countertop overhang with flush inset base cabinets?
Comments (4)I have inset cabinets and did a 1/2 inch overhang. I have a traditional kitchen. I agonized over this and at this point cannot remember why but then worried that it was too short and stuff would run down the counter. I've had no trouble with it but would be more concerned if it was smaller because of the lack of the buffer to the cabinet fronts- for both standing in front or drips coming down....See MoreCan I get a 30' sink base cabinet made with drawers?
Comments (7)i found the to-scale drawing i made of a 30" base cabinet i liked, with an inset door and 2 drawers. the cabinet itself is 30" wide by 32" high, without counter; the countertop will have to be longer if you want any overhang. i plan to build this myself, for my kids' bathroom. i think its a nice looking cabinet. here are some details of the front that might help you. there is a false drawer front (which could be a tilt-out) at the top of the cabinet. it's 4 1/2" tall x 25 1/4" long. above and below it are the top and middle horizontal pieces (rails) of the frame, each at 2 1/4" wide. this covers the basin area. below, starting at 9" down from the cabinet's top (not including the counter top) are the door and drawers. the door is 12 3/4" wide x 16 7/8" tall. the inner edge of the door is in the center of the cabinet. the drawers are each about 10 1/2" wide x 7 1/2" tall. the vertical members on the right, left and middle of the face frame (stiles) are 2 1/4" wide, as are the top, middle and bottom rails (horizontal members.) in addition, it has 4" tall legs, which are the tapered ends of the stiles. since the drawers are not at the very top, they don't interfere with the basin. and if you wanted all drawers and no door, you could modify it....See MoreHelp with a sink base cabinet and apron sink
Comments (20)Problem solved! (For me anyway....might work for you too though.) I called Franke and they confirmed with their warehouse that the sinks are branded with their logo on the INSIDE of the bowl, on the right hand side of the sink. The photos that show the logo on the apron front are old and they have not been making them that way for a while. If you get it from homeclick.com, there is a 10% off Franke coupon through 7/18: FRANKE10 that makes it $810. That's the best deal I can find so I'm going to get it from them. Hope this works for you too!...See MoreHelp with sink base cabinet, please.....
Comments (6)X-posting: Can you float it on two (15"?--18"?) drawer bases, and build a platform for the undersink area, just to keep stuff off the floor. You're planning to use a curtain anyway? You could use wood pieces to span the gap, and provide support. I have a similar potting sink that I placed on top of an old table frame (one of the science lab tables), so maybe building a frame is an option....See MoreBeachygirl
