Ot: want super bitchin sink…

[scaredyclassic]

For the downstairs guest/public bathroom we don’t have a vanity/sink. Former owner took it. There’s a sink around the corner in the laundry room. We’ve been looking around now and then for a sink for 1.5 years. The price I’d been willing to pay has gradually increased to the point where I’d be willing to pay up to 3,000 if only my spouse could find a sink/vanity shed like.

Where are the super bitching sinks in San Diego sold?

funny you should ask…
I’m doing the same thing.

I’m thinking about doing a punch bowl with an antique bronze look wit hthe water faucet looking like an old well pump.

Pacific Sales is a good place to start.

We went to local pacific sales. Nothing sufficiently bitching.

She’s willing to convert an antique vanity.

$3000?!?

Take a trip to Brooklyn, New Hope, and/or Philly. Visit antique stores and respond to Craigslist ads. Spend $500. Spend the rest of the money enjoying yourself.

Describe what you consider bitchen. Standard of Excellence has an outlet behind the Sears outlet. Some pretty nice sinks there. If you are looking for retro, Retro Renovations has links to hard to find old school bathroom fixtures.

If we could describe bitching I think we’d already have bought it.

Retro renovations sounds promising

been trying cragslist for 6 months and occasionally see a lead but haven’t closed a deal.

Actually I’d probably pay 3,500 for a way bitching sink just to be done with it.

My sink would then be worth three times my car

Well, if you haven’t yet, I’d try the Standard of Excellence outlet. Last year I found a pretty cool vessel sink that was curvy, not the typical round ones. And if you have money to burn, just bypass the outlet and go to the store. They have some nice stuff, but it’s not cheap.

Go to European Bath Kitchen Tile Stone in Solana Beach on Cedros Ave and see Suzi Banks. She knows about all things bitchin, especially sinks, and has done tons of high end homes. 143 S. Cedros, Solana Beach, (858) 792-1542.

$1.59, buy a Sharpie, write Bitch’en on the sink.

Done.

Been wondering about vessel sinks for awhile… How do you like it? I’ve heard that it’s more difficult to keep the sink/countertop clean because you can’t just swipe the water into the sink. Also, heard that they can splash more. Are either true? After having one for awhile, what do you think of it, especially in a household with lots of traffic/kids?

Scaredy,

We looked at lots of sinks, too, especially those made in the USA. There are a lot of really beautiful sinks out there.

Have you looked at these?

Also, what is the general style of your house, both inside and out? Will this bathroom get a lot of traffic, or is it mostly decorative?

Hey, CAR, I like my vessel sink. I can’t even remember how many times things ended up down the drain b/c they were on the counter and accidentally fell in the sink. I’ll never have that problem again w/the vessel sink. The counter is not hard to clean.

I’d rather have a bitchin camaro
