When I did my kitchen, I had the designer pulling his hair out. I am a lefty, so wash dishes from right to left..I wanted my dishwasher on the left of my sink..he pitched a fit and told me I'd never be able to sell the house if I did that! I found out later he wanted to put the pics of his design into some designer contest, and that's why the fit. Point is..your kitchen, put everything where it's comfortable for you. I am now in the process of swapping my sink, as it is the only part of my kitchen that I don't like..it's a white composite sink, and impossible to keep white..it attracts stains from everywhere...so out it goes.
