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 😭

This living room has been so many things to us sin This living room has been so many things to us since we moved in (including the distinction of being the first space we made over, and over). It’s also been a space that evolved with us as our needs changed. And now, while we plan what the next one will look like, I wonder if it’ll have a marble fireplace... probably not.

My boo @tmoorehome has been sharing and uplifting My boo @tmoorehome has been sharing and uplifting people around her for years. It’s one of the many reasons we’re real life friends. Her design is clean, bold, and evolves with each house they make a home. If you know exactly who you are and what you’re about, she is one very worthwhile follow. Her meme game is pretty strong too.

JB in her happy place✨ AD: JB LOVES her @wiwiurk JB in her happy place✨ AD: JB LOVES her @wiwiurka_toys triangle (in sunset) and ramp. From the moment we assembled it, she was all over it. We use it to make blanket forts, set obstacle courses, entertain Tina 🐓 , and just hang out on it. It’s kinda the perfect toddler toy.

I know you all love colour as much as I do, so whe I know you all love colour as much as I do, so when I asked @itscarlabethany if I could share a few frames of her home with you guys, I knew it would be a perfect fit. We’ve both got a few of the same pieces, and we both love bold textiles and wallpaper. She’s got her own spin on them, and the cutest sidekick in town - Maybeline (swipe to see). Do yourself a favour and go give her a follow!
