The main sink is from Blanco, with a large, deep side and a smaller one on the right. The disposal will be under the right side, but we have not installed it yet while we learn how to live with a septic tank.

The island is two levels, with the higher one correct height for a breakfast bar. It also allows us to elevate the dishwasher about 6", which makes it much more pleasant to use. If you have never tried it you should, and you will never bend over to the floor again.

The top of the island has marble tiles for the upper surface, while the lower has granite matching the main counters.

Both sinks are from Blanco, and are made of silgranite, which I think is a man made substance. They are easy to clean, and remain good looking after several months of use. The bar faucet is also from Blanco. I learned a surprising thing about this bar faucet which may be common, I do not know. It only accepts one supply hose, so you have either cold or hot water, but not both. It has not been a problem, since this sink is used for beverages and cleaning vegetables, but it was a surprise. One of the hazards of purchasing things on the Internet, I guess.
