need help with my ktichen

11 years ago

We have a medium galley kitchen that we are renovating. We have a large low window it in. We were considering putting a cabinet infront of the window which doesn't look bad from the inside but I don't like from the outside. Especially since it looks out to the front of the house. Any interesting suggestion on how not to lose all that counter space?

it might not be so pricey to put a new window in that comes down just to counter height. the expensive header doesnt need to be changed, just adding a little framing at the bottom.

Try either window cabinets or shelving like in the below photos. I chose the last photo because it shows you can store normal dishes here as well.

I like how Sarah Richardson just put a lower cabinet ( pic 1) under window. I would not block widow.

Horrible idea, don't waste you budget on something that brings down the curb appeal just for extra counter space. How low is the window, could you put an 18" window seat with under drawer storage there?
