Kohler stages 33 + prep sink OR the big bad stages 45 only?
Comments (5)Stages is a prep sink. If you're going to take advantage of its features, it's the place you prepare your ingredients. Since you have room for it, go for the big one. Part of the point is that you can use the accessories to make it into counter space as well. OTOH, if you tend to leave a lot of dirty dishes in your sink, hide them there, having a separate clean-up sink for hiding the dishes is a good idea. Alternatively, have you seen the Galley sink??...See MorePullout kitchen faucet for Kohler 45" Stages sink?
Comments (4)I think the hose lengths of most faucets are listed in the specs on plumbing supply websites. I'll link the site I used for many, many months of research. Click on the faucet you like and check the specs. If the hose length isn't listed, try asking a question in the Q/A section at the bottom of the product page. I always got great answers when I did that. HTH! Here is a link that might be useful: Faucetfdirect...See MoreKohler 45 sink question
Comments (26)Mrs Pete, I designed the cabinets holding the sink to be 36 + 15 inches but since Dutchwood is full custom they combined the cabinets to reduce wasted space and to allow the wide 45 inch toekick drawer underneath. That perfectly fits the Kohler accessories and a few extra cutting boards. The divider between the "sink base" and the drawer stack is exactly where the wall would have been between the 36+15 inch cabinets. I found this picture in my pinterest files of someone who did 36' + 12 " for their Stages 45 sink. The Ikeafans website link no longer works so I will post it here with the words that I copied out of the post. As bbtrix said, you can use almost any width drawer stack under the shallow side of the sink. I agree with bbtrix that the center of the sink is the perfect place for the trash. It allows two cooks, one on each side of the sink, or coming from elsewhere in the kitchen to use the trash and the trash drawer is usually open only about 10 inches the whole time we are prepping, since we do not need to access the recycle portion in the back during prepping. Previously, I had a trash mounted on a swing out door and that could not be left open while working at the sink so it was a royal PITA for two cooks or even one cook. I actually thought the trash cans were too large at first since I like smaller grocery bags so that the bags are replaced before they get stinky. I solved this by stashing my spare grocery bags under the current trash and the spare paper bags in front of the recycle trash.The front plastic can is about 17 tall x 14 wide x 10 deep at the top....See MoreKohler 8 degree and Stages 45 owners- couple of questions
Comments (3)I have the Stages. I run the faucet (on spray) around with the grid in to drive all the bits down the disposal. Once in a while I will tilt the grid up to get under it with my brush to drive the recalcitrant bits down the disposal. HTH...See Moreci_lantro
