Apron/Farmhouse Sink- worth it?
Comments (28)The idea of a double sink, I think, is that each side can be used for different tasks. Wash dishes in one, wash veggies in the other. Defrost meat in one, soak pots in the other. Etc. However, for me this is like saying two hands are better than one, because you can use one hand to rub your belly and the other to pat your head. It just isn't a common ''use case'', you see. In my so-called-life, a double sink always gets used as follows. Dirty dishes are piled in one side, and everything else gets done in the other. So, at the end of the day, it's like having a single sink plus a pile of dirty dishes. Now, dirty dishes are a fact of life, so maybe it's not the worst thing for them to have a snug, welcoming home. But I find that extending hospitality to detritus comes at a price, which is that the side of the sink that actually gets used is Just Too Small. Which is, too small to soak the half sheet pan that got black goober scorched all over it. Too small to wash two stockpots at once. Too small to bathe the new puppy. I would far prefer one Great Big Sink. You can always put a square plastic tub in it, should you ever really need a multi-chambered vessel. Better yet, a Great Big Sink and a Useful Little Sink somewhere else. Even better, my fantasy of a stainless steel darkroom sink, six feet long and two feet wide and only six inches deep, an endless counter that can be flooded with water and hosed down as needed. Add a deep end and a diving board, and Olympic Barbie has her swimming pool. On a perhaps more practical note, my friend has a sink I covet. It is a slab-built slate farmhouse sink extending all the way to the wall, with wall-mount faucet. Without taking up much counter width, it can swallow a half sheet pan with room to spare. Compared to a ''standard'' sink, she loses only the ledge of counter between sink and backsplash, which has to be the least useful part of a kitchen counter....See MoreHow should farmhouse sink meet mitered edge countertop?
Comments (22)Thanks Joseph! I see now. If they miter around the sink cut out, and drop the sink lower, it should look like it does in your picture...which looks really good. Should I ask them to keep the mitered drop to 1 inch on my 2cm quartzite, so it wont look a little too high? Does this look like 1.5" in the picture? Thanks so much for your time and help....See MoreFlush Mount apron/farmhouse sink?
Comments (9)I don't have pics handy at the moment, but in my last house we had a 33" copper apront-front farmhouse sink. We also have a slightly smaller copper apron-front farmhouse sink in the temp house we're living in now (we are currently building). Both of the aforementioned sinks are flush mount installation. I personally like the look better than an undermount installation, and it really sets off the sink nicely. I will say that wiping crumbs into the sink is not as easy or as tidy. Taking all this into account, I am doing the same installation in our new house. I just think it looks so purty. Hope that helps a bit....See MoreFarmhouse Sink and Marble Countertops
Comments (17)No issue with marble and a farmhouse sink that I can think of. I have been a kitchen designer since the late 70's. I have done several kitchens with marble tops and farmhouse apron sinks. This is the only photo I could find that I believe might be marble.
