This is mine, but I'm sure you can find a great deal of pictures with these,

Here is mine- kohler undermount cast iron sink with kohler bridge faucet.

Wow, thanks. You both have very pretty sinks and faucets.

La Jan - Could I trouble you for a view of your full sink? I searched Google images but didn't see much. Also, what type of countertop do you have? It's really pretty.

Athomeinva - That's a huge sink and that's the style bridge faucet I was planning. How do you like the Kohler cast iron? How long have you had it? Thanks!

Thanks athomeinva. I read something about the Kohler cast iron being better now than it was before. I meant to ask you which model, size and color cast iron sink do you have? I appreciate you sharing your info and photos, it helps me get an idea what my sink set-up will look like.

The sink and its dimensions are in the link below. I ordered samples of the various colors- some are so pretty!- but stuck with the standard white. I picked this sink because I wanted 2 equal sized bowls and I liked the divide height.

Here is a link that might be useful: kohler anthem sink

I surely don't think it looks odd. I prefer the look!

Bridge faucets are eye candy. Here is my Grohe Bridgeford bridge faucet in ORB with cambrian black granite and anthracit silgranit sink:

Okay, you guys have convinced me. Sticking with my original (although modified 58 times) design.

LoLauren - Very pretty faucet. Nice view too! Is that water I see in the distance on the right (in the first photo)?

Athome - I'm sorry to keep bugging you with questions, but you have both the style sink and the style faucet I want (love your soapstone too). Did you have to do anything special to install the sink, such as added support underneath, because it is so heavy? Did the countertop installer also install your sink (with any added support if needed)? Also, when you said the cast iron takes a little more work, how do you mean? Thanks for letting me bombard you with questions!

Ahh - one more question. What size sink base do you have for the 33" Anthem? I had contacted Kohler about what size I would need for the 33" Cape Dory, because there was a discrepancy on their web site, and didn't receive a very clear answer. Thank you again for all of your help!

No problem! The sink does need support and it was installed by my counter guy. It came with metal brackets but my installer made his own support with wood strips that are screwed into the sides of the cabinet for the sink to rest on. The base cabinet is 36 inches.
Cast iron is more maintenance because it can get scuff marks while stainless doesn't but a quick scrub usually removes any marks. The sink you are looking at is huge and has no divide so you should have a lesser chance of pots hitting against it hard enough to scuff much. I find myself spraying out the sink a little more often since the white shows specks of food more but that is not a bad thing imo.

In the day time, that view is of my dirt desert that I have to landscape ASAP! ha ha :) Although there is a river just below where you mentioned, what looks like water is just the pretty sunset. I can't see the river... oh well :)

I'm glad you are sticking with your original decision. I think it will look lovely.

kitchenkrazed, sorry it took me so long to get this, but here is a better picture of the sink, it is a fireclay Shaw single bowl, and the faucet is a Rohl bridge. I chose fireclay over cast iron because for 25 years I had a Kohler cast iron and found it very hard to keep clean, it stained and scratched. Resorted to using cleanser, which probably only made it worse. This forum helped steer me toward the fireclay and when I saw it, researched it, fell in love with it.

I also put one in the laundry (without the spray).
I used a Kohler cast iron for the prep sink ( for size limitations), but did not use the bridge with it.

Thanks, the countertop is Quartzite Verde lichen. Very durable, no staining or etching, though looks much like marble.

That entire set up is just perfect. Love it!!!!!!!!

I don't want to hi-jack this thread, but la jan, where did you find such a beautiful quartzite??? I have been searching endlessly for something just like that and didn't think it existed!!!

Thank you, kharamarie, I'm in the So. Cal area. I found this at a place in No. Hollywood after searching endlessly. If you are in the area, I can get you more infomation.

la_jen - I don't mean to hijack either... but can I ask you a couple of questions about your faucet choices, basically for your prep sink? I was going to do a similar bridge faucet for my prep sink that didn't have a side spray. I posted a thread on this and everyone seems to say that I will regret not having a side spray at my prep sink... do you have one? What are your thoughts? Also, what size is your prep sink? The Kohler undermount that I am now looking at is about 17.5x17.5. I was going to do a main kitchen faucet, not a bar faucet so the spout reach would be farther meaning I'll have to place the faucet back a little bit... did you do this as well? Also, (and sorry for all the questions!!) what brand are your faucets? Thanks so much - and gorgeous kitchen!!!

Thanks aokat! My faucets are all from the Rohl country kitchen collection. The bridge at the main sink (Shaw fireclay) has the side spray, which I love. The other picture is actually my utility sink (cross handled faucet) in the laundry room which is visible from the kitchen so I went with something similar.
My prep, a Kohler 17.5 X 15.75 and set in sidways due to size limitations, does not have a bridge or side spray. My DH, who is the main cook, prefers this faucet. We had to put the faucet on the right of the sink rather than behind the sink, due the shallow counter there. It works out great and is handy and convenient for the prep use. He does not like having a spray, so we didn't put one there. Honestly, I don't miss it, the sink is smaller and we don't do clean up there and really don't feel the need for it.
The main thing to remember about faucet size, is make sure your faucet reaches the drain. We thought we only needed a 7" throw on the faucet, but ended up exchanging for the deeper 9" because of too much splash.
