You can ask your cabinetmaker about the corner sink. You can also make a mock up with some cardboard boxes or scrap wood.

In a cabin, it's especially important to vent the stove to the outside. If unvented, a greasy coating accumulates on everything. Are you concerned about freezing pipes during your seasonal use?

Corner sink...We have a 36" corner sink base and our sink is 15.75" square interior dimensions (17.75" exterior). It's our prep sink, not primary/cleanup sink, so the smaller size isn't as big an issue as it would be if it were our only sink. (However, I do wish it were wider!)

You might be able to go a bit wider, but the wider you go, the farther back the sink will need to be installed and the more difficult it will be to use. The farther back a sink is from the counter edge, the farther you have to lean to use the sink. If you have to lean too far, back pain can result.

Given the fact that you don't have a DW in the cabin, you will be doing all your dishwashing by hand. That means more time spent at the sink and the greater potential for causing an aching back.

Open shelving...are you sure you want to do open shelving in a place where you won't be there to use the dishes stored on the shelves daily? Dust will accumulate and you may end up having to re-wash whatever you store there every time you visit. In addition. being located next to the range, grease will accumulate on anything stored on the shelves, especially since that's only an OTR MW (they're not very good at removing grease, etc.). That dust will now become "gunk" -- dust/dirt mixed with grease.

Unless you enjoy cleaning/dusting, open shelves really only work if the items stored on them are used every day or two and they're not located near the range/cooktop.

These are great comments, thank you! I had a double sink, full-sized range, refrigerator, and enclosed upper and lower cabinets before this remodel. We might spend a week at the camp but it's usually only 3-4 nights. I sometimes find evidence of critters rummaging and nesting in the stove and cabinets on return. I don't know if open shelving will make a difference with the critters, but I'm willing to give it a try, at least it will be easier to slide in the bins I use to store kitchen items when we are not in residence. We have a washer/dryer and utility sink in the boathouse for large jobs like linens and cleaning the lobster pot! I'll give the range grease issue more thought, good suggestion, it would be easy enough to vent a hood above the range as we are having to replace the roof.

This is an uninsulated seasonal camp that is winterized and reopened in the spring. Thank you again for your comments.

Having the stove right next to the corner sink is awful. I rented an apartment with that layout and there was nowhere to put dirty dishes and/or prep. I'd rethink the corner sink.

You are right, very poor design. For my contractor to allow the design to leave his office tells me he is not engaged in the project and every detail of the plan should be scutinized. Attached is the plan, suggestions are appreciated. BTW, what is depicted as a bunk room is an office space which could have a day bed or futon.

The floor plan doesn't enlarge enough to read the lettering. Try one photo for each half. If this plan shows the existing walls that are staying, then there's no door into the kitchen.

You are right, thatS a change from previous versions of the plan. The first two photos are the current plan. The third, a photo of the first kitchen design that shows the header; this design is more expensive and has less workable countertop.

FIRST KITCHEN DESIGN.... SHOWS HEADER AND THRESHOLD INTO KITCHEN

The first (no corner sink) kitchen design has a better layout. If you substitute the 24" stove and put in an 18" dishwasher to the right of the sink, it'd be fine. An alternative for more counterspace is to use an undercounter fridge (perhaps one fridge, one freezer) instead of a tall full size fridge. Note that the table can be used as counterspace when preparing meals.

If you move the woodstove to the other side of the French doors, you could have a fully open kitchen (longer beam, no wall) with much more comfortable space to use the chairs around the table.

Excellent idea to move the woodstove to the other side of the French doors

I was thinking of a prep island on casters and moving the stove bolsters the idea

Thank you

Thanks. A prep island on casters is a great idea.
