Sinking feeling

I want a drainboard sink!  I have wanted one since I was a child.  I don't know why I love them so much, but I have always thought they were lovely and very practical.  Now that we have our farmhouse, I have been looking for one.

I loved this reproduction!

Here is a vintage one:

Just $1450!

I am very cheap. I will wait it out to find the best deal and then work on getting it cheaper. I took to craigslist and found a couple of great deals and I was working on getting one guy down to $75 on a sink like the vintage one above. On the same day I was going to go and buy the sink, my husband and I were clearing out around our barn that is partially torn down.  He found this under a bunch of old lumber:

The date on the bottom is 1954.  I was so excited!  It is a little bent and nicked up, but it is in very good condition otherwise and will be my kitchen sink come next spring.  SCORE!
