Pics of the rest of the kitchen (so far)

Usually a window wall is tiled to the ceiling when you have walls/corners on both sides to give you concrete ending points.

Will you extend the crown into the kitchen?

I personally would not tile up to the ceiling over that window.

a backsplash is to protect the wall from splashes from the sink under the cabinets is far enough. What will you put on the open shelves? decor? Why not just cut back the sheetrock to the end of the new countertop and make the shelves longer? Why does it have to be the same on both sides?

Pics of the rest of the kitchen (so far) chispa: originally it sort of had a natural ended where the old counter was. I didn’t realize until the counters were installed today with the additional overhang that I had messed that up (not the first mistakes I’ve made on this project and probably not the last).

Lyn. Thank you for your comments. I had sort of wanted a little drama around the window thus the whole wall. Sort of like this picture. The shelves are decor mostly. I think I have plenty of actual storage. There’s a pantry off the kitchen too.

But there is a corner there and not just a perpendicular wall of tile floating in the middle of the wall and room ...

Chispa. Yes I realize that now

How do you think it would look if I have my cabinetmaker make a tall narrow wine cabinet that would be approximately the width of the new overhang and would provide a stopping point for the tile?

I was thinking something vaguely like this but a better design

Agree that if you want to tile the entire window wall, it will look much better if there is an end-cabinet or end-something on the peninsula side.

The minimum depth for the wine rack is 12” which will cut into your peninsula seating on either side of the cooktop. Will it be too tight?

How many stools are you trying to fit in at the peninsula?

What is the width and length of the peninsula (from end to wall)?

What are the measurements of the cooktop going on the peninsula?

I am flexible on the number of barstools as we mostly use the space for socializing while cooking. One of us will sit there and talk while the other cooks or friends or family sit there while we cook. We don’t need the space for casual dining as we have a banquette right off the kitchen where we eat when we don’t use the big dining table. (Picture attached) The length of the countertop from wall to end is 146 in (12.2 ft). The cooktop is 46 1/4 wide and 22 3/4 deep. I don’t think the wine cabinet would affect the use of the countertop.
