First of all, great choices, I'm a big fan.

Second of all, yes, you are missing something. They were referencing putting a 24" sink in a 24" WIDE cabinet. You have standard depth cabinets and an 18" sink is not a problem with your faucet. You have the cabinet width to fit your sink and all the depths are standard. No worries. You are all set.

And again, nice choices.

Oh THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU brickton!! You have made my day! Or.... Really WEEK! I've been worried about this since I read that comment and finally worked up the nerve to post my question.

I'm SO HAPPY that my choices will work in my cabinet! Yay!!

Thank you again! :))

Just cause I have the same faucet, I measured mine.

The granite lip is 4" (remember some of this is overhang)
The sink opening depth-wise from granite edge to granite edge is 17"
From granite edge to back of faucet: 3 1/4"

TOTAL depth including faucet: 24 1/4"

Ok. So I measured our current counter (old tile with a wood trip piece at the edge) from the backsplash to the end of the wood edge and it 24 1/2 inches.

So, I should be ok assuming we install the same width granite counters, right needsometips08? Is that what you are saying? :))

You've really gotten me thinking about this issue Tootie. (Glad you posted!) I don't really like the look of a sink cabinet and countertop around the sink bumped in the aisle space. I'm curious to know how sinks and faucets fit in the 24" deep cabinet. Exactly how far from the back of the sink DOES the faucet go? And how far from the back wall must the faucet be? I'm hoping that doesn't add up to too much depth for a 24" deep sink base.

I have been debating the sink question for our remodel and hope there's someone who can HELP ME!

My original thought was a big single sink (Ticor S508) because I'm so sick of the double, can't put the big pans in, kind of sink. But, I had so many people tell me that I'm going to miss the flexibility of 2 sinks, that I'm thinking of a big side, small side (Ticor S6512) as an option.

I would really LOVE your thoughts. Maybe there's something I haven't considered about these 2 options.

Front to back dimensions are not a problem unless you have a sink like mine, the Blancoselect 509-302 whose outer dimensions are 20 5/32" front to back. The faucet and other stuff had to be mounted in the clipped corners since there wasn't room at the back. Its width at the top is 22 15/32" side to side, so it actually can be shoehorned into a 24" cabinet. The slope is really steep, so this is a fabulously roomy sink.

KO--so the sink bases I see that stick out/bumped out into the aisle are for aesthetic reasons only? Not because the sink and faucet won't fit in the 24 inches?

@Breezygirl: Other than farmhouse sinks? Sorry, it has been a few years since I did my kitchen, so I am trying to remember what you are referring to...I am wondering about the structural integrity if a base is bumped out and not a deeper cab.

KO-No, not a farmhouse sink. I couldn't find a picture quickly to show you. I've just seen tons of main sinks where the sink base cabinet and countertop are a few inches deeper than 24" so they bow out into the aisle. I guess maybe it's more a design option (which I wouldn't choose) than a necessity.
