I'm happy to add my limited knowledge to the discussion.įor the old vintage sinks, some can accommodate a disposal, some cannot - it depends on the size of the drain hole. Hi all! Yes, I'm another person with one of the old original drainboard sinks. Good luck to you! I would love to see your kitchen plans. The legs are supposed to be decorative rather than structurally necessary. My sink has legs because it was less expensive (by a couple hundred $) than the sink without the legs. Unless the Clarion is mounted with the apron front above 34 1/2'', a standard DW would not fit under it. The plumber also thought a dishwasher drawer would fit under the sink. It is the small drainboard that may pose a problem. I think the sink basin will do okay with a meal's worth of dishes if you don't have a large family. The Chicago faucet is infinitely repairable, which influenced my choice. DH was not happy with the wall faucets because he thinks there will be problems down the line. I like it, however if there was a reliable, reasonably priced residential wall faucet, with sprayer that was smaller in scale, I would prefer it to the Chicago. It has an extremely powerful spray that took some getting used to. Chicago makes the commercial sprayer faucet. My plumber asked if I wanted one, which I did not. Maybe she, too, will respond to this thread. She had cabinets built under the sink that are beautifully done. I feel like I'm a real part of the forum now :)Īrlosmom also has a vintage sink similar to the Clarion. Thank you all again so much for your responses. Oh one last concern-can I still have a garbage disposal with this sink? My plan was to skirt it for charm (and to hide the trash/recycling) and to flank it with base cabinets, one of which would hold a dishwasher. We were considering forgoing a separate prep sink to save money, so this might be our only sink.

I'm forcing myself to pay attention to the fact that you have 3 sinks and your comment that the basin of this is not really adequate for a sink full of dishes. (forgive my ignorance-is that similar to a bath fixture?) My husband was concerned about not having a sprayer attachment and we were wondering about adding one, but I noticed you have one. Thank you for the tip about the wall faucet-I wouldn't have thought about that. Reysuela-thanks for reminding me of ebay! A few years ago I found a really cool one but thought it a bit premature to purchase it when it could not fit in our current house )Ĭotehele-I was hoping you'd respond after Judydel mentioned you in her post above! I love that sink in your kitchen and I will also look into the Belle Floret. Would you be able to post a photo of it in your kitchen? Judydel-I'd never seen that Kohler model-it looks great! The actual basin of this clarion model is smaller than what we are currently using and I'd been concerned about "downsizing" so a bigger basin actually sounds good.
Thank you each for your responses, they are very helpful!
