Our BLANCO LIVEN Laundry Sink

April 22, 2020~ dream house, home & living, Laundry Room

This past fall when we put in our laundry room & mud room, we added a super necessary laundry/utility sink. In our previous set-up, we didn’t have one! I showed you guys a little of it last fall, but I was waiting to have lived with the BLANCO LIVEN & POSH for a while, before showcasing them fully. 

*BLANCO sponsored this post, but all thoughts are my own.  Thank you for supporting the brands that make PMQ for two possible.

We've got the BLANCO LIVEN Laundry sink in our home, and love it. Combined with the POSH faucet, we can do just about anything a sink to do!

BLANCO LIVEN Laundry Sink

Every house really needs a laundry/utility sink. Think about where you want to pre-soak laundry, wash paint brushes, clean mops, water plants etc. I could do different things in our existing sinks, but what I really wanted a sink that could catch all those tasks without taking another essential space out of commission. I can’t go a full day without my kitchen or bathroom sinks.

We went with BLANCO’s LIVEN for a few reasons: 

  • Liven laundry sinks are proudly made in Canada
  • Generous 12″ bowl depth
  • Made of SILGRANIT
  • Can be installed as an undermount or a drop-in

I can easily leave items to soak in there, and frequently have large items like bath towels, bed sheets etc. Textiles can never be too clean!

 

 

BLANCO SILGRANIT

You’ll recall, we used a BLANCO sink in our retro kitchen. That sink was made from SILGRANIT, and it has held up remarkably well to staining and use over the past year (watch for that post soon). 

SILGRANIT is:

  • a high-quality granite composite
  • Heat, scratch and stain resistant
  • Non-porous surface is food-safe and easy to clean

This means it holds up well to craft clean-up, like rinsing paint brushes, cleaning supplies, and more.

and the handy sink rack means I can leave things like brushes, sponges, and scrubbers, to dry without taking-up counter-space.

BLANCO POSH Faucet

It’s kind of a no-brainer that we would use a BLANCO faucet to go with a BLANCO sink. We chose the POSH because it came in white (to match the LIVEN), and because of its features:

  • Pull-out, insulated handspray with dual selectable spray patterns
  • 160° swivel for optimal range of motion
  • Solid brass construction

As you saw in the video, it means I can move it around to fit bigger items like house plants in the sink, or even when bathing June, to make sure she doesn’t hit her head.

What can you use a laundry or utility sink for?

Not that it really needs to be listed, but you can use the BLANCO LIVEN for so so so many things in combination with the POSH:

  • laundry pre-soak
  • hand washing delicates
  • washing paint brushes and rollers
  • cleaning-off shoes
  • filling (emptying) mop buckets
  • cleaning mops and brooms
  • watering house plants
  • filling big watering cans
  • baby bath time!
  • extra bar sink during parties (fill with ice and drinks)
  • washing a small dog or other small hosuehold animal
  • stripping household textiles
  • dying fabrics

The list goes on! Do you have a laundry room sink? Tell me what you use it for, if it’s not listed here.

    HI- FROM READING your post, it looks like you purchased the sink and cabinet separately- can you please let us know which cabinet and countertop you installed as well?

    Thank you!

      hello! We used a hampton bay cabinet from Home Depot. It came with a rinkydink sink, we didn’t even install that part.
      As for the countertop, we used a left-over end of a desktop that I had purchased from IKEA. Hope this helps! apologies for the delay

    Doesn’t having a nice big sink make such a difference?! Looks so good in your laundry room. And June makes everything cuter 😭

I am this week’s feature on the @littleyellowcou I am this week’s feature on the @littleyellowcouch podcast and I gotta say - FAN 👏🏻 GIRL 👏🏻 MOMENT. I had been listening since there were 2 hosts, and really got into it when I went full time with the blog during our first year posted to Gagetown. I found my colourful voice, and started making things like this beautiful glossy blue sideboard. 
There wasn’t really anyone else doing “colour” my way in the decor space at that time (everything was white farmhouse). And while there are definitely many more who do it now (and who do it better!), I’ll never forget the freedom I felt when no one was watching what I did. It has been so incredibly bittersweet watching new accounts lap me in a matter of months (and oh so humbling), but I like to think I’m exactly where I need to be. 
My growth has been slow by today’s standards, and I’m ok with it. I still get to do what I love. 
So, if you’ve been following me since then, the very beginning, or last week - stick around! Let’s see what the next stage is like.

JB’s Montessori playroom is looking pretty good, JB’s Montessori playroom is looking pretty good, especially now that all the Christmas decor is gone. Bear in mind, this is what it looks like before a child has actually had a chance to play in it 😂

I think we’ve all been feeling a little powerles I think we’ve all been feeling a little powerless these days, but @laybabylay made a great point in her stories the other day: you can always do something nice. You can buy the order of the person in line behind you at the drivethru. You can donate to charitable organizations doing things you believe in. You can make a meal for your neighbour who might be having a hard time with lockdown. It’s amazing how much better I feel when I do something nice, and I bet you will too ❤️

“Life is what happens when you’re busy making “Life is what happens when you’re busy making other plans” - John Lennon. 😎 As a family who moves a lot, we’re ready for a new chapter/ new house, but I’m not sure if I’ll be able to leave all the memories! We brought June home here 😭 she learned to walk here, and said her first words here. I wonder what other “firsts” she’ll have before we move. [pictured, June in a messy kitchen last year]
