2. Sink into Style

The star’s kitchen exudes timeless charm with a farmhouse sink and classic faucet pairing. Opt for a self-trimming, single-bowl sink crafted from durable white cast iron for a similar aesthetic. Complete the look with a faucet featuring diamond seal technology, known for reducing leak points, easy installation, and a lifespan twice that of the industry standard.
