I'm having a hard time reading your plan, but I can tell you that I have had a sink and cooktop across from one another in two houses and took it out of this one. It is very efficient for a one person kitchen, but it is a pain if anyone else is in the kitchen -- to cook, to clean, to get a snack, to throw away trash by the sink -- they always get in the way. If you do something like that, it is one situation where a wider aisle would be needed in my mind (doesn't look like you have that) and then you take away from the super efficiency. You could move one over and it would help major butt bumping but not general traffic issues. Why would having your clean up in the second island be too far -- from what? Remember that you would have a prep sink on that island (I'd put it to one side). My kitchen has an island between my cooking area and my clean up area. With a prep sink there, I can handle anything while I'm cooking and toss dirties in the prep sink. I can also use a mixing bowl or pan to gather everything and walk it over -- or pass it across the island. My issue with clean up on the second island is that it is so open to the family room and my guys tend to stack stuff up rather than get it into the DW (I keep trying though). I'd like to be able to tell what areas are doorways and where they go so I could see if there might be some other ideas to suggest. Is the dual island a must? What are the measurements of the room and openings?

Mine's the teensiest bit offset from the divider and in front of the smaller bowl. I have the same size sink and have no reach problems with the large bowl. My faucet extends quite far, though.

Do you mean what I store in each area? I'll try...If it's not what you wanted/what you were asking for, let me know and I'll try again. Pantry area, starting at the left end by the freezer: Step stool cabinet, freezer, fridge, broom cabinet...all with cookbooks above. The walk-in pantry has my wheeled bins for grains and pet food. (I have another placed planned for pet food, so hopefully some day it will be out of the pantry) Also in the pantry: Grain mills, smaller containers of various grains, canned goods, extra of baking and other supplies, dry beans, rice, crockpot, garbage bags, baskets of potatoes, oranges, onions, garlic. Cooking area: Above microwave is microwave dishes...Like 2 qt Pyrex covered casserole dishes. In the upper section of that cabinet is a shelf with my extra oven racks, and another with extra party napkins, paper plates, etc that we don't need very often. In the base cabinet under the microwave is cooling racks, glass baking pans, and large broiler/roasting pans. I have 5 shelf spaces in that cabinet so things don't have to stack too much. I got so tired of having to nest everything just right and sort through to get the pan I wanted. In the gray cabinets: Upper to left of stove: spices Over stove: hood vent pipe...Wasn't supposed to be there, but that's a long story Upper to right of stove: Spices Base to left of stove: Drawer 1 (top): utensils like whisks, can openers, tongs, thermometers Drawer 2: Pyrex measuring pitchers Drawer 3: pot and pan lids Under stove: top drawer: stainless pots and colanders bottom drawer: cast iron Dutch oven and skillets, non-stick and cast iron right of stove: Drawer 1: utensils like metal spatulas/pancake turners, cooking spoons, meat fork Drawer 2: Wok and wok grate Drawer 3: waffle irons Wood cabinet to right of stove: Upper: oils and vinegars, noodles, etc. Lower: large stainless bowls, vacuum sealer, deep fryer, flip-over waffle iron On counter: canisters with flour and sugar since the baking ingredients are in the baking area and occasionally I need just a bit when cooking at the stove. The other canisters hold cookies. :-) Main sink wall The shelf built into the wall has some 'display items' at the top and coffee and tea supplies, coffee grinder, and mugs in the rest. The coffee maker sits on the counter in front of it. In the far left drawer bank: Drawer 1: kitchen towels and dish rags Drawer 2: Panini grill Drawer 3: pasta maker and salad spinner (One day I should actually try out the pasta maker...A friend gave us their extra) Then dishwasher, sink (cleaning supplies and dw detergent underneath), and the other dishwasher. The far left base cabinets hold dishes...bowls (cereal and pasta sized), plates (dinner and salad/dessert), platters, and Tupperware sort of storage containers. (I think they're actually mostly Rubbermaid) The hutch above holds glassware, pitchers, and serving bowls. Main sink side of island: From right as facing the island from that side (nearest stove): Trash and recycle pullout with knives above. 4 drawers: vegetable peelers, graters, knife sharpeners 2 mixing bowl sets 3 and 4 are yet to be determined for sure, because my dh just replaced a doored cabinet with the drawers that I thought would be more useful. A very deep drawer/pullout that holds cutting boards and rolls of plastic wrap, foil, parchment, etc. Baking side of island: Prep sink 2 drawers that hold my bread mixer and bread pans Shelves...also new, but I think I'll put baskets or boxes that will hold cake decorating supplies and cookie cutters, because they're in my way in the baking area Baking/breakfast center wall: From left... Breakfast center Upper: cereal, peanut butter, honey, crackers, chips Lower: Drawer 1: bread Drawer 2: napkins, placemats Drawer 3: water bottles Fridge with cabinet above that holds vases and plastic pitchers, and a shelf for my extra fridge shelves. Baking center with supplies like flour sugar, spices, dried fruit, flavorings, coconut, etc. etc in the uppers. Base cabinets have utensils in all the top drawers. A baking sheet rack in the doored cupboard, and in the big drawers: Top: Food processor, chopper, handmixer, stand mixer parts Bottom: cake, cheesecake, and pie pans Oven with vitamins, medicines above, and storage of extra dishes above that. In the drawer under the oven are hot pads and my pizza stone. I think that covers it and I hope it's right...I'm not going to read it over before posting, because it's taken me so long and my family wants dinner!! :-D

Our sink is not centered under the window, either. Our faucet is configured in a way that is tricky because the faucet's base is "centered" relative to the spout (which is to the left) and the handle (which is attached to the right). It's hard to explain..If you look at the pictures below, you can see what I mean. We had it mounted so that the stream from the spout flows into the drain hole of the sink. Our sink's drain hole is in the center. This faucet placement ended up to the right of center relative to the length (back edge) of the sink. We had the soap dispenser mounted to the left of the faucet to help counter balance the faucet's placement. We are right handed and the soap on the left is no problem at all. As far as the total overall look, I am happy with how things worked out. The fact that the sink & faucet are not in the center of the window does not bother me at all. Have you made any sort of mock up faucet, handle, water filter & air switch? I used a small water bottle with a piece of cardboard taped to it (cut to the approx. size, shape & height of my faucet) to simulate the faucet. You can also make a rough mock up of a water filter with anything around the house. You can put them in various placement scenarios and stand back and see how you like it. If you have the faucet & filter at your home already, then someone can hold them in place for a few minutes while you see if you like it. But, I like the mock up items to be around for a little while (more than a minute) so I can get a better feel for their placement.
