NO CORNER STOVE. Leave it alone. Beautiful hood. nchor of design.

Besides, corners are something of a pain to work on, and only good for when it's the best solution, not when you're all inspired by the Opening Cermonies and getting artistic notions.

The sink is fine. Maybe you can get the drain custom? Or maybe someone knows of one.

NO CORNER STOVE.

We know each other too well! :-D You made me laugh out loud...Had to explain to my family, who didn't really get it. Big surprise.

I think you'd lose storage and I'm not sure it'd work with your window...And since my very intelligent friend, Plllog, is very against it, I'd say it's probably not worth the change.

Which sink? Wow. You are considering 2 of my faves. Are they close to the same size inside? The Silgranite would be easier to clean, as some say those corners in the stainless one are difficult. Does that matter? I'd check into the pullout issue more before giving up if the stainless is really the one you'll love. They really do look cool. Do you want it to be a focal point? Or will it better for the sink to be downplayed and let other things shine? All just questions that only you may know. Which one goes with your vision best? They're both great choices.

You've got the cooktop/dw/sink all right next to each other. Will be tight if someone wants to clean while the other cooks.

Ideally, you'd move something over to cabinets 3/4. That'd probably be the sink+dw since you could look out the window while doing dishes. Then, you'd want to move the cooktop over to where the sink is now.

If you don't want to move anything to 3/4, then maybe you could move the d/w over to the other side of the sink.

I knew you'd at least smirk rhome... glad it was a LOL. OK.. forget number 1... it was a momentary lapse, promise plllog.
jm... all my plumbing is against that peninsula and I"m not looking to really change that layout but thanks. The only thing I'd do is perhaps flip the DW and 36" cab which would scoot the sink over a bit. I'm not too concerned with the 2' to the right of the stove right now. I do like the 36" cab on the end there though cause it's where my dishes will go and like how convenient it would be to the dining table. I imagine only chopping veggies between the sink and stove unless I'll be using my food processor which will be done over on that glorious expanse of 10' counter or on my bakers table. Depends on where I decide to store it. That loooonnng counter will benefit me cause I tend to like to have everything out at once that I'm going to use.

There is a company that custom makes stainless sinks
Rachiele... they'll make anything you want for a very very hefty price (I think it would run about $2500). They even have a concave curved one. Super cool! Too $$$ for me. I can't get my head around spending over 2K on a sink.

wonderful wave design!

That apron front is gorgeous! Should be ample to contain your friends' drool.

Are you a practical person at the core? The Silgranit is obviously the answer to that question. Well, even if you are not, the sink really requires a practical bent. If the SS looks great but would add frustration or cut the function by some percentage, would it reduce your love for it by the same or greater proportion? The Silgranit sinks look nice, not with the same impact as a SS apron front, but it sounds like you have a great hood that will be a focal point, and such a sink may detract from that anyway. Then you can add some other touches that don't get a daily pounding for your visual impact (like ceramic flowered measuring cups or a cluster of mini pendants : ) ).

I agree, no corner stove, but sounds like you've already been talked down from that one. Do you have lots of uppers surrounding your stove? I ask because I had my stove near a corner for years with uppers around my head and always felt somewhat enclosed. (There were probably other things that you won't have in place that added to that feeling, though, so you should be fine.) But I would still vote for having uppers only where you absolutely need them.

jsw.. if you do a search with my screen name you'll find a myriad of threads with pics of all my "choices". Won't bore others with posting them again. I have almost no uppers. The only ones I"ll consider will be on either side of the window and they'll be those horizontal lift aluminum and glass ones from IKEA. I'd have to say my elements are somewhat eclectic to say the least!

Me practical? Tee-hee... if I read DH that one I'll have to revive him from over laughter. Wait... if I listen closely I think I can hear rhome chuckling from across the country too... :-) (might be slightly muffled from all that snow)

I vote for the curve front sink - I also love the apron front sinks.

I'm also a no on the corner stove.

The reverse curve is nice looking, but I'm afraid it would do strange things to the shape of your countertop. If the inner curve overhangs the cabinet doors, how deep does that make your counters?

Not that deeper counters are bad, but they would push the run under the window down ?3"? -so you'd have 3-6" less cabinetry (ikea has odd sizing).

OH bmore... the reverse curve I posted just for "kicks" and grins. I actually prefer the thickness for the regular curved apron. Wish I could find a semi reasonably priced one with an offset drain.
