14 Dreamy Farmhouse Sinks
Before Julia and I left Brooklyn behind, we managed to score the very last farmhouse sink that Ikea had in the New York area. We had no idea, but when I mentioned on Instagram that we installed one, I was besieged by emails from people across the state asking to buy it out of our house. If I didn’t know they were so popular before, I definitely knew after that.
We’re fortunate to live in an area now where most people live in (some still working) family farm houses, so I’ve come to appreciate seeing all manner of farmhouse sinks, from more industrial tub sinks on stands to the classic white porcelain model we’ve all come to love. Whether they have a single basin or double, white or soapstone walls or have rounded or straight-edged sides, a deep farmhouse sink is always an welcome site in the kitchen. Today I’m sharing 14 of my favorites to inspire your next kitchen project (or salvage hunt!). xo, grace

I love farmhouse sinks, but I hear that they can be easily cracked or chipped – is that true?
People want a farmhouse sink? I have a mint green with draining boards to either side. Though it matches my mint green Chambers B stove, it doesn’t fit in my kitchen (without blocking part of the window).
Yes. Where and how, please!
Yes, this spring after installing my IKEA kitchen, I was told that they were discontinuing their small (single bowl) DOMSJO farmhouse sink. My local IKEA kitchen team was in a panic, and I was worried (freaking out) too, as we had designed the kitchen around the farmhouse sink (as one does!). Luckily I was able to ‘hack’ my 24″ sink base to accommodate a (relatively) affordable farmhouse sink I found on Amazon. Basically we had to cut the sink apron opening deeper, and this sink rests on the walls of the 24″ cabinet (we added a brace underneath to be safe). The walls of this sink are straight, so it works. Everything came out really well, I love my new kitchen and sink. Just wanted to share incase others are in the same boat.

Farmhouse sinks have been all the rage in our new remodeling projects. They go well with a contrast to modern style painted kitchen cabinets.
