The designers at Novanni have produced an entertaining and useful take on the kitchen sink with this gem. The Avado (EFT402211) stainless steel top mount sink has a super long shallow basin that empties below into an extremely large bowl below. Grandma's caserole dish could get lost in there! And how fun is the drain tray? Look out though; a minimum cabinet size of 45" is required!

Novanni has some great add don accessories for most of their kitchen sinks as well like the the Removable Dish Rack (LKWRB1316SS), or the Hardwood Chopping Board with 5" Stainless Steel Mesh Removable Strainer (CBS1316).

Meanwhile, Franke Sinks have also upped the ante with this hard working Cullinary Work Center Sink (CWX161-D)! This sink mean serious business when it comes to all of your possible sink needs. Included with this sink are accessories like a measuring bowl, steel colander, and tempered glass cutting board, but there are so many other accessories available like higher and lower steel grids and more.

Prep sinks just make sense. A larger kitchen with an island often call for additional access to plumbing so you can easily prep your next meal. The Crevasse Prep Sink by Kohler is a wonderful choice; at just 8 1/8" total width, it doesn't take up much space! Now the first thing I thought of when I saw this sink was: where is the faucet? Don't they usually display an accompanying bar faucet so we can visualize using it? Oh but they are!

Now look at that, not only does the sink use less space horizontally, but vertically as well! It is fully equipped with Cychronus Rinsing Technology that streams water from one end of the trough style prep sink to the drain on the lower end (which connects to garbage disposals for ridding of prep and food refuse). At just the touch of an inventive little button, well done Kohler.

This well balanced kitchen by Caroline Decesare is quite thoughtful in its design. The first thing I notice is the strong look of the coffered ceilings, and wonderfully, the pendant light fixtures are spaced on four corners that place them directly over their respective island task areas.  The double islands allow the chef to prepare and entertain easily with a prep sink at the outer-most island, which has seating for guests. They can probably join in helping prepare meals without getting underfoot. The larger sink is located in the heart of the kitchen, so dishes are not on the "entertaining island". Well done.

Clive Christian is a company for luxury homes of the world. This luxury kitchen is decked out with light painted cabinetry and many pieces of richly carved corbels and scrolled details. With such a large and open room, you can have auxiliary features such as the two ornate display cabinets with niches for limestone sculptures. Because nothing says excess like a kitchen that also serves as an art exhibition. Oh the vanity!
But I love it.


The heritage look of this cuisine is accomplished with heavy oak framed doors and latch style door hardware. The floating island in the center lessens the heaviness of the darker wood color and thick graining. I particularly like how the angle of the corbelled footings are mirrored in the marble countertop.  


This kitchen is another Clive Christian showpiece. See the repetitive patterns and symmetry? The darker stained wood accents above the range and sink add visual interest. There are Clive Christian locations worldwide, and a VIP Design Service located in England.
