What is the counter material going to be?

I love my apron front. What I like about it is the depth of it, and the fact that errant splashes and drips don't run down the face of the cabinet, getting the wood wet -- that was a continual problem with the drop-in stainless sinks I always had before, particularly when washing up big pots and pans.

I like the apron front with those cabinets. The Kohler Whitehaven sink gives you the best of both worlds: it's essentially an undermount but it has an apron front.

We used one in this kitchen for a recent client:

@User

yes I thought its still better to do before stones get cut

my kitchen installer will have to re make doors to accommodate full 10 ” height..

@kandrewspa

my counter top will be white quartz stone with small vein ( gold )

@Beatrix

yeah thats true too

its delima of what kind of look..

my dining and kitchen area is open and has stained glass window if that helps in deciding which look would look better ?

sorry for the mess but this is stained glass in dining room which faces kitchen

and I am thinking of this chandelier over dining room

Apron, definitely apron!

"I start thinking white apron sink looks pretty and wonder if i should pay $800 extra for new doors to accommodate apron sink"

You don't change the doors, you change from a full apron sink to a short apron sink which is designed specifically for that cabinet.

I would argue that the bottom of the apron aligning with adjacent drawer bottoms looks better than having that line broken up by a sink apron. I think the stubby little doors look kinda funny too. It's only the apron that's shorter; the bowl is the same depth as a full apron sink.

These are Elkay Quartz Luxe short apron sinks. Above is the Ferguson model in Ricotta. One of the finest sinks on the market.

I vote for Kraus work station. We have undermount charcoal ( with some light specs) granite one and I am in love with it. Apron sinks seem to be out of style.

"Apron sinks seem to be out of style."

Not out of style if it fits the overall vibe of the kitchen.

Sinks that have been around for several hundred years aren't subject to style trends. Motzart's music is the same age.

The kohler whitehaven sink has a short apron but deep sink . You can just remove the drawer front and probably slip it over ( depending on the size of the cabinet ) .

See how nice that looks when the drawer bottom and the apron bottom are aligned?

I have the Kohler Whitehaven and I love it, but at this point in your project, I’d suggest you go with the planned stainless under mount.

I am leaning undermount white fireclay or quartz sink (no apron)

I dont have drawer on island other than sink so alignment wont be an issue

I am debating on quartZ between catta gold vs river gold

It's a personal choice and one you're making too late in process.

If you love it? Great. But second guessing in a reno is common. I think the oak is gorgeous, I find the white disruptive.......but that's me.

A great deep quality under mount sink? Easy peasy and easy maintenance. Forever.

This? Feels disruptive, better on a white cabinet.. But it is not my kitchen, it's yours.

I would stick with the under mount sink. It may just be me, but I went deeper when we replaced our sink. After allot of cooking, my shoulders burn from reaching into that sink. Your kitchen is beautiful!

I am not understanding the need for a bath-tub depth sink???? I really dislike the look for the apron fronts. It makes the sink really stick her LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME--and frankly I don't want the world noticing the sink.

That depends upon the layout of the house. Here in Florida, modern cookie-cutter villas with the kitchen/liiving room/lanai are prevelant. Big screen television, sofa, isleway, island overhang with stools, then sink. You can't realy see that much of the apron because you can't back up far enough. The sink is a focal point whether you like it or not. My customers think it has to look good and I agree.

I've been making the same decision, and I have that same picture in my inspiration file. I love the look of the white farmhouse sink, and I love how close you can get to them when you are washing dishes. But I decided to go with stainless undermount (a workstation sink). It seems more practical - there is no chance of it cracking, if I drop a dish into it, it won't shatter into a million pieces, no harsh clinking sounds when I put a dish in it, and stainless is very sanitary. This is why restaurant kitchens use them. I have a very clear look in mind for my kitchen, but function needs to come first. Maybe I'll end up hating it, I don't know yet, but this is what I've been thinking.

White sinks, in my opinion, are not lifetime sinks. Stainless, if a high grade and made well, should last generations. We also manufacture custom short apron sinks that will line up with the adjacent drawers and will line up with the doors below. The below image is of a textured stainless.

Note that the sink that @Rachiele Custom Sinks is spamming just above costs several thousands. They neglect to mention in their ubiquitous comments on this forum that you will pay 2-5times as much as you would for a Kohler or Elkay stainless steel apron front sink.

There are numerous threads on Houzz discussing the pitfalls of fireclay and cast-iron sinks. Unfortunately, they can crack, craze and stain over time. Our sinks are custom made, which does make them more expensive. Our intention was not to spam but offer the author an alternative that they likely would not have found. However, we stand by our opinion that whether you get a stainless sink from us or someone else, stainless is a better long-term choice than a white sink. All the best!

Agree totally with Jan Moyer

An undermount sink would be the logical choice, but there isn’t room for a drawer, too. When you wipe down the counter an undermount sink allows you to wipe crumbs, etcetera, directly into the sink for a fast clean-up. The stuff you would want in the drawer can be kept in a plastic bin in the sink cabinet below. Remember that an apron-front sink is closer to your body and splashing yourself is a common problem. An undermount sink gives you a bit more space between yourself and the water.

Sorry M Miller, but you need to redefine "spam". Some remodeler getting on here to show us his latest drywall project in a stand-alone post is spam. A professional giving a helpful answer/contribution to a post not his own is not spam. Houzz is lucky to have Dino Rachiele check in here now and again.

And yeah, his sinks are expensive, but the best of something always is.
