One of the easiest things to do if you are not too tall and the room lends itself to it would be to put in a baking counter there that is a bit lowr than the rest of your ounters. People of average and lower heights often find that to be a more comfortable height for kneading, rolling and a lot of their prep work. That would be much easier than running water supply and drain lines to the other side of you kitchen.

There have been some other kitchens here with lower window issues - especially in older homes. I wish I could remember some of the names so I could help you search for them, but none are coming to mind right now. I'm sure someone with a better recall will be able to help you with that. In the manetime, I'd think seriously about whether it makes sense to move the sink and DW from a plumbing standpoint. A lot depends on what is hiding behind the walls, where your drain lines are and what kind of foundation you have. I'm on a slab, so that might kind of move would be a lot more difficult for me than for some.

Thanks, I have thought of that idea as well and like it. The problem that presents is having all my appliances on the 'L' and forces the sink in the corner. Is a sink in the corner a lot of wasted space and what is the biggest sink that will fit in a 36" corner cab?

Laynie,
First off, welcome to the forum. There is something that I have learned when dealing with tight spaces, no matter what you do, they will cost more to create a sensible and functional layout. Can you post a simple grid with the measurements for your space and where everything is? There are some great vision people on this site who can give you a lot of feedback.

I was looking for a custom sink the other day and looked at a manufacturer that has the best corner sink configuration that I have ever seen. Many on the forum use a regular sink and make the counter deeper at the corner to accomodate it.

Have you been to the finished kitchen blog? There are wonderful pictures and ideas on that forum.

I have included a link to the sink manufacturer (Rachiele). I guarantee that the sink will be expensive. I submitted a request for a bid on my sink requirements on Friday so I hope they respond within the week. I am expecting about $2k.

Good luck!

It might take me a few days but I certainly can post a grid layout.....thanks for the sink information!

Any progress Laynie?

The linked thread might help.

You might want to do a search as there's another thread that also discusses windows lower than the countertop that has pictures.

Just came form Lowes and questioned the KD about this very issue. He got out his templates to double check his measurements. He told me that if you used a diagonal corner cab 36" a 25 inch sink fits easily. For a 39 inch corner cab. a 28 inch sink fits and a 42 corner cab a 33 inch sink fits, with the sides scooped out. remember, this is for the cabinets with the diagonal doors, no the ones that we normally associate with a corner. He also stated that many people just scoop out the sides and backs of the cabinets and make them fit.
I think gibby has a full-size sink in her corner. If you go to the FKB, there is a section on corner sinks there too. It gives you an Idea about what people have actually done. HTH>
