You could also polish and bevel the granite edge so it looks like it was designed in such a way! However, I like the first option better, pad out the trim or use five quarter trim stock!!

Thanks - filler behind the trim is pretty much what my GC and I had come up with, also. We also talked about routing out the entire backsplash area a little to recess the backsplash, but that would be complicated and more costly.

Is there 5/4 trim stock? We have to replace all the trim anyway - changing from Ranch style back to original Colonial style.

The other problem is that the current sill(the piece that sticks out at the bottom of the window that you can put things on) on one of the windows is exactly 1.25" deep (to the wall), so extended trim and granite will be flush with it, and we don't want to try to extend that sill much because of crowding the faucet. I'm afraid that may look odd.

What about using granite for the sill? Kitchenaddict's finished kitchen is one that comes to mind where she used tiles (same as backsplash) for the sill...If you can find her kitchen, I think you could visualize how the granite could work as a sill.

Thanks, Briana. I have seen pretty marble sills in some pictures, too. The windows tend to be deeper set than mine. I might be able to make a granite sill, although I'm not sure if there's anything to anchor it to. But if I can make a deeper granite sill, I could make a deeper wood sill. There isn't really room behind the faucet to make the sill much deeper. The real problem is up the sides, I'm afraid.

My granite fabricator said he can bevel the edges down to meet the trim. I never thought of that.

Thanks, advertguy, caayu, and Briana for your input.
