If you’re on the lookout for a drop-in drainboard sink for your vintage kitchen remodel, we’ve just spotted some new options for you to consider. The sinks come in a variety of configurations, materials and colors. With more and more options on the market today, there hasn’t been this kind of selection for decades.
Up until recently, Nelson’s has offered two models of drainboard, farmhouse style sinks, authentic reproductions of vintage originals now available in acrylic. We’ve just learned that they’ve since added two more models — both variations on their original offerings — bringing their total styles of reproduction drainboard sinks available up to four. The first new model — a variation on their 1940s drainboard sink — has double drainboards and a central sink and sells for $790 with free shipping.
Nelson’s second new sink model is a midcentury style single bowl drainboard sink with integral backsplash — modeled from an original back in the day design. It sells for $695 with free shipping. Lovely!

How do I purchase the Cor Stone Wakefield sink?
Pam Kueber says
Alas, it looks like these are no longer made. See this news story >> https://www.wsfa.com/story/29435916/greenvilles-corstone-industries-closing-its-doors/
I will remove them from this story.

These all are great on design, but very skimpy on depth. Any idea about anybody making deep, 2-bowl sinks with a retro look?
Pam Kueber says
Kohler Delafield with hudee is the #1 go-to choice here https://amzn.to/2KaRJ7l (affiliate link)
Also you can go vintage

While the sinks are BEAUTIFUL, please remember, they are acrylic…DO NOT put a hot pan in the sink as we are all accustomed to doing…a friend of mind purchased one and within two weeks of having it without thinking took a pot off the stove and put it in the sink…not good….she now has a decorative type privet over the burn spot….I think I will stick with the cast iron version myself…
Pam Kueber says
Ummm… I would not put a hot pan on anything except perhaps stainless steel without a hotpad underneath!
Barbara says
The ‘Itty Bitty sink is exactly what I’m looking for for my bathroom. vintage style but not huge. We already have the cabinetry to set it, an old vintage cupboard w/storage and 6-8 inches around the sink for toothbrush holders etc.
