4. This sink comes from an exhibit not-surprisingly titled "Everything But the Kitchen Sink" at the Fine Arts Center of Kershaw County, South Carolina. The original sink-art by Keith Tolen is called Sink-e-delic. The photographer calls his sink photo Testing Twittergram. Photo by raggedj.

9. Every sink should have a window over it, so your eyes can drift to the outside world while you're finishing those mundane chores. The photographer calls the photo "Canning Day," but it's the striking blue scene outside the window you notice first. That and the evil strawberry on the wall. Photo by MizMagee.

10. This sink took part in the 2008 Museum of Modern Art exhibit titled "Home Delivery." Want to see more from this exhibit? Photo by Scott Norsworthy.
