Everything and the Kitchen Sink: Farmhouse Sink Inspiration Photos

Farmhouse sinks. I don't think I've ever seen one that I didn't love. Usually what first comes to mind when we think of these old-fashioned style sinks is bright white classic porcelain. But nowadays, you can find farmhouse sinks in many different materials such as granite, fiberglass, stainless steal, copper, nickel, stone, clay, acrylic, and soapstone. If a farmhouse sink is your style, you're sure to find one that will suit your decorating tastes.

While you can buy new styles and reproductions anywhere from between $199 {Ikea!} to $$$$, if vintage is your thing, check out Craigslist, salvage yards, antique stores, and yard sales for one of these beautiful sinks and a little bit of history to boot. {Stained sinks can be reglazed though I've heard conflicting reports on the cost effectiveness of doing this, from "a fraction of the cost of buying new" to "could have bought a new one at the same price". Has anyone had their sink or tub reglazed? What was your experience?}

As for me, classic white is still my favorite!Though we already replaced our sink during our kitchen remodel, I still dream of someday having one of these timeless, beautiful vessels in our home {perhaps when I don't have my kids doing the dishes for me - they've been quite rough on our new sink!}

Here are a few photos that I have collected for a "sink inspiration" file. I need to get much better about documenting all the sources, but I know several came from Southern Living and many came from various kitchen design sites. I know - what a pathetic attempt to give credit where it's due. I'll be more organized next time! I've numbered them so that you can tell me your favorite inspirations. As for me, classic white is still my favorite! I especially love photo #5 - the farmhouse sink coupled with a wooden countertop. Gorgeous!
