Plumbing Supply Birmingham AL | Fall in Love with Farmhouse Sinks

VW Gallerie at V&W Supply Company

If you're looking for a transformation piece for your kitchen consider 

a farmhouse sink, sometimes referred to as an apron front sink.

From utility to luxury the farmhouse sink is no longer a thing of the past and design possibilities are endless.


Farmhouse sinks have gained in popularity over the past few years thanks to interior designers and kitchen design Pinterest boards but really they're nothing new.

Farmhouse style sinks originated from Ireland and Great Britain in the 17th century, when running water was a commodity. The purpose of the large sink was to hold water fetched from nearby wells.


Times have changed and today most people aren't interested in saving every drop of water in the sink. So now it's not about need but instead the character and charm these sinks bring to the decor.



The sleek appearance of a farmhouse sink makes them incredibly versatile. The sinks come in many designs, textures and colors which means they look great installed in modern kitchens, industrial-style kitchens, even rustic or beachy kitchens.
