Then, I started looking for tile and happened upon a farmhouse sink made for laminate counters! I was so excited because I haven't found these anywhere and I've always wanted one. I grabbed it for $499 at Home Depot. Zack had to notch out the countertop to fit it and it took a lot of finesse and learning as we went (isn't that the story of DIY?) but it went in and it looks fantastic.
We also ended up purchasing a black faucet from Amazon to continue the black from the cabinet hardware and a new black drain to complete the look and keep everything cohesive.
Aint she a beaut?
Then came tile. I had a hard time finding a good tile installer that would show up on time or even show up at all! Apparently its really hard to find good workers here. I ended up finding someone using Thumbtack, which, if you're looking for any work in your house, use it! You can search for your type of project, your time frame and then it matches you with workers and you can check their photos and reviews and even set up quotes. Not an ad but for real, the best website ever.
Anyway, we purchased our tile, (3x6 subway tiles in a bright white) grout (Delorean Grey from Prism) and matching caulk and then our guy came over and installed it all in one day!
It looks so good.
Up next? The REVEAL!
