Trough Sinks For the Kids' Bathroom

Inspired by vintage school bathrooms, trough sinks could also be of great use in the home. Especially in a bathroom shared by siblings. Plenty of space, a faucet for everyone, and a really cool look. Check out these inspirations:

We have the trough sink seen in a few of those pictures in our children's bathroom and it is wonderful! We are so glad that we put it in!

I would love to have a trough sink put in my kids' bathroom! I seem to not have any luck finding one though :( Does anyone know where I could find one to buy?

I have been dreaming of one of these for a few years now but haven't found one anywhere. Any good sources or ideas?? LOVE.

I've had this saved in my remodeling file for a long time.

It looks very cool, but I still love having two separate sinks so that one can be used for soaking baby poop out of clothes, etc.

This looks great for when they are little - but I have two teenagers sharing a bathroom and they always seem to be vying for counterspace and drawer storage... especially the girl teenager. Closed storage saves us from having to look at a million cosmetics and toiletries, and gives everyone plenty of room. But whatever works!

Thanks so much @KLee
