apron front/farmhouse sink materials
Comments (7)Hi We have had a copper farmhouse sink for a little over a year and we love it! The sink is built like a tank and will most likely outlast everything else in the kitchen. The cleaning of this sink is really easy - just soap and water. Âthat's it with an occassional (maybe once a month) wax to protect the surface. It's the easiest kitchen sink in terms of maintenance that we have ever owned. Besides longevity, one reason we chose this over fireclay was the living finish. We love how our sink has sort of a "personality". It doesn't change much - but it will change somewhat. That is part of the beauty of these sinks. Ânot to mention that they are individually crafted and every one is a bit different. Âand there is just something about the warmth of copper - much more inviting than what we considered the "sterile look" of a white fireclay sink. Although we didn't choose the bow front, I don't think that would be an issue at all. In fact, in the right kitchen, I think they would be stunning. We purchased from Copper Sinks Online (I'll include a link). They were recommended by several folks on this forum at the time and they were certainly outstanding. We had no problem matching a faucet to the finish (Oil Rubber Bronze) and the faucet/sink combo came with a discount. I'm not sure they still have the special going but you might ask. One thing you might check out on their site is the photo gallery. They also had a lot of information there about copper sinks in general. Hope this helps!

Comments (15)I'm not sure I'm really going for a "farmhouse" look, necessarily. I'm just trying keep the remodeled kitchen from looking out of place in our 1870s home. We live in a small village outside of a small city in the Northeast. The kitchen was definitely an addition at some point, not sure when. The existing cabs are from the 1950s. The house is very simple...no fancy moldings or baseboards and it was added on to throughout the years. I doubt it was ever a farmhouse...I guess I'm justing trying to go for a simple, country vibe. I'm probably over-thinking the sink thing. I really like the apron front because I think it's more ergonomic and the stainless for ease of use, so as long as they don't push my cabinet budget up, I think I'm going to go for it. jgopp, The stools were something I just loved, and figure I can take with me. They're definitely not farmhouse. I figure they'll be my "bling" in an otherwise simple kitchen. :) I've had them for 2 years, and even with little girls, they are holding up well....no splinters. I do need to tie in the weathered wood somewhere, so I think I'm going to try to replicate it with the upper shelf I'm planning on one wall. Thanks for all the comments! I'll likely be posting more questions over the next couple of weeks as I try to pin down choices....See MoreAdvice on Farmhouse Apron front double bowl sink.
Comments (31)70/30 and 60/40 are almost worse than 50/50. I dunno... After only having 50/50 my whole life (all 36 years of it, lol), I'm quite impressed by my experimental* 70/30. :-D The disposal is in the smaller section (kind of a pain), but the smaller section is closer to the stove, so it's not too bad. My colander perfectly spans the small section, so when I'm draining pasta, nothing touches the bottom of the sink. Which is really nice. I hand wash very few things, but I don't fill the sink up to do it (soapy sponge and slowly running water do the trick for me). All of that said, my dreams are filled with copper single basin sinks, so that I only have one disposal and one drain to clean. :-) [*experimental -- trying it out in the tract house we just had built, because I wanted to convince the husband that there's more to life than 50/50, and the builder wanted far too much for the single basin upgrade; the ultimate goal is to do single basin in the custom house.]...See MoreTop Mount Farmhouse Apron-front White Sink
