We sprung a leak!!

Our old, builder grade, ugly, utility sink sprung a leak a few weeks ago YIPEE!! Yes that's right I was happy about that, because that was a good reason for me to go out and get a prettier one:)
 I checked Home Depot and Lowes and they only carried the basic ones in the store, so I checked online and found this pretty one on the Lowes website.
 Look at her pretty legs.

 
 It has a nice deep sink and a long neck faucet which is great for filling pails and cleaning things out. We use this sink a lot, especially after we come in from gardening.




 You'll usually find Toby in here too taking a nap:)

Stay tuned... more changes to come, just trying to decide a paint color!

  3. Oh gosh, that is so much nicer than the one that came with our condo, Martina! We wound up taking ours out entirely because we weren't using it and it was just taking up valuable space in the area.

  9. We have the basic on in our utility room and I use it to clean paint brushes and give Bailey a bath. Your new one is nice.

  11. Hi Martina! Oh, this is such a pretty thing and you're surely not going to dirty it up are you? :) Don't you love it when our oldies break down. Especially the ones we don't like! :)
    You did good.
    Be a sweetie,

  12. That's the prettiest utility sink I have ever seen. I have a few things I am hoping will break too so that I can replace them with something nicer.

  13. WOW, what a great looking utility sink. The cabinet is gorgeous and I couldn't help admiring the gorgeous tiles on the wall. Thanks for sharing your information. I'm getting ready to replace washer and dryer and it may just be the time to go for this too………..

  15. Sometimes it's a blessing when something breaks. :-)
    Your new sink and cabinet look great, especially with the cute little feet on the bottom.
