Slop sink for the Butler's pantry

Morning Darlins, welcome to saturday morning! 
We are having Santa Ana winds here in So Cal.. 

Only one word for it HOT*** 

I know the beaches will be standing room only!! The cinema sounds like a plan for this afternoon, where it is cool...

Last week I started looking for the vintage linens I had in mind for a apron skirt under the vintage sink in the butler's pantry. I wanted to see what might fit etc.
 Well...that lead to completely taking every thing out of the housekeeping cabinet to find them. What a project that turned out to be!

 I found them!

I found this oversized European vintage slop sink in Los Angeles in an Architectural Salvage store. 

I saw it sitting on the floor and fell in love with it.

 I love the curves of it, one sink is deeper than the other.

 It is huge and very heavy..

Knowing I had a vision of a large scale sink for the butler's pantry, I had to have i!

 It is centered under the new french windows...

The sink will go through a restoration process. 

I can't wait to see it finished... all shiny, clean, white and the perfect piece for this space.

I'm hunting hardware now, I need two back mount faucets, I love plumbing hardware too... it is the jewelry for the piece!

  I think I am leaning towards this vintage eyelet piece... It is actually a old slip/skirt circa 1900, used to go under a lady's riding skirt. It is 4' wide allowing for a nice gather...

I can't wait to infuse Lavender into the water when I'm hand washing vintage linens like these,

in my restored little gem!!!
