we had one of these with a double sink in the house we rented when i first moved down here (it was a little cinderblock fishing shack built in the 1950s, so the timing here is spot-on).
it was actually really, really convenient and easy to keep clean because of the way the sides sloped downward - in fact, we just kept the drying rack on the right side; the water ran right back into the sink.
I like the mood this evokes: the curtains blowing lightly suggest a cool breeze on a summer's day.
That sink set-up is very much like the one we had in our house when I was a kid. We had a little ranch house that my parents were extremely proud of, considering that it was a very big deal for a young couple to have their own house. Most couples pre-War lived in apartments or with their parents until they saved up enough for a house, if they ever did. My mother paid for the furniture on Lay-A-Way and my dad and his father built the house themselves, did the plumbing, and had to get a guy in for the wiring. We had some very happy times in that house. :)
