Our friend, Amy, over at Maison De Mings recently renovated her kitchen with one of our new Bradstreet fireclay farmhouse sinks from Sinkology and she has been so grateful to share her collaboration story for the full story behind a fireclay renovation.
Hi friends! If you’ve been following along, you know that we have been renovating the home we just purchased over the last few months. When we first looked at this home, I loved how open the kitchen was and all the cabinet storage and countertop space it offered, but it was a bit outdated and definitely didn’t fit our style. I told my husband my only “must have” was a farmhouse sink. We also agreed that the maroon countertops had to go.
Kitchen Before
My husband and I are very visual people so I put together a design board to incorporate all our ideas for the kitchen renovation.
As you can see, we planned to lighten up the room and add some French Country charm to make it more inviting. We’ve always spent a lot of time in the kitchen and now that we are finally back “home,” I knew we would be having friends and family over on a regular basis.
I’m planning to do a full kitchen “before” and “after” blog post soon, but today I wanted to go ahead and share about my favorite addition to the space – my farmhouse sink!!
If you’ve been following me for very long on social media, I’m sure you’ve already seen my glorious farmhouse sink from Sinkology. You guys, I am so in love! For today’s post though, I want to take you behind the scenes back to when the sink was delivered and how we installed it.
The day the sink was delivered it was lightly snowing in Southern Illinois.
We decided to get new quartz countertops in the kitchen so before we installed the sink, we removed the old laminate countertops and stainless sink.
Our contractor friend, Gary Roberts, assisted us with building a base for the undermount sink as shown below.
Once the base was built, we brought in the farmhouse sink. Gary did an excellent job and the sink was a perfect fit!
At this point in the renovation process, we were just getting started. We still had to paint the cabinets and install flooring, countertops, appliances and the faucet.
I mentioned above the farmhouse sink was by Sinkology, but it actually came as an all-in-one kit with Pfister rustic bronze faucet and drain. It’s available for purchase at Home Depot. Click here to view.

Once we had the new flooring installed and cabinets primed, I started to see my designs come to life.
