If you are planning to sell soon, I'm not sure anything you do will be a deal maker or breaker. There are however may cool things you could do with that space. My first inclination was to remove the end wall and not have a cubby.

Would make a great pantry?

Thanks for the suggestion. The pantry however backs up to the wall on the left side and it's basically cut out from the garage if that makes any sense so there isn't a good way to remove the right (as you look at it) side either which out some semi major work.

I have wanted to turn it into a pantry! I haven't been able to make any non custom cabinets work but I'm not a finish caparpentar at all so just because I haven't been able to doesn't mean it isn't still a viable option

Too bad that dining room sideboard/credenza is not much wider, because I could see something of that sort in the alcove, maybe a large mirror or artwork above (maybe even a tall-ish mirror and a few wall-mounted shelves would work - although that's a bit more permanent than you maybe want if you're selling).

Countbla, It might still look nice. I should try it just to see

What's currently there works just fine, you just have way too much stuff on the shelves. I'd paint the shelves to match the rest of the cabinets (looks like there used to be doors on them??) and only put attractive items like platters, pretty dishes, etc or decorative items on the shelves. The colored bins, Easter baskets, etc don't belong there. If you're keeping Easter candy out of reach and separated just give each kid a ziplock and shove them all in a decorative bowl, vase, or hide them elsewhere in a cabinet.

Full width floating shelves? The lower "shelf" could be 24" deep and used as a desk space with chair, while the ascending 2-3 shelves could be less deep, and display pretty serving pieces or dishes...cookbooks, etc.

Lisa G, I don't the cabinet ever had doors but I wish it did!

I'd mount a set of bypass barn doors on it and put shelves inside.

These are an example of the sort of doors I mean:

The hardware comes in various finishes from rustic or industrial to extremely sleek. Doors are your choice.

If you're planning to sell the house soon, I wouldn't do anything. The piece of furniture there is fine, I'd just declutter, put my cookbooks there, and make it useful.

There's potential in that niche for a pantry, appliance cupboard, desk, floating shelving, built in cabinet and plenty of other options. Buyers will see that.
