The hunt: sink salvaged!
I took a drive this morning down to Roy Vaccaro’s iron yard next to the Lowe’s parking lot in Brooklyn. I had my sights set on a beautiful little register cover that Scott had vetoed on our last trip (more on that register cover in another post). But I ended up bringing home this pristine [...]
