Are you doing a sink bump-out? The first sink especially is quite wide front to back, so be sure to check your available space. It would be sad to have to have your faucet on the outside window sill. :-)

No we are not doing a bump out. We were going to put the faucet at the top curve.

What are your reasons for going with an irregular shaped sink? How come not a symmetrical large sink? Just curious.

I think just for something a little more interesting and also so that we can have a little more space behind one part of the sink. If we were to go with a symmetrical sink it would be 18 inches wide all the way around. Also I read on here that having an offset drain is nice so that if you want to soak something you can do so without blocking the drain.

I dislike stainless sinks and irregularly shaped sinks, but I have a comment on the brand you're looking at. Have you looked at Ticor sinks? They have a great reputation here for good quality stainless at much cheaper prices than those listed above. Many here have purchased theirs through Galaxy Tool Supply with good experiences.

Please disregard my thoughtless comments in the first sentence of my last post. Sorry.

No problem...everyone is entitled to their own opinion and everyone has their own preferences.

The sink is included in the price of the granite so that's what we are going with.

I like the rounder one. It seems softer.

What granite are you getting? I think the feel of the granite will make my decision.

Here is our granite:

Disregard the damaged cabinet.

The top one. Greater depth = more interior room. Softer look. AND, without the additional hard turns; easier to clean.

The rounded one with that granite:-)

Those are both like my sis's Franke Orca, which she loves. Either are good. Depends on whether you are going for more traditional look overall or more modern.

If trad, then I'd go with rounded. If modern, I'd go with more squared off. Also, if the faucet you're planning is more along trad lines it should look better with the rounded. If more streamlined then with the square.

I don't feel the granite has much to do with it. I'd decide based on overall look.

That's the same sink, but in Ticor brand I was thinking of. Which did you choose? Has it been installed? I would love to see a photo if you have one.

I prefer the second shape.

Those sinks both compare themselves to the Franke Orca. Why not get the real thing? I paid just over $600 for a Franke Orca a few months ago and I am thrilled with the choice.

This sounds like a job for the Sweeby Test! Which of these sinks takes you closer to the feeling you want in your kitchen?

Sorry, I didn't know that this thread was still going. We picked the rounded sink. It is not installed yet. I am going to post pictures of the entire kitchen remodel once the granite is in, which should be around the 18th.

Just found this post and think the rounded is a great choice - please post pics - can't wait to see how it looks!
