Look at Kitchenaddicts kitchen.

I am also interested in seeing pictures of peninsulas under windows. Thanks!

Hi dfz..

Here's my peninsula that ellendi was referring to, but I don't think this is what you mean..or is it?

Thanks! Yes, KA that's what I'm looking for. We don't have the bump out in our seating area but the layout is similar. And the window would come down to the top of the countertop. (it's an existing double casement window that won't be changed) Hopefully will get some more replies. Do you find it awkward to open that window now? In our kitchen it's a window overlooking the backyard that we open frequently.
Thanks again, dfzmom

Hi dfz..

Oh I'm so glad I could help....

It is a little tricky to open that window, but not impossible, by any means, and ours also overlooks the backyard and is opened often. We just have to lean over the counter a bit. Fortunately, it glides up smoothly without a lot of effort.

Bump. Any others out there?

My window will be above my peninsula (no seating) but I haven't started remodel yet...

Thanks Paula. I did see your layout in another thread. Are you planning on bringing the window down to the counter? Were you able to find any pictures or examples when planning this? Maybe I'm using the wrong search terms...

pudgybaby has what your looking for. I don't know how to embed her pics, but she posted under my Montana kitchen plan thread

Dfz. Did you upgrade your kitchen will you post your picture. I'm thinking of doing something similar

Op, consider a casement window. I switched from a double hung to a casement for that very reason - being able to easily open it. Only casement in our home and I love it.
