On the fridge wall:it looks to be 77 inches-but the left side has 13 inches unused?? not sure why....I would get a 30 in Liebherr[or 24 in if you can deal with it-they are smart with spatial configuration-the small one should be plenty]...that leaves 47 in of wall space-create cabinetry here with fridge more in center...near the corner approaching dinette, reduce depth or angle it back so no bumping when going around[was that the concern about 13 inches unused?] I would put a microwave drawer to the left or right of range in a 24 in base cab-that space will be more than compensated for with storage now on fridge wall.A main reason also is for the aesthetic, as all traffic comes thru that hallway and whatever is assigned there is constantly viewed. You gain in that regard, and storage is added that I think you will come to find indispensable.Also think about putting cabinet panels on fridge. The issue about sink placement is personal preference-with an offset sink,a faucet hole can be drilled at more the center position.It is a little bit "snakey" in shape but I guess you've probably evaluated leaving vs.changing perimeter walls. You're going to have a beautiful space with all the light flowing in-I see windows and doors!!

How about getting the larger sink and centering the faucet?

Two questions/thoughts about the sink situation:

What goes into the 12" cabinet to the left of the sink? This is a bit radical, but you could think about using a 45" sink base, and doing whatever was in the 12" cab under the sink.

Another idea is to mask the non-centered sink somewhat. What kind of sink were you envisioning? Some people have made good use of sinks that are asymmetric, like the Franke Orca (but I think you would need the mirror image):

The idea would be that you center the faucet on the narrow portion of the sink, and also center that on the window. The sink, as a whole, would then be pushed a little to the right, (and therefore not strictly centered on the window). However, it looks intentional and appropriate that way.

Thanks everyone for your feedback!

herflavor: my bad for not making it clear that the 13" is a non-moveable wall. So, the available space for the fridge wall is only 64" wide. There will be 3/4" panels to the left and right for fridge, and the Kitchen FD CD we are thinking of getting (KFCP22EXMP) requires 1/2" space on each side per specs. I don't know how to use the filler option in 20-20. When I tried to place the filler on the space next to the fridge, the filler just disappeared. So, I gave up after several tries. Good point about the fridge wall being constantly viewed as traffic comes through the hall. Hm, I wonder whether it will bother me seeing the boxy fridge first thing I come into the kitchen... I can't help thinking of the word "coffin" (though coffing probably is not made of SS :) when I imagined the fridge being the first thing I see as I walk in. Should I break the steely boxiness up with say a 33" fridge 6" tall pull-out pantry. Which means the tea/MW section will need to be reduced to 21". I need to research on MW that can fit a 21" space.

rosie: I did think about centering the faucet. I might do that but first I need to make a decision on the sink base size: 30" or 33". My concern was that since the window is not centered on the wall, and then the 33" sink base is not centered on the window, and if I make the faucet off centered from the sink base, it will be off-centeredness to the power of three. I worry I will feel like I am in a fun house :) But, off centering the faucet is definitely something I will consider seriously.

Angie DIY: Thanks for the idea for the Franke Orca sink. I will look into this! The 12" cabinet to the left of the sink is to store my Kitchen Aid mixer.

What is in b12r showing in the stove wall view? Can that be for your kitchenaid mixer?

Since sink cabinets are usually deplorably wasted space (and end up actually repellent to gaze into compared to the greatness around them) my initial reaction would be to go smaller with the cabinet, custom-setting a larger sink. They always can hold larger sinks than the specs say. However, if you're going to be one of the few who put drawers or other good storage under the sink for dishes, pots and pans, containers, etc., then either size.

As for the appearance of being off center, we all vary in our sensitivity to this. Some really "feel" it and care. However, if your sink blends with your counter and your cabinets all have matching fronts (same for DW), it's going to be a rare guest who notices sink placement at all. They're usually looking at you, after all, and maybe your choices for doors and counters, stove, etc. My sink is only 3" off, not 5, but I truly think no one except my hawk-eyed son has ever noticed (I'm the only TKO I know). In part, I believe, because the eye keeps right on going out the row of windows above. The faucet is centered on a vertical piece where two windows join because it sticks up. Really, in my kitchen the "show" is the view, is not the sink or the lower cabinets, which just sort of blend with each other everything else.

All a way of saying I think if you're not strongly perfectionist here you have lots of wiggle room. If it really matters to you, though, I say forget the usual so-called function and go straight for the biggest, most important function--making you happy. The happy-dance function. :)

LOL, love your happy-dance function, rosie! Right on! Made me smile at the thought of it. Sometimes, we just need to remember the point of the kitchen renovation is to please ourselves and not our guests :) Thank you for such a gentle reminder and your insights!

I would love to see the photo of your off-centered sink if you feel so inclined to share your view out the window and your sink.

kirkhall: B12R along the stove wall is actually a 3-stack drawer base.

It is too bad that I seriously am limited in my knowledge of using 20-20 software. I am not able to make it render the 2-D picture of the cabinetry. Sigh. It can do a 3-D version that showed the cabinetry but did so VERY poorly with weird lines crisscrossing all over the place. Can't post those pix, I am afraid. I am using the free 30-day trial version, maybe that's why.

Anyway, the stove wall currently has drawer stacks:
- 21" 4-drawer base to the left of stove
- 27" 3-drawer base to the right of stove
- 12" 3-drawer base between the 27" drawer base and the super susan

We are putting all drawers along the stove wall and the 12" base with shelf along the sink wall so the "shelf" doors are on that wall. We don't know if that's a good idea, aesthetically speaking, or not. Should we mix things around a bit to break up the lines of drawers? Such as putting the 12" 3-stack drawer base to the left of the sink, and put the 12" shelf base to the right of the 27" drawer base?
