I like it. You saying just leave the upper cabinet come out flush with the window frame, right?

It's not planned as corner cabinet. Just a straight run.

First choice. 4. LAST RESORT: replace/move the window

Second choice. Sophie's suggestion.

I don't think you can move it because it will be too close to the stove.

I could slide the stove down a bit, but your right, most likely I would need a smaller window.

I would just hold it away from the wall and have equal width uppers on wither side of the sink. leave the wall space open for tile, art, pots/pan rack etc.

Oh I like that idea too.

Do Sophie's idea.

I'd also consider flipping the pantry and the fridge so you are not crossing the cooking zone every time you want something out of the fridge to prep.

Oh and don't be too hard on the GC and cabinet maker. I'm sure they're doing the best they can.

Reduce the width of the cabinet nearest the window by 3" and install a 3" fill between the cabinet and the wall set back to clear the window trim.

i know it is not the architect's fault.

Aaaah, the joys of dimensioning windows to the centerline.

You said it brother - drives me nuts! I'm sure somebody likes/needs it's but not me!

We have bookcase at the end of our cabinet run because you can't really reach anything in the corner anyway. So you could do a shallower cabinet at the end.

Option #17.2 Delete the window entirely.

It’s small, likely doesn’t have much of a view, and the cabinets would actually look better connecting the two walls together. My bet is that it looks unbalanced with the heavy tall cabinet to the left and the cooktop virtually in the corner next to the window. I’d do a deeper than standard corner cabinet there for some visual weight to balance things out. Then center the cooktop between the tall and the corner.

Yeah, swap the fridge and pantry. Better work flow.

cheri127 thank you for that picture. Very helpful. May I presume you planned it that way, and weren't in the predicament I am in?

Sophie Wheeler I see your point, but eliminating the window is definitely not an option.

Then do Sophies FIRST suggestion.

Yeah, swap the fridge and pantry. Better work flow.

As said, we take food out of the fridge and bring it to the sink to rinse and clean it. Then we prep between sink and cooktop and the bring the food to the cooktop to cook it.

With the fridge where you have it now, you're crossing the cooking zone to the sink. It's much easier when everything is in a "row" so you practically don't have to carry it.

If do Sophie Wheeler 's suggestion, . tile around the window and eliminate the window trim (which we my wife and I do both like). Should I do the the same around the window above the sink? Wouldn't that look strange if I did the windows differently?

Yes we are considering swapping the fridge & pantry. We set them this way to have easier access from the living room and screen porch, but it's really not a big deal. I need to check with my electrician on how much would need to change, but it's shouldn't be a big deal. Mainly it would be just adding an outlet that isn't on a GFCI protected circuit.

Here's a picture of the kitchen in it's current state. The fridge is a cabinet depth model.

You haven’t seen this in 3D perspectives, have you? That window is not going to look good. I promise you. Not unless you match it on the other side of the hood. The balance is going to be way off.

Reviving this thread, let’s see how long it lasts! Great advice from SW too.

Why is this being revived? My guess is by now the OP has solved their problem.

I was going to wait until I got the doors and trim done, but here you go. I did a mashup of solutions. Swapped pantry and fridge. Made the pantry a bit smaller so I could slide the range over and make room for an upper between the hood and window. Finally, we will do open shelving, to the right side of the window, into the "problem corner." Normal width window casing on both windows.

Instead of open shelving, we did an open cabinet in both our kitchens and I love the way it looks. I think open shelves will look nice too.
