It is always interesting to imagine how the upper crust of society must live.
While looking for a mere 32 inch kitchen sink the remodeling people showed me the link to this ultimate work station sink combination.
A 5 foot long kitchen sink in a home kitchen? That is incredible. The Island blows me away also. Everything about the website kind of reminds me that -- well --there is definitely another class of folks out there money/house wise.
The Dresser just completely boggles my mind.
And, every body has "golly gee" smiles just meltin ya away. Even the young feller is smilin hugely as he is cuttin a vege-table. Yes, I want one, yup things’ll be wunnerful, with dew drops in yer hair, "yeah brother".

We looked at the same stuff and were equally incredulous. A 3 person sink? Really? If you can afford it, I have a suspicion you aren't actually using it!
It’s beautiful, but I make such a mess when I cook sometimes that I’d be cleaning it the rest of the day. Besides if life has taught me one thing it’s, just because something is beautiful doesn’t mean it would be great to have.
If not cooking outdoors, I am cooking on the stovetop with my 14" carbon steel wok, 12" CI skillet, or in the oven with my two Lodge CI pizza pans, or two dutch ovens. I've also got a nifty Lodge carbon steel grill pan that rocks for veggies outdoors.
Man, some people just have too much money apparently!
That sink system looks cool and all, but I guess I am having trouble understanding the pictures where most of the time, very little of the sink is actually exposed, and about 2/3 of it is covered with inserts to turn the sink into.... more counter space basically, for serving food off it.
The Neenan Company Showroom actually has 2 of those faucets on display. 1 in chrome, and 1 in what my Husband called candy apple black. The black is an absolutely beautiful finish that is hard to describe without seeing it in person. The pulley system on those faucets is unbelievably smooth which I guess would be an expectation.
The showroom is on the outskirts of a VERY exclusive neighborhood with very old and very new money in it.
Patrick Mahomes and George Brett both have condos there.
Mahomes and his wife shopped this showroom when they outfitted their mansion in KC.
I am a blue jeans and t shirt kind of person and wasn't sure I would fit in BUT felt right at home in there. Greeted at the door by 2 of the most beautiful friendly Labrador retriever's I have ever met, and the salespeople are the only dressed for success people in the store. It is a strange place but so much fun to shop in.
Edit to note. I LOVE shopping there because it is a mix of affordable and outrageous. I LOVE looking at the outrageous but mostly stick with affordable. My Husband would be the one to take the pocket book away from as he is an impulse shopper. Maybe not $50K plus for a kitchen sink and faucet impulsive buyer but he has kind of shocked me in the past with his wish list and purchases.
You've noted why we pedestrian types enjoy those sorts of playpens. It's akin to the Lottery Ticket fantasizing that many engage in, dreaming of how they'll spend that fortune when it falls in their lap. Fun stuff that............
Uncle Bob truthfully? My slight trip into the world of building/remodeling fantasy was more than satisfied with the small project we are currently engaged in.
I can't imagine doing it from scratch on a scale of unlimited funds that some people seem to have at their disposal. I would be stuck in place with no chance of furnishing, outfitting with unlimited funds.
