(10 days to possession)
We had our first casualty today and I’m holding up surprisingly well. The farmhouse sink got cut. I fell in love with the style when starting the apartment design plan – and now, heartbreak. Everyone send death stares Paolo’s way.
Back (briefly) to acting my age: We’ve got a set budget. Of our savings, X went to the down payment and Y (a smaller, perhaps lower case ‘y’) is set aside for our total overhaul…with eyes-on-the-prize attention to adding value to an apartment.
- New floor
- New bathroom
- New kitchen
- …new-as-much-as-we-can-possibly-make-our-budget-stretch
To keep profits (hopefully healthy ones) in tact, we have to make our renovation budget go as far as possible. Blah, blah, blah & other reasons being a responsible adult sucks. Already, this approach is requiring us (ok, just me) to break up with things-we-really-love and want to adopt and take home. The farmhouse sink is sunk.
Maybe a disguised blessing – yet another way to simplify renovation plans? True or not: Paolo – you’re taking me out for a drink.

Hey, you want a s'more? Some more of what?
Don’t give up on your farmhouse sink yet — exhaust all possibilities first!! Namely, do lots of searching online. The sink we bought for our kitchen would have cost $700 here. We bought it online from a store in the US for $400.
And if you find your sink at the right price in the US but they don’t deliver to Canada, not to worry — there’s a simple solution to that problem

The Good Idea Parade comes through again! I hadn’t thought of online just because they’re so heavy – seemed S&H would be a nightmare. With your sage advice, the farmhouse sink is, very happily, unsunk. Thanks as always Kelly!
