My friend has one and it's pretty but I couldn't do without a double for more reasons than I care to list. I'm excited for your kitchen though, I've "redone" mine a bit but nothing big. Sadly, a new faucet is in the future but I LOVE, LOVE my current one. Is it possible to be emotionally attached to a faucet. I think so! I've been wondering if you are ever going to find a stopping point and have to buy a new home. HA! Have fun, I enjoy your projects.Aimee Larsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17235967041233761733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-73534701039625264472010-06-01T13:24:43.081-04:002010-06-01T13:24:43.081-04:00Wow!

It was a Home Depot clearance special...sounding familar yet? Of course the holes didn't match the drain pipes, so there was a zillion trips to the nearby Lowes for the right elbows and PVC extensions. On third trip, I said "Buy one of everything!" Becoming fatigued with the constant lifting of the sink in and out of the counter, my husband bumped the sink into the fridge, which left a neat little DENT on the fridge's door! When it came time to turn on the water, the drain pipe leaked (of course) so there were many trips back to the main water shut off in the basement while we tweaked the connections under the sink. Then the main valve broke. So much for my "bargain" sink. TRUE STORY!! Congratulations on the new sink. It's a beauty.Heathernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-68230539748507523692010-05-31T14:14:03.267-04:002010-05-31T14:14:03.267-04:00You have turned me into a believer of how useful a...You have turned me into a believer of how useful and exciting it is to repurpose items for decorating my home.

That sink and the one hole sink are a tie for me (I so want a new sink, but we got our black cast iron one used for $30 and we're still young newlyweds, so I can't complain!).
