It takes a lot to make some girls happy. Me? Just a sink. Hubby found a very vague Craig’s List listing that made him think of me (isn’t he a girl’s dream).
The listing said: Used white porcelain farmhouse sink with fixtures. Please email or call if interested.
And, I was interested, friends. Because a lot of those inspiration kitchens had a farmhouse sink. So, I emailed. But, I was a little skeptical. Because, really, it could have just been a sink that was originally in a farmhouse, and not an actual farmhouse sink.
And, by golly, when I got there, it was a real farmhouse sink. And while originally I was planning to buy a sink with only one basin, I was too excited to pass this up for $50. Even the farmhouse sink at Ikea was $200 and I don’t think it was as nice.
The sink’s several years old, and the seller upgraded to a granite farmhouse sink. So, I forked over the cash and ran out before the seller could change her mind.
It was mounted under her counters in her kitchen, but I can easily get that caulk off. And, I’ll quickly change those white and brass fixtures. Otherwise, it’s in pretty great shape. Relatively clean. No scratches. It’s a Kohler brand, which is a good brand. And, it’s darn heavy. (Which I hope explains why this is the only photo you’ll get until it’s in the house. It wasn’t moving.)
Go us!
Now, we just need a kitchen.
Do you love it as much as I do?
OMG! For the love of all things holy, you hang on to this beauty w/ all your might!! It’s an amazing price for an impeccable sink. (Kohler rocks my world–best of the best.)
Amazing deal, you lucky girl!
What a great deal! I never seem to have luck on CL.
Lucky you! Your hubby is so sweet, and knows just how to make your heart pitter-patter.
I am BEYOND jealous! I’ve been wanting one but do not want to shell out the dough and I want the single non divided 🙂
congrats on an AWESOME hubby / craigslist find!!!
That is amazing that you got it for that price. Your hubs deserves big props for this one!
What a great hubby!! I love Craigslist.
you scored big time. love it.
Wow, what a find! It’s absolutely beatiful and I can’t wait to see it with new fixtures.
So…when are we gonna hear an update on a new kitchen/house?? I’ve been thinking about it lately and wondering where the whole process is at!
who in the right mind would sell this sink!? and for $50! what a steal. can’t wait to see it ‘in place’!
That is awesome!! It does look like it’s in really good condition. Isn’t it nice when the craigslist gods smile upon you?
I love it! Way to go Ryan! I can’t wait to see the kitchen, and the house, it’s going to go in!
back to add, yes Kohler is a GREAT brand, someone spent around $2,000 on this baby!

this might be the best Craig’s List find I have EVER SEEN! go Ryan!
Major score! I’m 80% super happy for you and 20% totally jealous – but in a totally great way!
Great find!!!! I can’t wait to see it in some kitchen of yours. : )
Great find and clever title! Love it!
I absolutely love it as much as you do! I really want one of those in my kitchen. I think I called them “apron” sinks, but it’s good to know “farmhouse” is what they’re really called.
Very cool find Kim!! I went through a slight addiction to the “Free” section on Craig’s list…my husband wasn’t happy. 😉 This is a quite a treasure!! Can’t wait to see it in the final kitchen.
Umm, amazing! I love it and cannot wait to see it in the kitchen – you know, when the kitchen exists 🙂
Great find lady… I love it!
I do I do! Awesome find. I swear, a good CL find can put me on a high for dayyyys. And high fives to the hub for finding it!
WOW! Great find!!! I swear, people find the best stuff on CL. I look at our CL whenever I remember and it’s always old armchairs or free puppies. Bummer. Can’t wait to see what this looks like in your kitchen. 🙂
