Blanco stainless steel sinks, anyone?
Comments (2)Thanks drachiele. My DH insists that he wants a second "rinse" sink so our compromise has been the smallest rinse sink I could find...I think the main bowl is large enough that it will be fine as it is significantly larger than traditional double sinks. I never knew the faucet could make the difference between noisy and not-noisy when water hits the sink. That's interesting. I went ahead and ordered the ss sinks from Home and Stone and now I'm keeping my fingers crossed that we'll be happy with them and not incur a big restocking fee!...See MoreStainless Steel Sinks - other than Kohler, Sterling and Elkay
Comments (21)I'd like to add a rather shocking discovery for us just last night and a word of caution: DH was simplifying the plumbing under our sink (to make way for a trash pullout), and we found our much deeper sink lowered our reinstalled garbage disposal by 4-5" -- resulting in the disposal's drain outlet being positioned lower than our main, outgoing drainage pipe. Not good! I immediately googled and found this is a frequently unanticipated problem due to the trend towards deeper sinks. Even the most compact disposal unit on the market won't fit our needs, and our only option would be to cut into new cabinets and wall, and lower the main drain pipe...not going to happen. We're fine without a disposal, and it leaves us more space in the cabinet....See MoreStainless Kohler Vault apron Vs Elkay composite drop in
Comments (7)Of the samples I have, Jubilee, Chestnut, and Silvermist are the Luxe. Chestnut or Silvermist would probably be the safer choices. Jubilee I got b/c I'm hanging up blue and white Mors Dag plates on one of the kitchen walls. It might be too crazy a choice, but it seems fun, and I do like blue. Tho, maybe a blue apron sink in the light blue cabinets would be odd? https://www.google.com/search?q=mors+dag+plates&rlz=1CABJUN_enUS812&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiVw5acy8vpAhXTX80KHa8ZB0UQ_AUoAXoECAwQAw&biw=1366&bih=609&safe=active&ssui=on...See MoreKohler Stainless Steel Farmhouse sink and counter edge question
Comments (12)Joseph Corlett, LLC- Thank you for the picture. I don't like under-mount sinks at all - there's something germ-catching to me about that underside where the sink hangs - had one in a house I finally sold and I never, ever liked it. I'm re-thinking the drop-front sink and may get a drop-in sink, same sink but without the apron front. I'll definitely have a cutting board that fits over the sink. Kohler used have made-to-fit cutting boards for just about every one of their sinks so it had a little edge underneath that allowed you to slide the sink from one end to the other. I need to investigate something like that....See MoreTJ
