Here's a job I did for a client where they lowered the knee wall and made all one level...much like yours.

prob will look something like these

don't do corbels. make sure he does the steel supports for the overhang

if you want more pics, look at Angled Peninsula Overhang

That’s great! That makes it much easier to visualize it actually looks great going all the way to the outer wall, thank you

Tried to find pics similar to yours.

He is correct - it will look better with the top "wrapped" onto the wall

Good luck! Post after pictures so other folks can be helped...

are you going to reface the outside panel on the peninsula too?

doesn't have to be this extensive, but something w/simple trim work would look better

@The Kitchen Place that layout is almost identical to ours, thank you!! That looks great!

@Beth H. :yes that will be our next venture is figuring out the mounding, going between just something subtle like you posted, or a type of ahiplap style, thank you! also thank you I had no clue what it was even called to search it, our contractor is conking back for the official measure next week so was going to ask then, but figure I would get ahead of the game by doing some research lol

@Debbi Washburn thank you!! I will definitely be posting pictures! i just found this site recently and just browsing through everyone’s pictures has been huge help

veronica, you could do something simple like this and paint

the end panel would look like this

or do some type of tongue and groove

or go fancy w/a black stained oak in a chevron.

(you can use prefinished engineered flooring for similar designs
