i bet you love the sink.....but... the sink is dink! so small, its not even a double, and all that drainboard sucking up nearby counter space... so, are you SURE you love the sink? cuz its only borderline functional to my eye.

while I love the look and idea behind, I have to agree. it's not functional in a real kitchen. You could barely wash a pot in that sink. I'd rather have this one

but here are some design ideas. just go to Pinterest or on here and search vintage kitchen sinks. should give u some ideas

I think it is cool, but I have to wonder if nnigrt has a point-how big is the basin? I wouldn't worry too much about taking up counter space, my sink is regularly flanks with dirty dishes to the left and clean on the right anyway. To me the concern would be the ability to really use the sink for what you need it for.

That being said, broaden your search a little bit. Do the photos have to be specifically of double drainboard sinks? Can't they be reclaimed thinks, retro sinks,…?

Here are just a few photos I found when looking for "reclaimed kitchen sink"

Two more

I agree., I feel that since our kitchen is tiny, those large drainboards would become a nuisance. Part of me reeeally wants it in the design because it's old and salvaged but honestly not practical.

Thank you all for your input!!

cool, thanks for your opinions!!

I think your sink is beautiful...hopefully you can figure out a way to use it somewhere; if not in the kitchen!

IS the basin big enough?

sunnydrew's comment has me thinking of a laundry room. Not everyone pre-treats like I do: spray and scrub, etc... but I'd lay out garment on the side/ maybe soak in the sink.... depends on your washes...

If it isn't big enough for a main sink, It could also make a nice "prep sink." I don't think the drainboards pose a space problem at all (again, cutting boards, drying rack, etc-it is still usable space). You say it is a galley kitchen, I imagine a prep sink when ups be even more useful in a small kitchen to keep cooks out of each others hair than in a large kitchen with plenty of flow.

We just put one of these in our (second kitchen/) laundry room. It is the kitchen space we will use while in construction on the main kitchen in our home. We only had one wall to use so we justified one of the drain boards over our dishwasher with the fridge on that end and the stove down and to the right of the other drain board. It works quite well. The sink is shallow, but works well because it is wide (20"?) while the 17" drain boards can be used just like countertops. Plus, it looks old and wonderful!(and mine is more rustic than yours looks). I am so pleased. It will make a great drink station in years to come when our main kitchen is completed.

Use it if you love it!

I have a question about single vs. double-drainboard sinks...Is there a reason beyond cost/space constraints that someone would choose one over the other? I'm considering an antique drainboard sink for my butler's pantry/scullery and while it seems I'd have room for a 5' double-drainboard (though single-basin; the depth looks decent from the pic) sink I wonder if this is overkill. Basically I'd like to be able to put bulky soak/hand-wash items out of the way when I need to and have an extra/out-of-the-way place to scrub veggies, etc. Presumably with two drainboards one would be for dirty items and the other for clean, but a single drainboard might suit just as well. Is there a reason one would prefer a single over a double? Thoughts?
