countertop overhang

last year

I am renovating my kitchen. My kitchen is small and every inch of countertop counts. First photo is how new kitchen will look like. Second photo is current kitchen. I have a large window. Right now plan is to have countertop have a 1.5 inch overhang so it is flush to top cabinet and aligned with window.
I was thinking to perhaps extend the overhang to 9 inches so I have extra countertop. The additional 9 inches will protrude past the edge of the window. In the second photo the half wall on the right will be taken down to open the space. Living room is on the right of second photo / bottom of first photo. Would appreciate any thoughts on the additional 9 inches overhang by window? Was thinking of putting a small plant in the corner on counter to hide additional overhang. I know it’s not ideal but I am limited by size of my kitchen and placement of my window ( don’t want to move window as too $$) . Right now width of countertop is standard 24 inches ( so 25.5 with the small overhang). Adding an extra 9-12 will add a lot more counterspace. The peninsula is all I have. Thanks for any input.
