Farmhouse Sink Vanity and Cabinet

December 5, 2014

La Fuente Imports is well-known for our handcrafted one-of-a-kind furniture. Our cover collection is growing in popularity and is fast becoming a favorite, colorful way to accent your home! We have a variety of furniture pieces in this collection that will work for any room! However, if you had to just pick one, our Farmhouse Sink and Vanity Cabinet Combination Set is the perfect choice!

The Farmhouse Sink and Vanity Cabinet, like all of our other pieces, is constructed from reclaimed wood mostly, and materials that are salvaged from old homes and buildings. The reclaimed wood has great character that you just do not find in newer wood. The grain and color are so rich and take on any finish that you apply very well!

Continuing in the repurposing theme, the copper used in this collection of furniture is recycled as well. The colors are rich and consist of reds, browns, oranges, and other subtle tones and highlights that make the sink absolutely majestic. They are hand fired and applied directly on the copper before application to the furniture. The sink looks unique because all of the copper is hammered by hand. The artisans know how to complete the process in order to provide optimal space and depth. Furthermore, the hammering process is critical to preserving the appearance and wear of the copper over time. Finally, it is sealed with a paste wax that further protects the piece from damage. In short, all of our materials are carefully revived and refinished to last for years.

The farmhouse sink vanity and cabinet is one of our larger pieces found in our various furniture collections and is a two part piece. This lends to versatility since you can place the cabinets on either side of the sink vanity. It is always better to have a few different configuration options in a piece of furniture when you can get it, right? You could separate the cabinet and sink vanity into two separate pieces that would complement one another in the same room. Since the reclaimed wood comes in a variety of finish options, which range from a light wood finish to mixed shades of blue and red, you can choose the best color for the piece to really bring your space to life!

The vanity is 72" x 27". It stands 34 inches high (which is the perfect height for any bathroom or wet bar area). The cabinet is 27" x 25" and it stands at a height of 84 inches. As for storage, well no worries here! There are six cabinets in the vanity alone. The cabinet houses four doors and two drawers. Each drawer and door face is adorned with a beautiful copper panel. The over-sized farmhouse sink and counter top are made from that beautiful hand hammered copper . The firing of the copper before it is applied adds a muted element that gives the sink a "statement piece" look. The faucet holes are not pre-drilled so it will accommodate just about any faucet you choose.

The farmhouse with sink vanity and cabinet would be a beautiful piece that would create a unique bathroom. It could be used in other spaces as well. It would be a nice focal point for a Butler's pantry or wet bar. You could even add a second cabinet for a more dramatic look or combine finish options for a truly one of a kind statement piece. The variety of finishes and display options, make this piece a welcome addition to any home. If you are looking for a stylish and unique way to furnish your home, this piece has your name all over it.
