Repurposing salvaged sink Traditional Kitchen, Burlington
This salvaged kitchen sink was found awhile ago by the client who new she wanted to use it if ever she renovated. Integrated beautifully into the Danby marble countertop and backsplash with new fixtures it is a real joy to clean up.
This kitchen was formerly a dark paneled, cluttered, divided space with little natural light. By eliminating partitions and creating an open floorplan, as well as adding modern windows with traditional detailing, providing lovingly detailed built-ins for the clients extensive collection of beautiful dishes, and lightening up the color palette we were able to create a rather miraculous transformation.

We looked at the repro farm sinks by NBI, but they're acrylic, designed to resemble porcelain on cast iron. The acrylic don't hold up well to heat, abrasion, dropped dishes......

I would get on the phone with a Rohl dealer and ask how you order the "Rohl Country Kitchen Collection Single lever sidespray" that would be the best way to proceed. Good luck.

Sorry, I can't tell you because I don't know. Our client found this salvage sink in her many years of accumulating items for this project, and we integrated the design around it.

The plumber worked the water supply lines from the main sink to feed to the adjacent cabinet where we had the cabinet maker leave room for the plumbing.

Am I only one who thought about wall mounted drinking faucet? The counter top is free of any faucets and no more hard water deposit and germs

I remember a sink like this in my grandparents east river flat in NYC- this was the 1960's and the sink was probably from the 1940/50's. Love how the owner salvaged and re-purposed it for the new design. A mix that marries opposites of vintage and contemporary reflects a feel that will always be stylish with a pop of the unexpected. Love it.

The wall mounted bridge faucet and the side spray and spray control to the right of the sink are from Rohl, their Country Kitchen collection.

I would look online around your area for someone who can refinish it, since there are so many options out there. The closer you can find the better since you would want them to come to you - these old cast iron fixtures are very heavy. Good luck.

These pendants are brass pendants with vintage glass originally from Conant Custom Brass in Vermont and I believe they are 7 inches in diameter at the largest. They are now called Conant Metal and Light and they say, "The pendants are our custom pendant, in a standard finish they are $169.00."

That is a painted wood cap which matches the profile of the window stools. It is high enough that moisture is not an issue.

Hello,
This is a Marvin Wood French Casement window directly above the sink (WFCM5640). This is a nice unit in that the sash both open out without anything obscuring the view. The frame size is 4' - 8 1/2" wide x 3' -4 1/8" high. The windows to the left and right of the sink are also Marvin Wood Casement windows (WCM2848) with a frame size of 2' - 4 1/2" wide x 4' - 0 1/8" high.
Hope that helps!

Becky Harris added this to Houzz Tour: Beautiful, Hardworking Cape Renovation
The renovation began with the kitchen, and the kitchen began with this oversized salvaged sink, which had been waiting in the barn for years for its moment in the sun. "We laid out the kitchen and the windows around this huge sink; it was one of those fun constraints that winds up driving a design," Smith says.
Becky Harris added this to Consider a Salvaged Sink
This entire kitchen was designed around this oversized salvaged sink, which the homeowner had been saving in her barn for years. The counter and windows had to be worked around it, and it was well worth the effort. The wall-mounted faucet is by Rohl.
The Inman Company added this to 8 Stylish Sink Types for Kitchens of All Kinds
Repurposed. If you're on a tight budget, you don't need to skimp on your sink's style. Reusing a salvaged sink can add tons of character to your new kitchen. Browse local thrift stores, salvage shops, Craigslist or the newspaper to find a hidden gem. While most nicks and scratches just enhance the sink's character, they can often be easily repaired by a professional if you like.
Toronto Interior Design Group added this to Which Faucet Goes With a Farmhouse Sink?
The width of a bridge faucet makes it a great choice visually for a wide sink with a built-in backsplash, centered over the divide.
Carol Crotta added this to 11 Ways to Save Water at Home
3. Double-dip dishes. Take a page from the past and make smart use of dual sinks. Instead of letting the water run while you wash dishes, fill one sink with hot, soapy water for washing, and the other with cool, clear water for rinsing. You’ll use half the water you otherwise would, according to the EPA. If your sink is a single model, use two large bowls for washing and rinsing.
Janell Beals - House of Fifty added this to The Return of the High-Back Farmhouse Sink
The reasons behind the resurgence of the high-back farmhouse sink are no doubt varied and numerous. But for starters, what other sink style offers such a big dose of charm, or puts a smile on the faces of those seeing it utilized perfectly in a home of today?
Nicole Jacobs added this to How to Recycle or Reuse Your Kitchen Sink
Option 2: Sell Your SinkThere are many budget-minded renovators looking for used functional fixtures. Take a photo of your sink from the original kitchen and post it on an online forum such as Craigslist or Facebook. Unless it’s a quality vintage piece that is highly coveted on the salvage market, such as the farmhouse sink pictured here, you likely won’t get much for your discarded sink. But you’ll be able to get rid of it and rest easy that you haven’t created more construction waste. There are also many people who are interested in bartering construction fixtures and materials, so you may be able to make a trade for something you’ll find more useful.

Remember folks, if you wish to contact me it should be done via email or phone. Update on stock: While I buy and sell I am always acquiring more sinks. Current inventory is about 150 both antique and vintage sinks.
I'm easy enough to find. Look at my profile for email or phone number or other comments. Do a search on your PC. Use my email or my phone number if you really want a sink. Don't ask a question and ask me to contact you. Many people ask about sinks, but don't really follow thru to buy one. So anyone who is serious need simply give me a call - thank you
