An Outdated Kitchen Gets a Loving DIY Makeover

Step 6: Calling in the Pros -- One of the most striking things in our kitchen is the huge terracotta sink made by the Brooklyn-based Charles Graham Chemical Pottery Works around the turn of the 20th century. We’d bought the sink in upstate New York before we started working on the kitchen. Installing the sink was quick work for our plumber, who also fabricated a faucet out of copper pipes to fit the irregularly wide span between the knobs. When it comes to skilled trades like plumbing and electrical it’s always better to hire a pro! Photo by Manuel Rodriguez
