My flow of sink puns has dried up, so in the spirit of *Monday* let’s just get on with it already. THREE sinks. ONE choice.
I feel like I should also mention that I’ve personally contacted every homeowner to ask for permission before posting these. And they all said “fuck no” so uh... be cool guys. Just. Be. Cool.
Okay, we’ve got some interesting ones today, and one from last week because I feel like it deserved a place on Sink or Swim.

1. No
2. No
3. Hell no

You’re new mission—if you choose to take it—is to mix and match until you create a suitable hand washing station

I do like the first set of lights. Not that I would/could buy them.
Sinks though... all I see is more cleaning. But again, your customers probably don’t clean anything themselves. That’s what the help is for.

Agreed on the lights. On both counts.
My ideal sink is basically one of those massive unattached garage/laundry room sinks that’s a foot deep with a super high flow faucet. Removing the eco flow-inhibitor parts from my faucet was the best house mod I’ve done yet

Can I just get paid for this, and stop doing the actual window washing

I’ll go with the first one. Because I’ve used ones like that in faunshey restaurants. The others no.

Man those ecoflow things blow. I thought my faucet was broken when I first bought it.

Putting that fancy spout on that plain white oval sink is like putting 18k gold plated trim on your Dodge Neon.
And I hate raised bowl sinks.

I almost like number 3, that’s the only one I can imagine using.

I try not to make the decision TOO easy.
Picture a glass sphere, about a foot across sitting on a bathroom counter. Now put two holes in the sphere, large enough to stick your hands in. That’s a sink in a particular clients home. It’s basically the final form of all these raised bowl sinks.

Well I guess it would control splattering. I’d hate to be the maid who cleans it. And how do you spit?

Nope nope nope. Third one isn’t bad, but raised vessel sinks are not ergonomic and a biatch to clean around. And the spouts with the little “channel” on top are horrid — they don’t aerate the water for max cleaning, plus after a few months to a year you’ll have nice little calcium and lime stains for everyone to see.
I’m just too practical. I like form AND function. My kids’ bathroom. Simple, modern, elegant, functional, easy to clean (ironically filthy):

I like vessel sinks enough to accept the tradeoffs but otherwise agree with everything you just said. Realistically though I’d settle for a high flow faucet and a countertop that’s tall enough to be used without bending myself in half

I begrudgingly choose #3, but truthfully hate them all.

I want #3, but only if I can put it in bathroom #1 because the #1 lights are neat and the counter’s bigger but I’d make a huge mess every time I shaved if I had the sink.

If I can’t wash my hair under it, it’s too shallow!

I don’t think any thought was put into it other than “make it unique”

Oh man. Getting a taste of my own medicine! Okay... The first one is a bit plain for my tastes but it’s way better than the cheap constructor-grade bathrooms I see in 80's apartments fairly often. Like my own, which desperately needs a bathroom remodal.
The second one I kind of like the metal tiles assuming it’s a work in progress and not just randomly stopping a third of the way across the countertop.
The third one... No. Are the drains off-center or are the bowls just super thick? I’ll go with #1 because the other two look kinda difficult to actually wash my hands in

Bowel, faucet, handles from #3 with bathroom from #1. That’s my choice too. Great minds think alike, or something

I’ll find you a sink to get excited about. Just wait

I pretty much agree with you on all counts, including ease of hand-washing. The third one I just took at a weird angle so my dumb face wasn’t in the mirror, it’s all nicely centered but you’re right, the bowls are quite thick. They’re plenty big enough for hand washing but the faucet is dangerous for face washing—perhaps not ideal for a master bath but at least it’s all pleasantly high up for a tall person. If the glass bowl was easier to keep clean I think I’d like it the best I’d the three—nice wide usable bowl.
The metal tiles are actually just a sample for a kitchen backsplash, but they wouldn’t look out of place in that bathroom either.

#2 is the only semi-usable one, as bowl sinks must dieeeeeeee.
Seriously, I’ve lost too much crap in that under-sink space with stupid bowl sinks that I just want to find whoever thinks they’re still cute and crop-dust them after a big pot of beans. Nothing brings out more rage than the stupid bowl sink trend. Nothing. Sinks are not bowls for a reason!!!

#1 is the only usable sink of those three.
