converting a single-hole sink

I have a lovely [yet very small] porcelain pedestal sink that I recently removed from the master bath (in favor of a vanity with more storage and a much larger sink...) But I'd like to reuse the pedestal in our new powder room.

The sink has only one hole in which to install a faucet fixture. I reused the old faucet in the new master vanity. My life would be a whole lot easier if it had three holes - there are more and less expensive options in a 3-hole set up.

Is it possible to fit a 3-hole faucet into a 1-hole sink? Can I drill more holes? Perhaps there is some sort of adapter valve that can go under the deck?? Other brilliant ideas???

Thanks in advance for your creative solutions...
Kristin

Re: converting a single-hole sink

Kristin,
You might want to look at Domsjo Sink: Drilling Additional Holes - the Domsjo sink is porcelain so you could use the same procedure. My tile guy drilled the holes for me in my Domsjo sink and said it was pretty much like drilling holes in porcelain tile. Just be sure to get the right drill bit. You probably do not want the cheaper kind with big teeth that Lowe's and Home Depot carry, but the diamond edge which can be purchased at tile distributors.
