Stainless Steel Farm Sink: This homeowner chose a singe bowl but consider if you prefer one large bowl or if you like having the divider in the middle. They also make configurations with one larger bowl and one smaller bowl. Some people prefer the large bowl/ small bowl combo when they have a garbage disposal. You need to specify when buying your sink if you would like the big side on the left or the right.

Farm Sink Tips!
- always order a sink that is 3" less and the sink base cabinet you've ordered. There needs to be about 1.5" of cabinet on each side of the farm sink for structural support.
- always check the height of the farm sink to make sure its compatible with the height of the sink base doors. Sometimes the deep sink bases require special doors. Its best to send the model # to your cabinet supplier for confirmation that it will fit.
- the farm sink should be installed by your cabinet installer- not the countertop installer. Yes, the countertop guys will mount the sink to the countertop BUT the cabinet installer needs to provide the blocking support required underneath the farm sink (inside the sink base). Make sure your cabinet installer is familiar with this process.
- If you're keeping your existing cabinets you can still have a farm sink that can be retro-fitted into a traditional sink base cabinet. See this option below & also message me if you need further help finding one!

2. Sink Light: Our homeowner used a brushed nickel pendant light above the sink which serves as its own focal point. We have no valance between the two cabinets on each side of the window and the view outside of the window is nice but not the focal point so in this case, we felt a hanging pendant light above the sink worked well.

3. Satin Nickel Cabinet Pulls: In this space, you'll notice we decided to use pulls on both drawers & doors. Sometimes people prefer to have knobs on their doors but in this case, its a small space and we felt keeping it simple/ consistent would be the best approach. You can find these pulls in the link below.
4. Stainless Steel Hood: This modern hood serves both function & form as the focal point in the room. It's sleek contour is perfect for the scale of its environment. To find this hood, click the link below.

5. Mosaic Tile Backsplash: This linear mosaic tile backsplash is made by Dal-tile from the Enchanted Collection. We chose to install the mosaic tiles vertically for visual interest as it serves as the statement piece for the room. If you're interested in ordering this tile backsplash, feel free to message me and I'll be happy to help!
