Need cabinet design help for apron front farmhouse sink

2 years ago

We're doing a remodel in my daughter's small kitchen. We are trying to use one of the flat ship/you assemble cabinet companies. (Any recommendations?) I want to use a 24 inch farm sink. I know that it is always recommended to buy a cabinet that is 3 inches wider than the sink. Without having it completely custom built, I haven't been able to find a cabinet line that has a farm sink cabinet that is 27 inches. I have found one that is 30 inches, but it is difficult to find a fireclay sink that is 27 inches. We really can't go any bigger than a 30 inch cabinet. Oddly when you look at many of the pictures of the sinks they clearly are not in cabinets that are 3 inches wider. It looks like they just sit on two short base cabinets with no filler. Is this a thing? What height should these short cabinets be for a 10 inch undermounted sink? Thanks!

We have the Dickinson and have been very happy with it. But, Johnliu really did say it best. After drooling over the Rohl I realized I didn't want to shred my nerves over a sink or anything else anymore. I've seen 30 year old cast iron sinks that lived in households with 5 kids and they looked fine. DH all by himself can be the equivalent of 5 kids in the kitchen so I figured I was okay with the Dickinson. Bottom line, I guess, is "know thyself" (as well as the habits of others who will use the sink) and choose accordingly.

Not sure who cluelessincolorado is, but thanks for the link. I can make one that would be almost flush. I can square off the sides of the apron so it can be virtually flush mounted. I hope that helps Taylor.

Here are my existing photos of the Whitehaven 24," color is sea salt and this is the "tall apron" version. I can take others if you want. The sink in the background is the 33" version. FYI if you want anything other than straight white in 24" its a custom order and takes like 2-3 months. Fortunately my contractor and cabinet people were so slow it was a non-issue... hahaha. It's great size for a prep sink, but would be small for a main sink... maybe could see it like in a small apartment with significant space constraints.
