at my prep sink. It is the Rev-a-shelf door mounted stainless steel double bin (Model # 8-785-30-DM2SS). It is not too big and we wanted it that way as we prefer to empty trash frequently. I like stainless as I do not need to use a bag for the mixed recycle. The trash also has a foot pedal from Hafele. The GD is InSinkErator Evolution Pro Compact 3/4 HP Garbage Disposer We ran into a small issue about the GD fitting as my Shaw sink's drain offset was closer to the center than spec. My cabinet maker had put in a divider between the trash and the GD sections. I think this was to reinforce the base for the super heavy shaw sink. We had to notch a small square near the top to fit the wider part of the GD near the top. But it was a super minor mod done on site by the cabinet guys. For sinks where the drain is more offset, it should not be an issue at all.

We pretty much love everthing about the sink. Aside from the looks which we obviously liked and the fact that no one we know has one, it has been pretty much maintenace free. There are certain foods which strip the color off and leave shiny bright copper spots. But within a day the sink starts to patina(darken) and it looks seamless again. And we've poured plenty of hot and boiling water down the drain and it's never been an issue. Copper is also naturally anti-bacterial so that's another added bonus. We also heard some of the warnings about the copper from Mexico. I will say ours is stoutly made and it weighed a ton. I went with one of the ebay sellers who had been around for awhile and looked through alot of feedback. That's about all I can think of to tell you. If you want I have pics of what it looked like before it was used and how it looks now after a year of use with no more upkeep other than soap and water.

Thanks for the advice. I was hoping someone would recognize the company. The website had other photos of furniture that I didn't download to my computer. I have since learned to rename the photo with the website so this doesn't happen again.

I have a rather large porcelain sink with double drainboards (paid $15 for it--woohoo!) that I want to build a base for to use outside near the grill and I really just wanted to "borrow" some of their ideas. As I recall, the furniture was rather pricey, but really unique.

If anyone recoginizes the company, please let know. Or if you know of another source for inspiration for that kind of outdoor sink base, please pass on the names. Best, Susan

This particular website is no longer in use.
I had printed all the potting benches they had posted. I can see if I can scan them and send to you if you would like.

Thanks Saypoint. That certainly does look similar to the above bench and I downloaded those two photos.

Connie--thank you for the information. I thought that as much as I have searched that perhaps they went out ot business or were no longer on the net. That is really a generous offer--if you find time to scan the photos and email to me, I would very much appreciate it!

My email is sspencer(use the at sign)mindspring.com.

Connie,

Thank you so much for taking the time to scan and upload the photos and for solving the mystery. That definitely was the site I got the first photo from. Too bad it's no longer around.

Best,
Susan
