O.M.G. this occasion calls for a big OMG guys! We won {yes, I like to pretend that when we get something on eBay, that we actually ‘won’ it- not bought it!} a ridiculously rad antique iron farmhouse sink!!!!!
After much debate, and the help from you fine folks here, we decided we wanted to do a laundry sink, and stack the new washer/dryer. The original desire of my heart was to have an old wall mounted farmhouse sink with legs. Those happen to be anywhere from $1,500 to $2,000, and give us no enclosed storage space underneath it.

Since we need to hide stuff under the sink it was time to re-think my desires! But we really did not want a basic laundry sink, we wanted something that had character and storage space. So we had to figure out something that would give us storage, but would still maintain the wall mount farmhouse style. We also needed to make sure that we did a quick search for ‘a plumber near me‘ to get someone to us so we can have it connected up to our pipes and ready for us to use as fast as possible. It is quite exciting to get something like this installed, as I can imagine all we can do with it as well as how aesthetically pleasing it is. We Jeremy has been scouring eBay and Craigslist for a sink like what I had in mind, and finally came across one that was in great condition..and at a great price! Now keep in mind this picture was most likely taken by a 2 million year old man who can no longer see, and owns a fuji film camera from the 90’s {in other words, it is a terrible photo}, but it will do:
What do you think? It is a wall-mounted drop in sink from the 20’s. I love we will be able to either build storage, or buy a cool dresser for it. Storage plus a rad sink=happy wife. And we all know that for a husband a happy wife=a happy life!

Great find! You could actually try to copy the legs from your “dream sink” by doing a faux porcelain finish to match the color of the sink using some wooden posts/spindles (not sure what they’re called)…might even find the legs you need on some junk piece of table/furniture from flea market or thrift store…have fun with your new sink!
