So, our kitchen designer and our GC both missed the fact that when we decided to go with deeper IKEA 15" upper cabinets instead of standard 12" ones, we ended up with the windows too close to the cabinets, and now there's not enough room for "normal" trim. We would be really mad except that I did the kitchen design and my husband is playing GC on this remodel, so we really just have ourselves to blame (kids, this is why it's worth hiring a professional).

Still, this is where we are, so I thought I'd ask all you nice people on Houzz to shame us a little and then provide us with suggestions. We have a fairly small kitchen, and we're rearranging things to put the stove flanked by 2 windows along one wall. The windows are not yet framed/installed. The image shown below is the right dimensions, but without any trim.

The kitchen will be more modern, but the rest of the house is craftsman in style, with vertical window trim about about 4-5" wide.

Options:

1. Either cut down the IKEA uppers to 12" deep or build our own boxes

2. Reduce the window trim to ??? to fit with the more modern lines of the cabinets

3. Something else clever we haven't thought of yet

Thanks for all your help!
