If I understand the situation correctly, I would go smaller -- maybe 27" or even a 24" farmhouse.

If you have 45 sq ft, that's something along the lines of a 5'x9' or slightly smaller than a 7'x7' kitchen. Since it is L shaped, not a galley, you lose 2 feet of that run on either side for a corner. You are down to less than 10 feet of working wall space. A standard fridge and DW would take up 5 of that -- a stove and the sink and you are over your limit already. Scaling down, use a 24" sink, a 24": fridge, an 18" DW and a 30" range, you have 24" left over for a base cabinet and any fillers. If you put in a usable corner cabinet, that's not going to leave you much of anything else.

Do I have it right? Can you make this a galley layout? It would give you better use of the space.

lascatx,

darn are you good with numbers!

my fridge and pantry r on the other side of the L.
my kitch is 13 x 20. I will have 60" before the corner of counter space, then 25" after the corner to the stove.

Hey jennibg--- does your 24" sink seem too small for you?? I'm remodeling a kitchen and could only get a 30" sink base and was hoping to get a 30" sink to fit (outside of sink is actually 28") not sure if that would work? Next size down seams to be a 24"sink- not sure if that's gonna feel small- or if I have a choice! (mine will also be a single bowl)

I wouldn't put a 25" sink in a 36" cabinet unless there was lots of stuff I needed the cabinet space for (water chiller/heater, water filter, GD etc.)

To answer Lynch's question, I've lived with a 21" x 15" sink for the past 12 years and it worked fine but am really looking forward to a bigger one.
