Beautiful custom metal sinks

Art Attack Thursday!

Jeff Downing, of Downing Designs in Florida, told me about their gorgeous concrete sinks that have a copper patina.  The Leaf Sinks are molded from actual Bird-of-Paradise leaves and other exotic leaves.   They are custom sized to fit any vanity base, as well as double Leaf Sink vanities.

The inside of the sink basin is coated with copper and then oxidized with various solutions to achieve the spectacular results. The patina is sealed to arrest further change in the color attained. The finishes offered are Blue-Green and Dark Brown.  Each results in a unique result…many are reminiscent of the colorful autumn leaves of New England.
