4261. judithathome - 7/13/2008 3:39:12 PM Maybe you could find one of those that has a large one on one side and a smaller, higher one on the other. 4262. judithathome - 7/13/2008 3:40:22 PM Have the garbage disposal, if you get one (we didn't) installed under the higher one and it would save more cabinet space below, too. 4263. arkymalarky - 7/13/2008 5:56:46 PM I love those porcelain sinks with the drain built in. 4264. wonkers2 - 7/13/2008 7:22:00 PM We just put in a new kitchen with a double porcelain sink and a fancy faucet and liquid hand soap squirter. The left side (larger) measures 19x18.5 x 9 inches deep. The right side measures 16.5 x 11 x 7.75 inches. We like it. It's stamped on the bottom ALLIA, LIMOGES, FRANCE. 4265. judithathome - 7/14/2008 4:06:16 AM Ooooo-la-la! 4266. thoughtful - 7/14/2008 5:57:17 PM Wow Wonks!
We don't have a garbage disposal...we're on septic.
I thought we had a solution...large single sink with built-in drain board. But now I find to get that we need a 48" base and to keep the sink under the window it would mean we lose the lazy susan in the corner.
:(
The smaller sink with drainboard doesn't make sense. Most frustrating. I can see I'll just have to go into sink design like I have to go into appliance design to get what i want!
Ah the trials and tribulations of being a control freak... 4267. arkymalarky - 7/14/2008 6:08:15 PM Is there any way to have two sinks in the kitchen in separate locations? Are you going to have an island in the kitchen?
We have a garbege disposal, but Bob put in a small septic--very small--just for it. I don't think it was worth it, frankly, but it was something he insisted on. It needs work to be very functional now, and we need to work it so that it can be used for compost. 4268. jexster - 7/14/2008 6:28:11 PM Thanks Wabbit.
Got her the same day that Sonny's remains arrived....Completely different personality. This one is a handful! 4269. thoughtful - 7/14/2008 6:53:42 PM Arky, we are already planning on having a prep sink in the island, so this is really a clean-up sink near the dishwasher where all the dishes and other things will be washed. We also do not have a service sink or washtub or anything in the utility room so this one will have to do all those functions too. 4270. wonkers2 - 7/14/2008 7:05:11 PM Fitting all the kitchen components into the available space is tricky. 4271. arkymalarky - 7/14/2008 8:02:05 PM Oh, then it sounds like the bigger the better! 4272. wonkers2 - 7/14/2008 11:41:53 PM My wife informs me that the Rohl all-porcelain ceramic over-mount sink cost $550 with a discount, about the same as a comparable Kohler sink. However, the fancy Rohl faucet and hand soap reservoir with squirter cost $600. The sink came from Limoges. I don't know where the faucet came from--somewhere in France. So far the faucet works well and we like the sink. The kitchen contractors installed our old garbage disposal in the new sink. They said it was fine and there was no point in replacing it until it wore out. 4273. arkymalarky - 7/15/2008 12:16:22 AM Thoughtful, are you doing stainless steel sinks? I love porcelain, but I do have some permanent marks on it, and I don't use the kitchen much. 4274. thoughtful - 7/15/2008 5:56:58 PM SS for sure. I cook all the time and expect that once I retire, I'll cook even more often. I'm looking for durability and low maintenance.
We used to have the old porcelain sink but I found my tummy getting cold against it all the time when washing dishes...I'm much happier with the ss, tho it's not much to look at. 4275. judithathome - 7/15/2008 7:18:54 PM Wonkers, back in the early 70s, I had a sink with a faucet that came with an automatic soap dispensing thing AND another that held hand lotion! I used this liquid hand lotion called Golden Touch...pure glycerin and very good...I used to carry a bottle of it in my purse in high school, in fact.
I checked on the internet a several years ago to see if that hand lotion was still made and found the company that makes it. I oredered a half dozen bottles...smallest order you could make...and still have some of it left. 4276. arkymalarky - 7/15/2008 8:01:02 PM If they have a home expo, or whatever they call it, scheduled in your area any time before you start the interior, those are lots of fun to just walk around and see all the latest stuff and get ideas. SS sinks and appliances, and concrete countertops seem to be the big thing now, at least according to HGTV. ;-) Kitchens seem to be shifting in style to real use. My house is a country Victorian and I tried to pick stuff consistent with that and in consideration of the fact I've never used the kitchen much, but I wanted counter space and cabinet space. I still hope to start canning one day, and I already have the stuff and the room to do that, but I don't have a cook's kitchen. 4277. jexster - 7/15/2008 9:29:15 PM Hello Cruel World

4279. judithathome - 7/16/2008 1:29:25 PM What a big-eyed cutie, Jex! 4280. thoughtful - 7/16/2008 1:32:04 PM OMG that first picture looks so much like Cas! Amazing!
When Cas was a wee one, he had those big ears and a spiky tail just like Sasha's. Fortunately, as he grew, so did his tail...it is now a really long tail and completely fluffed out, as is the rest of him.
I'm sure Sasha will be a lovely...
