Want input on efficiency of g-shape kitchen w sink windows
Comments (8)I am not a layout expert at all. In the kitchen, it does look like you have room to make the peninsula area perpendicular to the rest of the cabinets instead of angled (bringing the length of cabinets along the wall out a little further). However, in looking at your house floor plan, I do have a comment about that. Your second and third bedrooms and closets are relatively small, yet you have that window seat area. It seems like that space could be better used in a few ways. You could: - make the bedrooms both several feet bigger, which would also enable the closets to be a little bugger - make your hall bath bigger with room for a double vanity Just a thought!...See MoreYour thoughts?

Comments (5)Maybe you ought to stop thinking about it as a "prep" sink. Sounds like you won't be using it for prepping, if I remember correctly. Maybe it'll stop bugging you so much. How about thinking of it as the "secondary sink", or "guest sink" or "handwashing sink?" For me, I couldn't prep at a single-bowl sink shared with the cleanup zone. I know the Stages sink is big, but you'll be washing veggies, draining pasta, etc, in the same bowl with dirty dishes. The Stages looks cool, but for me it would only work for prep. I wish I had that kind of space for such a big prep sink!;) I would need a separate sink. Maybe you don't need a separate sink at all. Is there another sink nearby in the house that others could use? (I'm just trying to help! ;) )...See MorePicking a kitchen sink: Size/Shape for the long term
Comments (9)I am squarely in the big, single bowl camp, so my opinion would differ from yours. I had a split sink, with one side much smaller than the other. The garbage disposal was in the small side, so I ended up trying to rinse and scrape dishes into a much too small side of the sink. Yours is a bit better proportioned, although I would want something that I could fit all of my cookware in---including baking sheets, large baking pans, etc. I would absolutely choose the 33 x 22 sink, but it sounds like you view things differently. So it comes down to choosing whether you want to play it safe and buy a sink that could be swapped out if necessary or buy the sink you feel would be most functional for your purposes....See MoreDoes this U shaped kitchen need a prep sink?
Comments (7)It does still look a little tight for a second sink. That said, I'll reiterate that I LOVE having a second sink - but my space is about 3' wider between the two sinks. In previous threads about whether to add a prep sink, some comments have suggested adding a second faucet to a single large sink - which allows two people to access water. Another consideration is how you use your sinks. In my case, I really like all of my coffeee/beverage stuff right next to a sink, and all the other stuff that typically sits next to a sink (drain board, dirty dishes, etc.) made a single one too crowded. So even though I said I think it might be tight for a second sink, if you really think it will make your kitchen easier for 2 people to work in, it might be worth it. Keep in mind that allocation a base cabinet to a sink affects the size any trash pullouts vs. drawers or other storage. If you do put a sink on the peninsula, I'd suggest moving it away from the edge so you have a landing zone for things coming out of the fridge....See MoreVerbo
