subject: Farmhouse Sinks #1 [print this page] When you think of a farm house, what do you think about? Are you someone who has always dreamt of having a nice country home, big inviting foyer, sun room in the back and a great kitchen full of cabinets and cooking room, and one great old country style, farmhouse sinks. Often times people dont realize it, but the home they live in now, probably is already equipped with a farmhouse sink.
Now, after daydreaming about your dream home, you are most likely like every other dreamer out there, envisioning the farmhouse sink, big enough for one to bath a baby or undress the turkey similar to the style kitchen that your grandparents or great grandparents use to own. There is no shame in that, and maybe if you are one of the lucky few, you will someday inherit that home, and large kitchen with the farmhouse sink big enough to do all those things. If not, than it will be up to you to create the country home, and farm style kitchen you always dreamt of.
Take the opportunity to do this by working around the farmhouse kitchen that you choose. There are several out there to choose from. But it will be your decision in the end which of the farmhouse sinks you choice from. Once you have picked the one that you want in your dream kitchen, be sure that you have the room to install it, and make it part of your kitchen without eliminating extra counter space. Often times these types of sinks will take up more room, but offer more than your typical sink.
Be sure to go into your local sink provider and take a good look at all of the options. The farmhouse sinks are extra-long and there are some that will measure as much as four feet long, if not longer, and deep enough to wash every kitchen pot and pan you own.
In the end, it will be completely up to you how you decide to decorate and accommodate your country style kitchen, start with the farmhouse sink, and work from there. Bring in some great country dcor, a few wash boards to hang on the wall, accompanied by a nice round table dressed with floral or country setting clothes, and topped off with fresh wildflowers, or if you have a favorite country antique item use that as your focal point as well.
