Okay, it's a big sink, but not THAT big...it should say 54" sink! LOL

Well, after lots of measuring and checking my house plan, I'm thinking that this sink will be perfect for the pantry! It's a U-shaped pantry, with cabinets...and this sink, with butcher block counters would be exactly what we need for washing veggies, right out of the garden, or arranging flowers.

This is also the sink that is closest to the laundry area...and again, the two drainboards would be perfect for hanging clothes to dry. That's one decision out of the way! Now, I just have to figure out what to do in the kitchen :)

So, does anyone have any ideas, about the base cabinet? Can I combine two...or do I need one cabinet that's wide enough? Would it be 54" or a little wider?

Thanks in advance :)

I want that.

Oh. You're keeping it. :) Would you be able to use a separate cabinet for the bowl and side cabinets under the drainboards?

Could you put storage underneath it, and skirt it instead? Seems like that would go with the look you are going for, sort of the cottage feel, and you could pull in blue and white fabric.

Carrie- That's brilliant! Should I put it on a base...kind of like a table? If that would work, it would be great...and I always need more storage space! :)

Fori- Yes, I'm keeping it (LOL) Do you think it would work on a base with legs of some sort, rather than a base cabinet?

Hmm . . . I was thinking it may have legs, like the one in the link (another great pic - love it). If not, I'd say you could probably build a frame of some sort. It looks heavy, I'd probably find a clever cabinet maker or carpenter to help me on that one!

lavender_lass - forgive me one more photo, but I had to post. It has blue cabinets, a big antique farmhouse sink with a skirt, and an island with butcher block counters. Had to post!

Carrie- Thanks for the pictures. Those are great...and post as many as you want!

You may have already seen this, but here's the remodeling plan, showing the kitchen/pantry area...so you can see where the sink is going. It will look much cooler with the farm sink and I love the idea of using the fabric skirt :)
