Try a Copper Sink for a Warm Glow in the Kitchen
Bring polish and patina to your kitchen with a sink done in endlessly interesting copper
For a fast, easy and dramatic makeover, consider replacing your kitchen sink for a copper one. Hand formed, a copper sink will add character with its color, shape and ever-changing patina. It's known for its sanitary benefits (bacteria can survive on copper only for a matter of hours), and plain old hot, soapy water cleans it best. Copper is constantly changing color and developing interest and variation over time, but you can slow down this process with automobile wax treatments a few times a year. Whether your kitchen is rustic, traditional or eclectic, a copper sink will work beautifully and will certainly act as a conversation piece.
