Farmhouse Sinks

A post called Farmhouse Sink from December ’10 is one of the top visited posts on this blog, every day. People sure are interested in the Rohl/Shaw clay apron sinks according to the stats. I started this blog to record and share pictures and ideas for our India apartment and have amassed a huge file of farmhouse sinks!

Here are some more farmhouse or apron sinks … different materials, different colors, different placement, different sizes …

Via Country Living:

Found at Design*Sponge:

Via Bella Rustica in a new Italian influenced kitchen:

Found at The New Victorian Ruralist:

How often do you see dark farmhouse sinks? Very elegant, this one, found at Velvet and Linen:

Via Brown Dress with White Dots Tumblr (I don’t know original source?):

From Kitchens.com:

Via Two Maisons – this kitchen is amazing. Visit this link, you will be treated to an elegant country kitchen with planks used to age rounds of cheese for the cabinets. This resourceful kitchen mixes Ikea with an 18th century armoire. This kitchen design is very much influencing me for our India apartment. And here is the stone sink:

Via Kitchens magazine:

Via DecorPad, of course a farmhouse sink makes sense in a laundry room:

Also via DecorPad, this sink is ready for its close-up shot. Note the curved cut to the cabinets for close-fitting installation:

Another winner from DecorPad. I like the contrast of white and black:

Found at Remodelista, this sink is elevated above the counter:

A stainless farmhouse sink, shown at Country Living:

Via Garden and Gun:

Via bonifacious.be:

Farmhouse Sink found at Villa Anna blog:

Elle Decor shows us twin farmhouse sinks:

Believe it or not, I did not dump my whole farmhouse sink inspiration file into this post. There are a bazillion pretty pictures of kitchens with white sinks. I hope this post revealed different materials, styles and color combinations for you. What is your favorite?

As far as our farmhouse sink choice … a-ha … that will have to wait for the Big Reveal post!

To see farmhouse sinks installed in beautiful kitchens, I’ve pinned many more images at a Pinterest Farmhouse Sink Board — follow along there!

Farmhouse Sink

I love the farmhouse sink look. With the opportunity to design in Chennai from the beginning, and with the Tuscan kitchen theme, I can see a farmhouse sink in our future …

Here is a Rohl clay sink:

Here is more information about Rohl/Shaws clay sinks. These are also called apron sinks. Also here’s a discussion at That Home Site boards about apron/farmhouse sinks. That Home Site can be a lifesaver due to knowledge shared from people who’ve been down the renovation road. People are very open about sharing the good, bad and ugly so things don’t get ugly for you. I now always run to That Home Site discussion boards to read and ask questions when we’re dealing with home repair or renovation issues. The discussion has a North American focus but much advice could apply anywhere.

See a Shaw apron sink, or farmhouse sink, installed in a unique kitchen here:

Here is a fluted farmhouse sink in a vanity:

I like the look of copper sinks. They’re distinctive and a good focal point in the kitchen. I do need to do more research into durability and care of copper, though. The first example is this hammered copper sink:

Also available without a divider in the middle:

You can get them with designs on the front:

Another hammered copper version that looks old, just the way I like it:

Here’s a smooth copper sink with rounded corners, beautiful:

So are these sinks only seen in magazine photos? Do “real people” really get to have such beautiful sinks? The answer must be yes. Here’s a real copper farmhouse sink in a kitchen used by real people, posted by a real person on That Home Site discussion boards:

They got their sink from this company which specializes in copper sinks.

Oh goodness, this copper farmhouse sink below with a scroll design is gorgeous!

A quick sidestep from the typical apron sink here — do you have owning a copper bucket sink on your Bucket List? If so, here is your sink:

This sink offers something different from all others thus far. It incorporates the backsplash:

Here’s another one with backsplash included plus a hammered textured apron:

This copper farmhouse sink offers a utilitarian feature — a built-in drainboard:

So, you can see even when you narrow your focus to “farmhouse” and “copper” there are still numerous options!
