Must-Have When Building or Remodeling a Home: A Beautiful Sink

Move over stainless. There’s a new sink in town!

The heart and soul of the kitchen belongs to the kitchen sink and I’m drawn to the beautiful, granite-like composite sinks that come in many neutral colors. They are rock-hard durable and heat, scratch, and stain-resistant. Being made of porous natural stone, they do require a little regular maintenance: cleaning with a mild cleanser and protecting them with mineral oil keeps them looking like new. Whether you’re preparing food, cleaning up after a meal, or simply washing your dishes and utensils, it’s important to choose a sink that fits the way you live and adds a bit of personality to your home.
