Bowling Bowl with Tricycle Planter
Comments (19)I bought the Tricycle several years ago at a moving sale. I used to put a flower pot with flowers in it. The flower pot was too small to hold much moisture so the plants never did well. I was trying to find a spot for my bowling ball and realized that this was just the right size.

Comments (13)I had a hard time deciding too. I took a hard look at how I use my sink (currently a double). We have a garden and belong to a CSA, so I soak a lot of veges on the right side while cleanup is on the left. I also like to wash on the left and drain the clean items on the right. I wanted to be able to lay cookie sheets and long pans flat too. I found a sink that satisfied both needs. I'm getting the Franke PRX120. I love this particular sink because it only needs a 39" base cabinet, whereas similarly sized sinks require a 42" base cabinet. Plus it has an integral shelf (optional) that you can rest a grid on that raises up the bottom so you don't have to reach in as far when you don't need to. I can lay flat my biggest cookie sheets and baking pans. It is stainless steel. In the end though go with what you like best, most people have definite preferences one way or the other. Do you know someone with a single bowl that you can try out the way that you'd be using it?...See More36' single bowl vs. 36' double bowl - which is truly most useful?
Comments (14)I haven't installed mine yet, but it is going to be the very large Blanco Silgranit Super Single #511-652 in the Anthracite color. I really wanted a single-bowl sink, which I remembered we had in our house growing up. Somewhere in the 1980's my Mom re-did the kitchen, and that's when we got a double-bowl. And in the various apartments and houses I've lived in since then, they've all come with double-bowl sinks. But in all these years, I've wanted to go back to the single-bowl sink of my childhood. As others have stated, you can soak large pans with still room left in the sink, and there's no divider to get in your way. And I just like the way a rectangular single-bowl looks too, so simple and spare. I was all set to get stainless steel single-bowl sink until this Forum (which is what makes this Forum so great!). I read all the enthusiastic threads about Silgranit, and decided to get that instead of SS. I've always disliked the water marks of SS, and Silgranit won't have that problem. If you do a search on this Forum, you'll see great photos of the Silgranit sinks that people have, and I like the Anthracite, but it also comes in brown, biscuit and white. I've also learned the value of an "offset drain", a phrase which I'd never heard of before this forum. The link below shows the sink I've bought. It fits in a 36" base. It says it's a drop-in, but it can also be installed as an undermount, which is what I am doing.

Comments (38)The faucet and dispenser holes are filled with scraps from the cut-out. This is a job I did last week; removing a failed polyester bowl from a polyester solid surface top and replacing it with a stainless steel sink. No countertops were removed in the process. It isn't that much different with stone, the trick is making sure the footprint of the replacement is identical to or larger than that of the original. I've had budget-conscious clients that didn't care that the negative reveals were off on their replacement sinks in stone. Sink, faucet, soap dispenser, and disposal replacement, plumbing, top refinish and cleanup (ooo..it's messy) just over 3K. That's a Mirabelle sink made in Vietnam. Nice....See More
