I have been away a little longer that usual but I have not forgotten my dear blog reader peeps.  Let’s just say I suddenly find myself as busy as a dishwasher on Thanksgiving!  Speaking of cleaning, I thought I’d show you some kitchen sink loveliness today.  If you’re remodeling your kitchen you might want to consider something different when it comes to the kitchen sink.  It used to be true that the “farmhouse sink” could only really look right in a traditional type kitchen but that’s no longer true at all.   Your sink doesn’t necessarily need to be sunk under the counter, it can actually be a focal point as you see here.Stone Forest sinks are hand-carved from solid stone!  You can get the fronts polished, rough, with a floral design or with the wavefront as seen here.  Don't ask me how much they cost but a splurge on this will definitely elevate the character of your abode. Some models come with interior dividers if you’re addicted to the double bowl and you can even get them in stainless steel for a more modern look.  This sink is by Kraus.  We've come a long way, huh? 

Here are a couple things to consider if you go this route.  Depending on they type of cabinetry you have, it may be difficult or impossible to retro fit a farmhouse sink into your existing cabinet and countertop.  If you are in fact replacing your tops and you have a back behind the false drawer front under your sink you may be in luck but it’s always safer to check with a professional first. Speaking of professionals, make sure of two things.  You need to know what sink you'll be using before ordering cabinets to make sure that you have enough space on the front above the doors to accommodate the front. The second thing is to be confident that your installer is familiar with this type of installation.  It will make or break you! Secondly if you really enthusiastic at the sink ie water everywhere be careful.  That same slick smooth apron front is a perfect pathway for water to drip down on to your cabinet doors.  That said, I have had clients who love their apron front farmhouse sinks with nary a problem.  I say if you love it and you can then go for it!
