The "Dainty" Sink Dilema

As a designer you have an idea of the ideal sink for the project.  But, what happens when the sink just isn't quite dainty enough? All is well until you can't find a delicate vessel sink.  What constitutes a "dainty" sink anyway? (answer: waiting for client response)

I didn't realize that picking out the sink would be such a headache, "welcome to being a designer", my team says... I like it better when its smooth sailing! No snags, no problems  & no worries.

After showing the client 8 different sinks I'm now trying to narrow down the style.  One would think that there's only so many designs out there... maybe its a custom piece.

Is it glass, stone or porcelain?

Maybe its shaped like a delicate little flower... Client is a gardener, she'll love it... maybe not, she's not sold.

Perhaps the perfect sink is vintage inspired and crackled...  No still not "the one", the design has too much red.

What if we recreate the vessel sink without the red?  What if we commission an artist to hand paint a design that is just perfect? What if. (Answer: waiting for client response)





Can you see it? The perfect sink, the perfect powder bath, the perfect design.


'Tis the dilemma.






EUREKA! A SINK HAS BEEN FOUND! YAY! 
What do y'all think?
