Placement of sink & faucet, help needed please.
Comments (0)Ok, I have been working on this for two days now and I would like some much needed help. I am working on my vanity cabinet for the bathroom. It will have to be made from scratch as there is nothing on the market that fits. I have a square 17.5" x 17.5" x 5" high thick green glass sink. Mine is practically the same as this but a deeper darker coke bottle green http://www.allmodern.com/Avanity-GVE450SQ-AVN1072.html I have picked out this vessel filler faucet http://www.danze.com/product_details.asp?g=2&mg=5&id=D201544 Cabinet is going to be 66" long. Where I need help is in the placement of each as they relate to each other. I have a friend that put a kitchen sink in and it hurts your back to stand and wash dishes cause the water is too far back and the sink was set too far back. I don't want to make the same mistake. I don't feel I have enough room even if I make the counter depth 24" to place the tap behind the sink. Maybe I am wrong about that. I think it must go to the right side so I have easy access and can operate the lever on/off handle. How close should I place the tap to the front edge of the sink and where should I place it? In the middle or closer to the back wall? How close should I make the sink sit toward the front edge. Just for a perspective the counter will be 32" high with a thick look edge to the counter of 2" +/-. The vanity will be off the floor 10" to give the floating look but I will be using legs due to the weight of the sink and cabinet and STUFF! So anyone have any thoughts on the matter? Any advice I am a visual person and I have the sink but I don't have the cabinet made or do I have the faucet in hand and I looked at the spec's and that didn't make any decisions for me. I had heard that 24" is really too deep for a vanity cause you can't get close to the mirrors and right now I am enjoying standing right in front of the mirrors cause there is nothing there but I am thinking with the size of the sink I don't want to make it impossible to clean behind it. Well I hope I have not totally confused everyone....See MoreSink strainer assembly for Kohler Whitehaven SInk
Comments (3)You are correct! It is huge! I have it on a 16' wall below an 8' window. I stand at the sink and think I could do with less than a second "bathtub"! That said, it has been great for parties, washing the sweet Grandkids, and it is so nice to be able to get the big frypans into the sink to wash then, and I have to say that the deal in my house is that she is kind enough to cook for me and I'm happy to do the pots and pans. It is a great sink. You will be very pleased with it! One other sink, oops thing! Since we have had the place together we have had some pretty significant parties and the 36" Whitehaven has supported everyone's efforts at the sink;)...See MoreRevised kitchen layout--need help with sink, DW placement
Comments (7)Most people prefer the dishwasher to be to the right of the sink, but it also depends where your dish/glasses storage is. I'd recommend that the prep sink go on the end of the island closest to the cooktop. Trash? Probably immediately next to the prep sink. As for the sink cabinet width, it depends on your sink. If you don't know the size of your sink, probably best to go for a 36" cabinet. One other suggestion. I found 12" drawers to be pretty useless (although I think it's a great idea to create a cabinet in the space where you wrote in "12" stack of drawers" in the island. One of my favorite cabinets in my previous house/kitchen was the cabinet dedicated to the step stool. Ours was 9" and it was extremely convenient....See MoreHelp needed with w/d and sink placement in my laundry room
Comments (38)Well, blow me down, I just checked and there IS a bubble thing only on the washer door!!!! Who knew?!!! (ok, so you did!!! :) I think I may be the only one in the world who doesn't use a basket to unload the dryer. I pile it up in my arms and then shot put it onto the counter (which is why I'm thinking having the counter closer works better than the sink, for me. Actually, if I can get around the open dryer door, it's closer to get to the counter from the dryer if it's on the right side too. If not, I'll use a nifty cart that I learned about on here. I don't use a basket because I have a bad back and don't want to bend down to pick it up.. the w/d will be as high as possible. Now I just need to make sure if the dryer is moved to the right that it isn't too far for venting. The vent is going to be coming out of the top left of the closet (it can get through the left side of the laundry room because there is a barn door covering that whole wall. So close but yet so far!!!...See MoreJoseph Corlett, LLC
