I've mentioned this before on another thread quite some time ago, so forgive the repeat. But, my
MIL
had a corner sink base (not sure the brand, but from a big box store). I know the door was only 12" or so. She had a full size, 2-bowl sink in hers. Perhaps it just can't be done with IKEA cab's?? I am at least considering a corner sink base if it can be done.

Not sure which cabinet you've got, but basically because the
akurum
37" corner has an inside ninety degree corner you're sorta SOL. If the door was a fourty-five degree inside corner it would be SOOOOOOOOOO much easier. Something we've mentioned to IOS before but doubt there will be a NA only change.
Yes, still searching. My design requires a corner sink due to plumbing pipes that can't be relocated without huge expense. If you have any advice please share!
Robin, another forum member, did a corner sink by placing a regular Ikea cabinet at an angle in the corner. Here's the thread where she explained how they did it:
p.s. I see now that another member,
DIY
, also did this mod, and has kindly including pictures and explanations in the same thread. With all that info from the two of them, I'm sure you can figure something out.
My current kitchen, as I was told by the previous owner, had the cabinets built on site by the builder, so nothing is standard. Measurements are all over the place - basically they just built some particle board frames and put some stock cabinet doors on them. As you can imagine, after 18 years they are deteriorating - particle board dust is on lots of things, although I did put polyurethane on the upper shelves to seal them and keep them from detiorating as quickly. I've looked at Robin's thread and think that is what we will do. One of my issues is that I'm not very good at visualizing spaces - things look good on the planner but I'm afraid once we get the current stuff ripped out it won't work. I've measured and remeasured soI think I will just have to trust the planner and hope for the best. You can see pics of my current kitchen at this link: http://www.oldtiredkitchen.shutterfly.com The tile on the floor is new and we will be keeping that - we have extra if we need to redo spots. Can't move the wall the fridge is on due to air return ducts. We will demolish the soffit and take everything in the kitchen area down to the studs.
We are pushing back the kitchen remodel due to needing a new roof and new AC unit - can't live without the AC in Texas - so we won't start anything until the new year at least. I really appreciate all the help and encouragment I've gotten from this list! Wouldn't have the guts to do it without it!
