We researched faucets a lot before deciding on a "Lindsey" Moen. It seemed to over power our small stainless steal sink we had. We didn't want to purchase a new sink if we didn't have to. We kept going back and forth. We finally decided it would be nice to "complete" our project with a new sink. It would help give our kitchen the over all feel of updated. Once we decided on getting a new sink we had to decide on which one. I've always loved stainless steal. They clean up nicely and are quite durable. However, we couldn't find one in the right layout (depth and spacing) we wanted. I didn't want a cast iron sink because I've broken too many dishes in them (slipping out of my hand and landing on the hard surface). We found some nice Mont Blanc granite composite sinks at Home Depot. The one that fit our counter cut out dimensions wasn't my favorite. The color was too dark and the basins weren't as big and I wanted them. There was a larger sink that was perfect. There was a smaller basin and a larger basin. Yet the dimensions for our counter top were smaller than what the box stated. Logan and I talked at Home Depot one night for a while wondering if the larger sink would indeed fit in the counter top cut out we already had (the counter tops were done at this point). We decided to buy the larger sink (the one that was perfect!) and hope that it fit in our hole. If it didn't, we could always return it. We were amazing and excited to find that the larger sink fit into our opening!! The color also went well with the counter tops and the white cupboards.

Logan also replaced all the plumbing under the sink. It was starting to get too old and corroded.
I really love your sink and you faucet, the faucet it one I would put in my housee.
ReplyDeleteFixing the kitchen sink overall is a good move. Having a leaky faucet can increase your water bill, and an old and corroded pipe can give up any minute. This means you might end up with a bigger problem. And by the way, the Mont Blanc granite is a good choice.

Wow! I am glad that you found something that you both like and agree on. I am quite amazed that your husband is good with plumbing. He is quite the all-around man is he? Poor man, he must’ve been exhausted at the last picture.

And we had a horrible water hammer with the old plumbing that would shake the house every time you turned on the water. Now it's gone! This huge sink is so easy to hide things in, you can practically go a week without doing dishes and there's still room for more.
ReplyDeleteYou didn’t have to ask for the help of a plumber because your husband could work on it himself and was very willing to do so. It’s great that aside from working with all the plumbing under your sink, he also made a hinging storage. It’s nice to have a cooperative husband, isn’t it? :)
