How much countertop overhang will you have? How thick and tall is your backspash? This is an undermount sink. You will need a bit over 2.5" from the edge of the sink to the backsplash, more would be better. The cutout in the sink edge is for a single hole faucet, not 3 holes but maybe someone could sand it down a bit without damaging it. If you place the sink towards the front of the cabinet, you would have 3"-4" to place the faucet. The holes are small (5/8") but the trim is larger (2-3/8"). To get it centered so that it looks right but won't strike the backspash depends on the backspash thickness. I think you can do this, but it would be tight. You would need to install the faucet before the countertop is attached to the base. IMHO. YMMV. ETC. PS: you'll need something to hold up that sink.

We have always had the trash under the sink; the recycling lived in another room. For the reno, I was planning to use a separate 18" cab for a recycling pullout, and keep the trash under the sink; to make enough room for the 18 cab, however, I had to go down to a 27" sink cab. GW posters convinced me that a better use of space would be to use a 36" sink cab, and put both trash and recycling under that cab. To that end, I got a corner drain. The trash lives in front of the GD, and the recycling pull out will (eventually) go in the open space on the left. As far as getting nudged while at the sink, well, that happens to us, too. Rather than get annoyed, however, we have a saying: "Quit your b1tchin', it's the law of the kitchen!"

My situation is somewhat unusual. This is my home, yes. I personally don't need a built-in fridge. I could care less for myself, although the Maytag I bought when I bought the house is a POS total waste of money. The reason for this reno, though, is that the bulk of my income comes from renting my house to vacationers, primarily in the summer. I am not on or near the saltwater beaches, so I have to rent on the strength of the house. This summer, I had an invasion ants (it's an old house, as well, 1880, the part where the kitchen is). As well, mice have constantly come into the kitchen via the crawlspace below because no one really sealed the kitchen off from the crawlspace when they built the kitchen. I've plugged everything with steel wool, though, and that has taken care of the mice, although they're still able to get in behind the cabinets, just not into the kitchen proper any longer. But with the ant invasion this summer, I had to refund some rent money as an act of goodwill and apology to a few of my guests. I don't want my guests to have these kinds of problems, obviously, and I don't want to have to reimburse rent (my income/livelihood). I had sealed the window on the outer wall and never had a problem with ants, until this year. They are now coming in from behind the dishwasher...long story . My cabinets are horrible. Two drawers have completely fallen apart, and one door split, which I glued back together. They are scratched up, sagging shelving and backing, particle board stapled cheap you-know-what. So, to get the kitchen fully sealed off so critters can't get in there, I have to pull everything out to get to the walls and underfloor. If I'm doing that, I will replace the cabinets, floor and counter (which is now a laminate). My kitchen is a very small, u-shaped kitchen. I can't open the fridge door all the way because it hits the oven door, so cleaning the vegetable bins is very hard because it's very hard to get them out and back in since I can't open the door all the way. But my house has two wings to it, which makes it very appealing for two families who want to vacation together and split rental rent. Each family has a lot of privacy since there is a queen bedroom in each wing, each with its own bath. But with two families, a tiny kitchen is problematic. With the fridge jutting out into the floor, as it does now, two people cannot work in the kitchen. Hence my need for a 24-in. depth fridge. And then you get into, if you're going to spend that kind of money for a refrigerator, get the right one, even if it costs a bit more. You're already spending a *^*(&)ing fortune. I'm getting the paneling for three reasons: I really dislike stainless steel; I am terrified of tenants scratching SS; a SS fridge would look gargantuan in my tiny kitchen. I move out when my house is rented.

You need to make a very accurate measurement from the bottom of the top to the top of the recess cabinet rail. Is it 8 1/2" or not? If so, an 8" deep sink will fit by 1/2". The other dimensions become irrelevant. If your engineered stone is 2cm with a 2cm edge build up, the bottom of the stone has now moved up 2cm which is a strong 3/4". Now you've got 8 1/2" + 3/4" = 9 1/4" which will accommodate most sinks. On a remodel, your cabinets may need to be shimmed on the top to get to level anyway, but I'd pick up the 1/16" + needed to get a Kohler 3821 into that top anyway. Make sure the sink you pick doesn't have a centered drain please; you want your disposal to clear. I strongly recommend a large single bowl sink.
