Fireclay Farmhouse Sink Review: The Pros and Cons from Ty at Little Home Reloved

Our friends at Little Home Reloved took part in the One Room Challenge several months ago. In this challenge, twenty design bloggers work to transform a room and document their process over a 6-week period. Ty installed a Bradstreet fireclay farmhouse sink from Sinkology and shes’ here to give you the Pros and Cons of our fireclay farmhouse sinks.
Our kitchen is the most used space in our home. When remodeling my husband’s grandparents’ 1950s cottage, I wanted a timeless farmhouse sink. After living with our fireclay sink for six months, I’m happy to share the biggest pros and cons we’ve noticed.
Here’s a little reminder of what the space looked like before.

I thought I wanted a vintage cast iron sink, but after research, I found they are expensive and hard to maintain. Our cottage kitchen lacks space for a dishwasher, and sometimes the dishes don’t get washed right away.

I didn’t want to worry about our dishes scratching the surface so was really excited to find out fireclay sinks are not only easy to keep clean and care for, but are also chips, stain, crack and rust resistant!

The little ones often forget to rinse the sink after emptying dishes, but everything washes off easily with a natural cleaner and scrub brush!
One of our biggest concerns was losing a double sink. I will admit it took a little getting used to, but now I love how the large area can hold just about anything.

We have already used ours to clean everything from little ones to ducklings. Not to mention washing produce and dinner cleanup is now a breeze with the Pfister pull down faucet included in the all-in-one kit.
One downfall I have noticed is if you don’t rinse the sink daily things tend get stuck in the corners. The Pfister pull down faucet can easily send all that down the drain so that hasn’t been a huge issue for us.

Our all-in-one kit included a metal grid that sits at the bottom of our sink. It helps keep dishes off the sink itself. I love that it allows you to rinse the bottom of the sink without having to empty it first!

Overall, we have loved living with our sink. Our major concerns with switching to a farmhouse-style sink were easily solved with Sinkology’s fireclay options. It creates a classic look without the upkeep needed for a vintage sink.
