Kitchen Sink Retrofits - Single Bowl or Double Bowl? That is the Question. Hate your double bowl sink? Want a single bowl sink but think you have to replace the countertop? Many times you do not have to replace the countertop. Just simply fabricate a larger opening! I have been in the Kitchen and Bath industry for 25 years and have always been a huge proponent of single bowl sinks. Unless you are filling one side with soapy water to wash and rinsing in the other side, the double bowl sink is a thing of the past. Single bowl sinks allow you to soak a casserole dish in the sink rather than the countertop or one half at a time. Single bowl sinks make it much easier to clean a saucepan with a handle and cookie sheets without contorting your body! A single bowl sink allows everything that does down the drain to run through the disposer. With just one drain at the disposer, you open up more storage space under the sink, too! Upgrade your faucet in the process! Try the new touchless options. Add a disposer air switch if your sink is in the island to make controlling the disposer easier. Don't forget the soap dispenser! If you have a double equal double bowl sink that you would like to replace with a single bowl sink, give me a call and let’s see what we can do to make your dream come true!

Eichler in Marinwood - The primary organizational element of the interior is the kitchen. Embedded within the simple post and beam structure, the kitchen was conceived as a programmatic block from which we would carve in order to contribute to both sense of function and organization. photo: scott hargis

This kitchen features white paint cabinetry paired with Verde Butterfly countertops. A unique feature in this kitchen is the tile backsplash. The white arabesque tile paired with white grout gives this small kitchen a huge personality. All new stainless steel appliances are from Samsung. The sink now in the kitchen peninsula allows socialization from the kitchen to the adjoining dining room. The garbage disposal switch is a push-button operation near the sink’s faucet. Subway floor tile running in on a horizontal pattern lengthens this area, and gives the illusion of a larger kitchen.

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.

Light switch controls can be hard to reach on large expansive kitchen islands. Opening a cabinet when your hands wet equally cumbersome. An Air Switch or Air Button is a fantastic solution to control the garbage disposal unit. Credit to the homeowner for this DIY.

Transforming key spaces in a home can really change the overall look and feel, especially in main living areas such as a kitchen or primary bathroom! Our goal was to create a bright, fresh, and timeless design in each space. We accomplished this by incorporating white cabinetry and by swapping out the small, seemingly useless island for a large and much more functional peninsula. And to transform the primary bathroom into a serene sanctuary, we incorporated a new open and spacious glass shower enclosure as well as a luxurious free-standing soaking tub, perfect for ultimate relaxation.

This design-build project is located in Topsail Beach, overlooking waterfront views.
