We are mid-way through a remodel on our small kitchen. Our house is relatively traditional and we are going for mild english country kitchen vibe.

We had a small miscommunication issue and peninsula was initially built to sit too far to the left (this made the peninsula cabinet bodies misaligned with the hallway, pushed countertop overhang to edge of wall and essentially squashed counter top/stool area against our large round breakfast nook table and chairs that sit immediately to the left of kitchen).

We are retooling to the extent possible. Due to an electrical box of some sort, we can only shift the peninsula back over by 4-4.5 inches to the right or it will be exposed. Prior peninsula sat 6 inches over from where this one had been built. This shrinks the cabinet immediately to the left of the sink to being only 6 inches wide (I will live with this; would even consider an open slot for cutting boards for looks).

The real question is the countertop cabinet and its width. My cabinet guy is convinced it will look terrible, but I do not want to loose it and I'm not sure he gets the vibe I'm after with it. He's also saying it should only be single door not double door. I could live with this but much prefer look of double doors and double drawers. This is really for looks; not for daily storage and will be slightly visible when you enter house. House faces south; kitchen is on opposite end of house (i.e., countertop and perhaps now edge of peninsula visible from front door looking down hallway).

Cabinet will have tile in the back that continues over/around window, natural wood shelves, glass front (other than bottom drawer[s]).

Shifting less would give us more space for a larger cabinet or we could perhaps cheat it a bit by building end panels on peninsula larger than cabinet to extend a couple inches into overhang.

Thoughts? Help? Everything is being held up while I decide this as existing cabs that are in need to be modified.
