![]() One of my favorite places to poke around in is Nor’East Architectural Salvage in South Hampton, NH. I already had it in my mind that having a ginormous soapstone sink in my laundry room was going to be a reality he just didn’t know it yet! I also refused to pay a fortune for it. ![]() Now at this point my husband was happy that we weren’t going to be installing a 4-foot x 2-foot sink *Insert evil laugh here*. It’s in relatively good shape, and I’ve started brainstorming on what to do with it this spring… obviously that will be a future blog post! I still haven’t completely decided what to do with it yet! Per his recommendations we decided that it would be better off used outside for potting, or to hold drinks on a warm summer day. He was nervous that we would have some leaking once it was installed. A concrete sink would have been cool but the only problem with it upon further inspection by my plumber was that there were too many little hairline cracks. I’m not gonna lie… it’s now my favorite part of the house! Initially a friend of mine was getting rid of what she thought was a soapstone sink, but turned out to be concrete. It’s difficult to tell from this picture, but the vanity is totally in the way of the door so it really wasn’t a good spot for a sink anyway!īefore we even closed on the house I had made up my mind that the whole room itself would be designed around a vintage 4-foot double basin soapstone sink. There wasn’t much to rip out other than the existing sink, and as with every other bathroom in the house they never installed vanity lights which kept us from having to patch holes up and then make new ones. Just off of that is the laundry room which is also the 1 st floor ½ bath. Upon entering from the garage you step into a small tiled hallway which kind of doubles as a “mudroom”. This past summer, Tony and I purchased a foreclosure home (and you will find some of his interjections in this post in the brackets denoted: “Husband Note”)! The house itself is only 9 years old, but you’d be amazed at how downtrodden a home can become when not taken care of properly, so while the shell was in good shape, there was a considerable amount of work that had to be done inside.
