I would leave the old paint on it it’s part of the history. I love your dry sink the way it is. ❤

[@1824walkerfarmhouse]

I can't decide, lol!

[@saraolszewski4799]

Love, love, love rhubarb! Looks delicious 😋

[@1824walkerfarmhouse]

Thank you 😋 I'll make us some when I get more rhubarb!

[@sherrywaddell3450]

I LOVE the dry sink just like it is!! I wouldn't change a thing on it. ALL that character is BEAUTIFUL!! THANK YOU FOR SHARING!!

[@1824walkerfarmhouse]

Thank you so much!

[@annshanks5862]

I love the dry sink! I would leave it alone! So much character!

[@1824walkerfarmhouse]

I am so undecided, lol!

[@robinrhea6125]

The paint is part of the history, too...

[@1824walkerfarmhouse]

Yes, what to do, what to do, lol!

[@suzannewille4568]

Ron and Sarah know you the best! The chunky logs will keep your days filled with your orders for projects and hearth memories! We Love our Zionsville, PA Morgan auctioneer auctions for filling our antique booths and bidding at our favorite Amish charity auctions in Reedsville, PA for handmade quilts and antique rough and tumble farm machinery- You introduced us to Meghan when you featured her Farmhouse Supply shop- we made a “pilgrimage” to her store in Linesville last summer and asked her the same question 😊

[@1824walkerfarmhouse]

Thank you for your comments and following along. Auctions can be a great place for antique finds. We love your end of the state as well. Yes, Ron and Sara do know us and we are so grateful for their generosity!

[@pattyjakubowski6614]

To strip paint, I use a heat gun and a putty knife. The gray would go if it were mine. I love the wood look. Great find!

[@1824walkerfarmhouse]

I ususally use the goopy stuff and have tried a heat gun. I'm thinking like you, l think, lol!

[@stephanienuce7711]

I LOVE primitives!!! I am in hog heaven watching these videos!! Seriously my vibe..I would LOVE to see your place and go thrifting/antiquing for prims with you!!!!!

[@1824walkerfarmhouse]

Yay! Thank you!

[@DeannaMoyers]

I would absolutely leave the dry sink the way it is....a beautiful piece. As far as where I go to find antiques.....if I'm shopping for primitives (and I usually am) my main source is other antique shops (and not ALL of them because some only have stuff)....and the reason is because that's about the best chance of finding primitive pieces. I was an antique dealer for about 15 years and sold primitives and you could find pieces then, but we retired from the business about 7 years ago and wow have things changed. Authentic primitives are getting so hard to find (even in this area where they were always plentiful). You can still find some things once in awhile at outdoor flea markets but it's a challenge. Antique shows, exclusive prim antique stores, and other antique stores that have prim dealers is my go to....and once in awhile online or a good auction.

[@1824walkerfarmhouse]

I agree...and it sure has changed!

[@user-ye3lo7mz5m]

What a beautiful piece!, Personally I wouldn't do anything to it. I love it just the way it is.

[@1824walkerfarmhouse]

Thank you, thank you for your suggestion!

[@cabinfevercrafts1439]

I got the giggles when you said you loved it (the dry sink) more than Dave. Then I realized you appreciated it more than Dave liked it. And Chuckie for chuck roast got me tickled all over again. Thank you- I really needed a smile 😊 Love the gray on the dry sink. All part of the story. I cannot imagine boards as wide as those on any of today’s pieces. That dry sink is a treasure! What lucky friends you have! Everything looked so delicious and your table was perfect. We have friends who gift us with wood for our wood furnace. Aren’t we blessed?! Do you remember that in the older Country Living Magazine there was always an article called Simple Country Pleasures? ( I hope I remember it correctly) Wish I could remember the gal who wrote those. Your videos remind me so much of those articles.

[@1824walkerfarmhouse]

I'm glad you got the giggles. We all need a laugh now and then. I am starting to be less nervous talking on here and I guess my humor is starting to come through. Thank you for your kind words and encouragement!

[@paulalim1476]

Oooh! Love the dry sink! I love it a lot more than rhubarb. 😂

[@1824walkerfarmhouse]

Thank you and I'll not make this for dessert next time you come!

[@paulalim1476]

@@1824walkerfarmhouse Oh no! Maybe you know how to do it right …..and my mother didn’t!

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

I would remove the grey paint, at least on the back board. It looks like an odd afterthought. It's a great sink!

[@1824walkerfarmhouse]

Yes, I'm thinking the same. Thanks for the suggestion.

[@marlenefolta6912]

Keep it the way it is. Its beautiful. Don’t touch it. Has so much charm, would look great with old wooden bowls, or pantry boxes. Bring it upstairs and enjoy it. 🐣

[@1824walkerfarmhouse]

That sound good. I'm thinking of filling it with baskets too!

[@JanTrewhitt]

I love your dry sink! Your chicken tablecloth is so cute! The dry sink reminds me of one my Mom had in her kitchen between her stove and refrigerator. She had a replica of a black coal stove made into a lamp which she kept on the dry sink. After she was done in the kitchen for the evening she always lit that lamp to make it cozy. brings back so many wonderful memories of home! Blessings.

[@1824walkerfarmhouse]

Wonderful memories! Thank you so much for sharing! Blesssings back at you!

[@lindamelz242]

What an adorable theme for your get together. I love the little carts and how fun to use for serving. Thank you for the recipe. i used to cook rhubarb down to top ice cream n pudding and make jam. Can you imagine having such wide wood - makes your beautiful dry sink all the more special . Have fun making your decision on what to do. Oh that rack Dave made is a Beauty!!!

[@1824walkerfarmhouse]

Awww...Linda, thank you for your kind words!

[@theoldsonso]

I would leave the dry sink as is. 😊

[@1824walkerfarmhouse]

I just can't decide, lol!

[@user-xn3xn8hq6f]

I would leave the paint! I sat my wood mortar and pestle and a wood scoop on mine. I can't wait to see it in the house!!

[@1824walkerfarmhouse]

Sounds great! Can't wait to decorate it!

[@randygoldsberry2890]

Your lunchtime table looked spectacular! My mouth was watering for some of the ham salad and potato/macaroni salad. Yummy. Nice dry sink, I wouldn’t touch the original surface.

[@1824walkerfarmhouse]

Thanks so much!

[@dellahayden5606]

I’m not sure if you have a larger coffee grinder. You could put that on the side of the dry sink… everything else is absolutely lovely 🥰 I love to go thrifting ❤you can find some really nice things for a lot cheaper than buying new or some antique shops. I do like to do that too but, I think it’s the thrill of the hunt 😂lol I’m sure the dry sink will be absolutely beautiful when you get it all finished. Have a wonderful day and weekend ahead… 🥰🌷

[@1824walkerfarmhouse]

Thanks for the tip! A coffee grinder is a great idea...or I have a butter churn with a cow stencil on it. I love the ideas! Thank you!

[@debby891]

How fun with the country chicken theme for a spring meal shared with friends❤. Ohhhh that dry sink❤❤, be still my heart so much old worn character to it, love it. I’d live with it for awhile but lean toward leaving it as it is. I’m so glad I’m not the only one always changing things around😂. I’m 65 and have thrifted my entire adult life. Everything in our home is from thrifting!

[@1824walkerfarmhouse]

That's what we do, m,ove things around, lol! Thanks for sharing!

[@debrademedici864]

Your table setting and food looked wonderful!!! Dry sink is a great find !!! I myself could not live with the blue paint , it looks out of place to me .. most of my antiques were from antique shows , never had luck at thrifting!!!!

[@1824walkerfarmhouse]

I'm starting to think the same way. Thank you for your kind words!

[@brendaketzler4112]

If this was my Dry sink I would leave the original patina and its journey through the years alone. But it’s not mine so I believe do what ever makes you happy.

[@1824walkerfarmhouse]

Thank you for the suggestion! and watching!

[@itsjustmommyitsjustmommy1016]

I’m 60! I love to thrift too! Do you have any fake food? I could just see a cherry pie sitting on the side of the dry sink. Beautiful piece. I wish the antiques could tell stories, I bet it has a few! Or an old bucket of lavender would be beautiful.

[@1824walkerfarmhouse]

I love the pie idea, thank you!

[@garymartin5898]

we love to see how things were made..planed on one side of the boards..beautiful cutouts..maybe an old waterpump on the top..can that gray be dry scraped? we have a few favorite olaces here in Ohio and Indiana. last year we bought the bottom half of a sideboard at a garage sale for $60 ..to tell you how early it is..the back has chamferred panels and the drawer pulls are sniped on the inside..my hubby couldnt get it in the truck quick enough lol...becca m

[@1824walkerfarmhouse]

I love your story and think we've been there too, lol! Thank you for sharing!

[@patriciapolitano]

When paint is removed wood will look newer Fill it with bowls an buckets an let the blue peep through.

[@1824walkerfarmhouse]

Agree!

[@paulalim1476]

I’d leave the gray….

[@rufusandtalluhla2841]

How about doing a dry scrape?

[@1824walkerfarmhouse]

That is what I am really thinking of...which I've done on many pieces, thanks for the idea!

[@marthameadows9013]

The gray takes away from the beauty of the wood. In my opinion it would look better gone. Great video!

[@1824walkerfarmhouse]

I think I'm leaning on stripping it. I've stripped many a piece in my day and there's only one coat on it and it's not too much. Thanks for the suggestion.

[@kmarch6630]

Move the upper cabinet up some. It's low.

[@1824walkerfarmhouse]

We could do that but it looks lower than what it is because of the high ceilings. It really is a heavy cupboard so I have to think about it twice on moving it. It was quite the task putting it up, lol!
