>Is there such a thing as a useful instance of a "corner cabinet"?

My brother in San Francisco recently remodeled his kitchen.  He had a
custom countertop made that had a corner sink.  The sink was placed in
the corner so you faced the corner when you faced the sink (so it was
rotated 45 degrees from the normal orientation). The front edge of the
countertop had the appropriate notch out on both sides of the sink so
the countertop had an edge parallel to the sink a little wider than
the sink itself.  The normal cabinets were used underneath.  He had a
window behind it on one wall.  Presumably, you could use cabinets that
when closed also had a 45 degree angle from the two walls.  The
storage area is pentagonal but at least it is all accessible (think
about a lazy susan there!).  Whatever you do, don't put some big
appliance just to one side of a corner.  My house has a built-in
oven/range there that makes the adjacent corner space below the
counter virtually inaccessible.
