New kitchen Sink. Blanco or Nantucket Sinks brand??
Comments (12)Well after living with my Nantucket for awhile i do have a few other thoughts. The mirror finish scratches like crazy. We are so careful but somehow it has quite a few scratches around the drain already. Also hard water is a big deal. We have to wipe it down completely and if the feet of the rack are not completely dry they will leave water marks that are very hard to remove. It’s a lot of upkeep. We dry it out after dinner and don't use it again until next meal. i find myself pouring out water glasses in the bathroom. It’s really attractive and I especially like the folding rack that sits on the top ledge but do you really want this kind of upkeep in a sink? If you have a softening system it’s probably not an issue....See Morekitchen sink to use as vessel sink
Comments (14)Many who have vessel sinks in any bathroom but a powder room tend to get them replaced with more traditional sinks. Some are large enough, but vessel sinks have the difficulty of not easily being able to wipe water from the counter back into the sink, and smaller ones are difficult to do such simple tasks as shave or brush teeth - so the thought of washing dishes in one seems absurd. Even the bathroom type of vessel sink seems to be waning. If you found one large enough to wash dishes, you have the difficulty of the raised sides which are not convenient for doing dishes, wiping counters or prepping a meal. Kitchen surfaces have to be practical otherwise they will not sell well. Most would not find a type of vessel sink in the kitchen practical. Many other types of kitchen sinks function very well, so consumers will pick the functional sink over one that does not function well. Today, the under mount sink is very popular because it functions better than the older over mounts. The under mount sink allows water / crumbs on the counter to be wiped right into the sink and does away with a potentially gunky, moldy caulk line. I imagine people will want more this type of set up then one which increases the sides of the sink above the counter....See MoreEverything but the kitchen sink. Integrated sinks: Love them or meh?
Comments (42)Gorgeous cedar, waverly6 ! I can also recommend Odie's Oil, which is made and sold from a little business in Florida - you should be able to find it online. It's a waterproof zero-VOC wood finish - hard to explain, but it's amazingly waterproof and not shiny like many others. I've got it on the kitchen floor and NOTHING soaks in, and I'm not very nice to it. His advertising is beyond cheesy, and he's cagey about what's in it while dissing the competition, which imho is unprofessional, but there you go. It's good stuff! We also got a Waterstone faucet from Rachiele, and it's perfect - I don't know how they do it, but it doesn't splash. It's worth putting together what you fancy using the Rachiele website, and then phoning Dino, as he's extremely knowledgeable (was previously a Certified Kitchen Designer) and very helpful, lots of good ideas to get you the best bang for your buck! My sink is on his website, actually - it's the overhead shot with lots going on - dishes drying, flowers, big pile of onions to make soup, and a bottle of wine ;). I'll try sending you a pm about the fb Aga group. :)...See Morekitchen sink - SS drop in, SS apron front, or white farmhouse sink?
Comments (5)Do you have to do a drop in? I would do an undermount, much nicer look. I use Le Creuset and other cast iron all the time, my SS sink came with a grid at the bottom, it's the best!! It really protects the sink from dishes and cookware. I had a farm sink previously and liked that one also, this time I wanted a more contemporary look and opted for a large SS undermount....See MoreBunny
