   Right off the top of my head, if I was going to do what your showing and wanted to maintain the Euro look, e.g. 3/32" revel, then I'd still build the cab's the way you show and over lap the doors and drawer fronts so as to hide the left and right side fillers. That way you maintain your 3/32" - 1/8" revel and you get your cabs the way you want.

   Does any of that make sense!

   EDIT; Forgot to mention that your fillers would be mounted to the side of the cabinet box, not proud of it as shown in your drawing, that way the door and drawer fronts will overlap to give you the revel that your looking for.

   Thanks, Doug, for the suggestion.

   The doors with their large overlays will work just fine, hinged on the sides away from the inside corner, but the drawers, with center pulls, may feel a little funny.  We may try it, though.

   I have posted the same Q over at Woodweb's cabinetmaking forum, a far larger group of cab-making specialists than may be hanging out here.  I have also asked for advice from my supplier.  We'll see what happens.

   Oh those pesky corner cabs with sinks.

   I never have liked those, but I'm just a plumber not a designer.

   I have seen it done with a smaller base cab brought out more to the front corners of the 2 side cabs with minimal fillers.

   That does limit the size of the sink sort of, we cut down the side walls to fit the sink. The GD was about an inch away from the left wall, man that was tight.

   Keep the sink cabinets face frame, junk the rest (or set it aside for for use later). Site build the sink cabinet(sometimes I just frame the "floor" and the "top" of the sink unit), so that the side cabinets and sink cabinet aline the way you want them to. I have had to do this several times. Pitr but looks clean when done.

   I agree.
