Cool Sink

By Brian Vanden Brink

This beautiful powder room sink was salvaged from a chemistry lab and is made of soapstone. The surrounding cabinet is made of old metal, stripped of its paint, leaving an interesting wood-like patina. The shelf to the left of the sink is a piece of left over counter top from the kitchen and is made of honed Irish stone. A great combination of materials and creativity. The builder was Houses and Barns by John Libby of Freeport, Maine. The house is also in Maine.
