Laundry room sink installed

The old laundry room showing the original sink in the counter top (and the old finish on the cabinets):


The old laundry room sink was too small and nasty to re-use. We decided to go with the largest sink we could fit, which was a Kohler kitchen sink turned sideways, since the limiting dimension was the depth of the counter top.

The sink is cast iron, so Zac had to re-inforce the counter top to support the weight of the sink before it could be installed. This shows the finished re-inforcement. We also installed a new Pegasus faucet in oil-rubbed bronze.
This was the old plastic plumbing that was under the sink:

It was removed and replaced with chrome-plated brass:

We also added a trash can that mounts to the cabinet door.
Here is the new sink installed. The drain is also oil-rubbed bronze. The black finish matches the kitchen sink.The new sink compared to the old sink.

And this is the sink and counter in the completed laundry area. Above the sink will be a bar for hanging clothes that require hang drying.
