Idea House in Narragansett, Rhode Island

FIRST FLOOR LAUNDRY ROOM

Tucked away off the kitchen is a well-organized and hard-working laundry room.  

 

Equally diligent is the Heritage Wall-Mount Faucet from American Standard. Its efficient, high-arc design and porcelain lever handles are the perfect complement to craftsman design. The American Standard Country Kitchen Sink becomes a focal point in crisp white vitreous china. High backsplash accommodates the wall-mount faucet while deep, oversized bowl offers practicality, and charming apron front commands presence in a busy household.

Just as artful is the American Standard Celerity Vessel Sink in high-gloss vitreous china.
