Hmmm, so it sort of depends on how meticulous you are with the water, right? More of an issue is the space on the counter top next to the sink. We try for a minimum of 24" of clear counter adjacent to the sink so there is room for the drop off and processing of dirty dishes, pots and pans. Your appliance garage looks to be in the no fly zone! Is there another location that might work?

Would be wonderful if you could switch the sink cabinet with the cabinet just to it's right - appears to be the dishwasher. That would be the cheapest solution and require very little except minor plumbing reroute. The lack of symmetry with the window would drive me crazy , but I agree with Ironwood. You need countertop space on either side of a sink to function properly. i also agree that your cabinets are going to show the effect of spashing water after a few years.

Thanks so much for your replies. Yes, switching the dishwasher to the other side would be easy I'm sure. thanks for your comment on lack of symmetry with the window. It has been niggling me as well. I guessed this was done to fit the drawers in. I will definitely see if there is another way. Perhaps I should flag the appliance cupboard idea. I ha looked at the other side but can't see it. The third side is floor to ceiling cupboards - this side incorporates the pantry and to the right the laundry behind biff olds.
Thie the top cabinets are another area I have been worried about with regards symmetry. Any comments here.
Thanks

I am having some difficulty putting together the layout. Do you have a floor plan (top/down) view so we can see it? These are coming through fairly faint and hard to read - at least for my old eyes. I rather like your appliance cabinet idea - very clever and useful. Would be nice to keep it. Do you have the ability to email your full layout file? If so, send to dbutler@brickwoodbuilders.com. We'll be glad to take a look at it.

Thanks Deborah,
I have emailed you the files of the plans and really appreciate your looking at them.

Is this the type corner drawer unit you have planned? [houzz=]

Look at this idea as well to replace your corner unit. This would free up space so that there is room around the sink and it makes use of countertop space that is hard to reach. [houzz=]

I will also send you some other comments

Now you've got me thinking. That corner cupboard is a brilliant idea!

Here is another that uses the corner well. This also will help offset the lack of symmetry on the range wall as well. Your cabinet maker would need to work out all the measurements. The base drawers to the right of the range may need to be reduced in size to be the same as the ones on the left, which will also help balance the wall. This tall unit to the left of the range will help to balance the large pantry on the right. Where the below picture does not show it, you would have room to place a small matching wall cabinet to the left of the corner tower to balance and to balance out the space between the window.

Then you can still have some type of unit to the left of the sink with the appliance garage, but it would not need to be quite as wide and would give some space next to the sink.

Look at this more and see what you think.

There are some very unique features to your plan. A very high level of customization and much thought has gone into it. It is going to be beautiful. Would love to see the final plan and pictures of the final product.

Let me know if you want us to look further.

Thanks Deborah,
I really like this one and am definitely going to look at changing the corner. I was thinking that the appliance cabinet could go in the corner instead of it's current position. What do you think?
If I have one reservation it is whether I will be cutting down on usable benchtop space too much.

Yes the appliance cabinet can move. It will all depend upon the actual measurements and how much space the cabinet maker can work into the corner. A cabinet placed at an angle does take up space - but it appears you have a good amount already dedicated to the corner. The good thing about using a corner like this is that most people cannot reach back into this space and much of it is dead space. If you open up the countertop space on the left of the sink and there is already some countertop space to the right of the sink, you will actually have more usable space. You'll just need to make sure you are not crowding your range too much. Good luck. See what the cabinet folks say.

The drawer unit in the corner seem too large on the sink wall...a lazy susan would take just twelve inches of the cabinet face run on that side, allowing the dishwasher to slide over and get that sink closer to center....Then a narrow cabinet left of the sink cabinet for sheet pans? Really wanting that sink to center on the window. The uppers also seem asymmetrical to the window...and the reason is? Need the return cabinet on that side to make a corner appliance garage work.

Continuing to noodle with this. If you wish to leave the blum corner drawer unit (a unique feature) which keeps the 90 degree angle of the base cabinets, which is in keeping with the room, then you can just install the corner cabinet above the benchtop and install the appliance garage and microwave there. You may need to noodle with the widths of the upper cabinets across the range wall a bit. I would then use some wall cabinets to the left of the window and one also on the right of the window, but I don't like for them to be right up against the window. Leave some wall space so it doesn't look crowded.

I appreciate all your helpful comments. Do you think this new plan is a bit better. Not a lot different but centralizes the sink. Hard to squeeze so much into my small space!

Great result. ENJOY!!!
