that's "issues with 24" sink base?"
And "we are in the midst of a kitchen addition".. sorry about that - long time lurker, new to posting..

You can fit a nice 22"-23" single bowl sink in a 24" sink base. Large enough to soak a roasting pan! I see no problem with a 24" sink base. Going to 27" doesn't help all that much. There are few sinks available in the 24"-26" range. Too small for a double and for some reason, not readily available as a single. I have a 24" sink base in my otherwise medium-sized kitchen. It is fine!

hi,

i'm kind of wondering whether you've thought about how big a sink you need or want, first. you mentioned that it's a good size kitchen, so maybe you'd want at least a "standard" size of 33". there are a lot more choices, too. single bowl vs. double is a whole other debate!

i'm getting a 24" sink, but i have a small kitchen.

also two other thoughts:

many people seem to center their sinks with regard to where the panes are in the window so they aren't looking right into one. sometimes they even place the sink faucet centered on the window, but off-center from the sink to make it look symmetrical. there are a lot of threads on this subject too. i'll look for the one i'm thinking of with good photos. or you can google "gardenweb kitchen window sink centered", or something like that.

the other is the 33" lazy susan. i was considering one of these, but someone mentioned the door is pretty small. if i understand your layout correctly, your corner cabinet is open on the back to a walkway. garenweb member buehl turned a regular cabinet backward to be accessed from the walkway side so you have full access to the cabinet.

that's pretty hard for me to explain, so i will link the thread. anyway, it's seems more useful than a corner susan if you can do it. then you will also have 9" extra to distribute to a sink base or the the far drawers.

good luck!

btw, the previous thread that buehl wrote about is about her "pet center", but it still describes how to turn the cabinet, etc.

here's the link about centering the sink on a window, but there are many others. :)

Here is a link that might be useful: How much will 3'' affect centering a sink?

I did see buehl's kitchen which is beautiful, and the sink placement under the second window is what i was going for, until yesterday when our plumber and contractor suggested putting the sink in the corner instead. This would looks like it would solve the off-center issue - as even w/a 24" sb we will be about 1.5" off from the center of the 2nd window.

Please see the link attached, hopefully this will help.

I am torn. My husband really likes the corner sink idea, but I like the idea of more counter space between the stove and sink.

Also, any thoughts on the overall layout would be greatly appreciated as well.

Thanks so much for your feedback!

also, as far as size of sink - currently our sink has an interior width of 21" which has been good - that is why i thought a 24" sb would be fine - i do want a good size single bowl sink.

i guess i just like the idea of the sb and the size of sink being similar since i do not foresee using the sb cabinet for much. If we do a corner 42" sb, i would get a larger sink for this reason, but don't necessarily need it.

Here's a nice corner sink...just make sure to leave a space (small cabinet?) between the sink and the dishwasher. This is important, so the dishwasher doesn't open on top of you, when you're standing at the sink. Best of luck with your layout :)

There are many kitchens with off center sinks by a window
that look lovely. I posted some images of sinks that are
not center ( a few links too) to the window behind or
even the casing behind them. Some people put the faucet on
an angle or use a built in running board for the sink area
to dry dishes etc.. This will draw the eye away.
Whatever you do go with I am certain you will find a way to
make it look great. Hope these ideas help.

Centering sink under window.... or not?
http://ths.gardenweb.com/forums/load/kitchbath/msg1011374226962.html

Here is a link that might be useful: Help! Should my sink be centered under the window?

AUGH - another possibility would be to ditch the lazy susan and center the sink under the window in a larger sink base, although the sink size would probably remain the same - since the glass portion of the window is about 25". Then we would just resign ourselves to having a blind corner and the same size sink we currently do (21" interior) which I find sufficient.

I guess the 42" corner sb would allow a larger sink which might be nice, although not having ever had one I guess I wouldn't miss it.

The corner option would decrease counter space between the stove and sink, but allow for a larger sink; centering on the back wall would create a blind corner.. not sure what is the best option..
