Hi everyone -- I'm so sorry, I let this thread get away from me after asking for a clarification! I really appreciate all the pictures of your granite sinks. I am still strongly leaning toward warmfridge's anthracite cascade sink. I don't really know why I'm so taken with the sink but it seems to be some weird emotional thing... I can just tell that's the sink I will end up buying though I can't really justify it at all; it just seems like what a sink should be to me. It's a darn good thing those who have it seem to like it, though I doubt I'd like it so much if I'd been reading negative reports. Thanks for the context-pictures.

Thanks for the tip. Yes, I will be having a disposal; I didn't know I would need a different type. I am trying to avoid buying one, having to return it because it isn't compatible, etc. I will make sure that whatever drain I get says something about disposal-ready, I guess...

We live in N.J. and did the bulk of our remodel last summer, but it was a full year to get to the point weÂre currently at. We were without a stove for 10 months, and without a sink for 8 months. We took out a wall to create one large space-$0 The electric in this wall was moved to an adjoining wall-$0 Laid cypress wide plank flooring-approx $300 Cherry cabs, Medallion, cherry-$4100 GE Café dual fuel-$1700 Kobe hood-$700 Tikor sink-$150 Kohler Simplice faucet-$130 Island (a repurposed 2 piece hutch)-$300 I am very proud of this! ï Custom cherry island top-$800 We installed this ourselves. Cable lights above island and under cab lights-$240 Fridge bought 3 years ago as a scratch and dent-$900 Dishwasher bought new 4 years ago-$0 A very generous gift! Granite counter-$2200 Our remodel took so long because we did all of the work except for running the LP line(stove), installing the granite, and making the cherry island top. The backsplash and a custom pantry unit (to be built next to fridge) are currently on hold as DH lost his job wayyyyy back in Sept.(right after we had paid for our remodel!) I love, love, love this post, but it takes me an excruciatingly long time to load it as my internet is dial up.Ugh! Good luck to all of you embarking on or in the middle of your remodels! May your dollar go far!

I think this is used instead of the regular strainer in the sink. I am considering one of these as it is deeper and will hopefully collect the sink debris to throw into the compost pail. Here is a link that might be useful: Blanco Basket strainer
