New Sink

In our last post we shared how we gutted out our old sink as we were replacing our old counter-tops with gorgeous granite. I neglected to show the after pictures of the sink that we had installed. Trust me- it's just as amazing as the counters.

Here are the before pictures of our old sink: stained and yucky.This faucet wasn't bad- just not very glamorous. Plus, it only twisted into the sink on the right... it wouldn't turn the other direction unless you pulled it out and used the hose.
Here you can better see the stained sink basin. It's supposed to be ivory white but it's really more yellow with some old ring marks that would not be scrubbed away.

Upon closer inspection you can see how clearly neglected this sink was. Where did anyone wash anything? It doesn't seem like soap ever hit this drain! So yuck! This is also stained a nice putrid rust color.

This is the part that made me truly happy to toss this sink out. This is the bottom of the soap dispenser (which didn't have the dispenser attached to it anyway). Nicely rusted and corroded.


And here are the after pictures of our beautiful new under-mount stainless steel sink complete with no rusty soap dispenser, clean drains and stain free basin :)

Here's my favorite part. Our garbage disposal button :) The elderly gentleman got scared when I shouted with excitement as he showed us this option. So 21st century, yay!

And here's the whole shibang. We love our beautiful faucet and flawless sinks!

Now the only problem that we have is that the sink is so pretty that we don't want to put any dirty dishes in it!
