Sorry the moen faucets are from the Weymouth collection. Bar faucet linked below.

This is a link to one of the few images I could find with kitchen faucets mounted on the sides of the sink, in case anyone is trying to visualize that option.

If the regular Moen Weymouth faucet is $150 less than the bar faucet AND has a pullout I would just get two regular faucets. The flow rate is probably higher also.

Are you talking about bumping out your Stages sink to a regular 24 inch depth? I am not sure that you can have much less than that to accommodate deck mounted faucets. You might be able to save an inch on the front by using a ledger board to support the sink instead of the clips but the installers will require a minimum amount of granite depth between the front edge and the sink cutout. In the back you will need get the diagrams and specs on your intended faucet to figure out the faucet centerline and be sure that it fits. Again the installers will have required minimum distances from sink cutout to faucet hole centerline. The escutcheon (base of the faucet) is larger than the sink hole and there is usually an locking ring underneath which the largest piece and is screwed up to tighten the faucet. That locking ring is key since it has to be able to turn and be turned by someone's hand, Which means that someone's hand has to be able to get between the sink edge and the cabinet edge to turn it.

I over-thought my installation because I had regular 24 inch deep cabinets and in the end the wonderful soapstone template guy rethought everything anyways, but here is the mockup I did with cardboard to plan the faucets, insta-hot, air gap, and soap dispenser. The different rings in a stack reflect the faucet hole, the escutcheon size, and the size of the locking ring underneath. The center line for the faucet holes is marked on the cardboard and can be easily adjusted on top of the back of the cabinet to be sure that things fit.

Yes, I'm considering bumping the sink cabinet out to standard depth--it would stick out about three inches from the surrounding cabinets.

Do you think it would look weird to have two full size faucets, one in the center and one on the side? I must admit that I refer the looks of the bar faucet, but can't use it as the main faucet for lack of a sprayer. I keep toying with the idea of a side spray but it seems they don't work as well and it would be just one more thing sprouting from the sink. . . .

Thank you!

Since I have the Stages with 2 faucets and love it, I don't think it looks strange in the least :). Everyone exclaims over how useful it is when they are using it. Most people put one just inside the deep part of the sink next to the shelf and another aligned with the drainage hole.

I think two faucets look fine with it. I have seen your pictures and I like that set up. But they are installed equidistance from the sides, right? Like your description above. So there is symmetry.

What I'm considering is one centered on the whole sink and one at the back corner. So no symmetry. When I have seen set ups like that (albeit with other sinks) the one at the corner usually been an instant hot water or filtered water faucet and has been substantially smaller than the main faucet.

One reason I'm considering this is that it would keep the kids' use as far to one side as possible.

Depends on what you are using the 2 faucets for. If the second is only to dispense drinking water putting it over the ledge is fine. If you want to have one person rinsing veggies and one person rinsing dishes then you might want to have both faucets over the deeper part of the sink due to splashing. There is no splashing when the water from my faucet hits the higher shelf directly but if I have a colander with veggies at the high level of the shelf, water will splash out from hitting the veggies. So really depends if you are going to have 2 cooks or 1.

So I could center one faucet, which would be over the deep part. And then put the other faucet in the back corner by the deep side. And that faucet would be for kid hand washing and getting drinks. I'm not anticipating two people actually prepping at the sink, just the random kid hit and run.

So if I did that--one main faucet in the center of the whole sink and one in the back corner for the kids to wash their hands and get water to drink--wouldn't it look better for that secondary faucet to be smaller?

crl, for how you plan to use the sink with two faucets, I would not get the stages because of the integrated drainboard--i.e., someone on the drainboard end of the sink turning a faucet on full blast and making a splashy mess of things.

Instead, I would get a large single bowl sink like this 48" whopper:

"BIG Sink"

Or this smaller one that has an integrated ledge that allows you to use Stages like accessories:

"36 Single"

Note-- Top mount sinks can generally be undermounted if that is a concern....although, in your space constricted situation, you may decide to use a laminate counter top because solid surface usually demand more dead space in front of the sink.

And, since no one else has weighed in on the Weymouth...I think it looks too fussy, esp. in pairs...too "Look at ME". And a lot more trouble to keep wiped down. I realize that you're shooting for a vintage feel...but, IMO, the Weymouth kinda shouts faux vintage in a not very good way. But, keep in mind that this is just the impression of someone who has hard water and yields more to contemporary and/or utilitarian faucet design.

I just looked at my sink and I think two identical faucets would look fine if you positioned them each about 2 inches in from the corners of the deep part.My pullout faucet on the shelf side is positioned that way and I can still stray the outside corners of the sink with it. That would give you added function while still having the kids stay out of your working area.

Thanks for all the input.

I do planto use the stage for prep work as well. But the faucet issue relates to the secondary kid use.

I'm not thrilled with the Weymouth. But I haven't found anything I am thrilled with. The faucets I like the most seem to either not be pull down/outs or to scream modern. Most authentic would be a bridge wall mount of some kind, I think, but that has some implementation issues and seems to eliminate an integrated sprayer.

I'd be happy to see suggestions of alternative faucets to consider!

Here is a delta that is very modern, but maybe it whispers modern instead of screaming it? I like the shape.

I don't have a specific faucet recommendation, but I'd like to gently remind you that the kids that are racing in and out right now will be useful kitchen helpers in just a few short years. They can and should learn to cook before they leave home. This learning process can start pretty early (at least by age 6 or 8 in our household, if not sooner. They love to help out!) Because of this, I'd want the faucets placed where one person could be prepping while another is using the other faucet for other things with minimal splashing from each. Hth.

Thanks! They do help some now. But there is counter space where helpers of any age can prep (both next to the sink, on the range run, and best of all for kids is the pull out countertop in the orginal built-ins--it's too low for a standing adult, but great for kids.). So I would anticipate that only one person would be using the sink for prep space at a time.
