The sink is a utilitarian element in your home which no doubt is usually an afterthought in the design process…but I am telling you today that you should ‘reimagine your sink’. Wikipedia says that the sink evolved from a simple bowl in the early 1800’s into a bowl or bucket integrated into a wooden cabinet with a trough built on the top lined with zinc or …yikes…lead! Splashboards were often added on the back wall as well as drawers and shelves. Sinks have come a long way…we now have sinks made of stainless steel, enamel, cast iron, marble, concrete, copper and many other materials.
