My mom has a sink that I love. Two basins with built in drain boards on each side. Enameled cast iron. How can you go wrong? When we bought an tigin 3+ years ago, I knew that I wanted a sink similar to my mom's in the kitchen.
We have been searching for the right sink ever since. We had an opportunity to get our hands on one shortly after we bought the house, but that would have meant storing it until the kitchen was far enough along to install it. Since that was so far in the future, we decided to wait.
Now that the kitchen cabinets are stored in the basement of the house we are living in and we have a vintage gas cook range, (and the sheetrock is done and the kitchen will go in soon) we decided it was time to get the perfect kitchen sink.
The place where we found one 3 years ago, didn't have any. We looked on Craigslist and found two that would have been okay, but then came across this beauty. The only catch....travel to Ashby, Massachusetts to look at it (2 and 1/2 hours one way). If we didn't like it....or if it wasn't in decent shape....
As you can see, we got it. It came with the cabinet, which we will not be using in the kitchen.
Martin has plans for it though. Refurbish the cabinet, add to it, and, presto, turn it into a dining room hutch for the dinnerware.
He can do whatever he wants, I have my sink.
