Not a white box
We were so lucky to find a 100 year old English belfast / butlers sink, it is so deep and heavy, perfect for the laundry. We sat it on a Queensland maple shelf between black cabinetry and black granite tops. The exposed copper pipework picks up the copper flecks of the granite. The other side of the laundry has floor to ceiling wood cabinetry, washing machine and drier and more black granite.
