Ode to the Farmhouse Sink
My in-laws have this cool little cottage at an old woodsy camp about half an hour outside of Baltimore. The camp started as a summer church camp sometime during the 1800s and has evolved into a kind of odd little town where Baltimore residents have homes away from home (well, cottages anyway).
Unfortunately, we haven't gotten a chance to photograph the interior yet, as my mother-in-law's just finished decorating, but my favorite part of the cottage is the kitchen. The countertops are vintage copper and the sink is an enormous old stone farmhouse sink, reclaimed from, yes, an actual farmhouse.
The look is perfect for the cottage, and has given me a new appreciation for farmhouse sinks everywhere. They work in more environments than you'd guess - they're not just for country kitchens. Like these:

Here's a good question: are above-the-counter sink bowls an outgrowth of farmhouse sinks? This shot makes me wonder.
