New kitchen sink...
We got very tired of the factory cheap plastic sink and faucet. The 2 compartments were pretty worthless. So I ordered a nice stainless steel sink and a new faucet. Had to open the hole in the countertop a bit but it fit perfectly and works so much better!

Nice job on the sink, are the ice cubes from the "I did good" High ball?
In addition I see mini blinds on the window, are they OEM or did you replace the day/night with them?

Probably left over from a nice iced coffee! The blinds were in there when we bought it.

The metal mini blinds are usually factory installed when there is a stove nearby. I think it has to do with fire hazard.

I asked as we "Upgraded" all of our shades to mini blinds. We find that they allow one to control incoming sunlight and still have a view out.

I did the exact opposite. The single tub sink in my Bullet 212 was huge and as we are always camping in the bush, water usage is a big deal. Pulled the single tub plastic sink out and put in a dual tub stainless sink. Couldn't find a dual tub sink that would fit the original hole and wound up buying one that was too small for the hole in the counter, so I made an aluminum plate to fill in the void. Turned out great and is way easier on the water supply!

I had to trim 1/2 off front because of the hard wear mounting brackets. I used heating thermal 15 inch duck tape to insulate the bottom of the sink. It’s soundproof . The first cheap plastic sink lasted a the few years then the bottom cracked out.

Our camper came with a dual bowl "stainless" sink and it has developed a crack at the top corner of one of the bowls, so I need to replace it.
I must be made of a pretty cheap grade of stainless, since it rusts.
Th DW hates the faucet too, so I guess it will get changed with the new sink.
Good to know it is not that big of a job.

Mount the faucet and tail piece before you install the sink ... saves twisted neck and back pain and much easier. JM2˘, Hank
