Donaleen, I love your faucet with the Whitehaven. What a great pair. I chose a Waterstone. I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it but what was a deal clincher was the ability to try it in the show room. I can't speak to how it works as it won't be installed for a week or so. When I was researching sinks I read that some had issues with water splashing in the Whitehaven but I figured any sink could have splashing depending on where the water stream hits the sink. I will update when I have it in use for a bit.

I don't have it yet but I am getting the Kohler Whitehaven 36" single bowl sink. I am getting the one with the shorter apron front, but it still has the 9" depth. I wanted an apron front sink and chose the Whitehaven for the reasons your KD stated. There have been threads on this forum about fireclay sinks and some problems that may occur that the Whitehaven enameled cast iron sink won't have. Mostly, a more difficult installation due to the irregularity of handmade fireclay sinks like the Rohl (the irregularity is also part of the Rohl's charm at the same time!), and reports of crazing over time, particularly around the drain. If you are getting a disposal, a fireclay sink needs an extended flange - not a big deal, but kinda one more thing extra that you won't have to do with the Whitehaven sink. I agree that the Rohl fireclay sinks are gorgeous, but it's such a permanent part of the kitchen, that I didn't want to worry about the risks. Having said that, because the sink is such a permanent part of the kitchen that you will use every day, if you love the fireclay sink, let your KD know, cause you should get what you love. I am linking a thread below about fireclay sinks, plus a nice video from Kohler on the Whitehaven. Regarding your other question about a 2nd sink. My kitchen will not have a 2nd sink, but if it did, I would get a Blanco Silgranit sink as my prep sink. I had a Silgranit sink in my last kitchen and I loved it. The only reason I am not getting it again is because I wanted an apron front sink and Silgranit does not come in apron front. The Silgranit was so easy care, it was amazing. I hated the stainless sinks I've had in the past which scratched, showed water marks and never looked clean. If you get a Silgranit prep sink in white or biscuit (a creamier white), it will go with your main sink. Blanco will mail you color chips if you phone them and ask. Alternatively, you could get a matching enameled cast iron sink as your prep sink.

We are pretty close to ordering the Kohler Whitehaven Hayrdige sink. Any one have any personal feedback in general on Kohler cast irons or on the hayridge in particular?

@Stax, how about an example, instead of just a damning, blanket statement? We renovated our kitchen nearly 4 1/2 years ago. Two plus years after install of a Kohler Artifacts faucet, my DH knocked the spray button off of the head, while cleaning a heavy pot. One phone call, and three days later, a new head was delivered to our door, free of charge. Kohler and Delta, are known to have the best warranties (lifetime for the original owner), and customer service in the business.
