I wonder once you have tiled and the pendant is installed if you will notice the space difference as much. I think the curtain is pretty though and will hide the difference well. I know you’re replacing it, but I do like that style of window.

Tuank you both for these wonderful thoughts. That is a filler on the left side on the end. Are you saying to insert a filler to the left of the end cabinet, between the cabinets? That sounds smart.

Heres a photo of the whole wall. The end cabinet is an L-pullout so you can’t put a filler between cabinets.

Don't over think It?

I see a nice leafy view, despite near the street? or that's your driveway?

Perfect symmetry is generally quite overrated. The slight differences at the window ? The right is to me, not something that wants attention.

Were this my kitchen or you my client?

I would tile only to the cabinet bottom, The recent fad trend, tile to the ceiling,, ( despite water never gets that high lol......will accent the skimpy side, making you want to hide it with a curtain, to dangle into a soap bottle , a plant....or . be splashed and soiled

Just tile to cabinet bottom hang the pendants, and add a light filtering roman shade. The mount? Use the ceiling: )

Could be a linen, a natural woven wood? anything you can yank UP and out of the way when dealing with a greasy roasting pan.

Like this, but you'll see NO dry wall above top window casing

( it's a great window, you're emphasizing, so try not to clutter that sill: )

Thank you so much for such a wise and thougtful post.

I love Jan's examples.

: ) Next?? The day is young....

A bit of how and why......

Add.......? ^^

Drywall is a tad overrated too.....! Right?

I love woven natural for the way they can unify other windows near the kitchen, even with decorative panels

Chris that is what I am saying. How are those cabinets on the left opened without hitting each other on the hinge side?? The spacer on that side isnt to create symetry it is for the doors to function correctly.

IMO the curtain will draw attention to the spacing . Do you need a curtain ? Can we see the rooms next to this space so we have some clue as to what your style is .

Is the sliver of space you have on the left side deep enough for a built-in spice rack or for a rack to hold cookbooks?

I think the real issue is you obsess at the start, not at the finish?

Sometimes the need to stay within a budget, or even a DIY kitchen will sprout flaws,,,,

Lower left and right of sink base ?..........

The filler of annoyance at the window, could have gone left of left side cabinetry. Its the minutae of kitchen planning and the reason it takes hours, hours and more hours to write a cabinet order,

It's the why, despite I can very well design a lovely and functional kitchen? I don't write one single order and I hand MY plan to my pro kd. : )

Symmetry can be overrated and in this example just not worth stressing over. It is what it is.

I'd skip curtains entirely and just tile to the ceiling. No fabric to worry about. Clean lines. The uneven sides become less obvious when the whole wall is tiled. Your pendants can just float.

Jan Moyer: “Perfect symmetry is generally quite overrated.” Yes, I agree, actually I prefer assymetry ……even in a much more exaggerated state.

I think the average person would not look twice at the difference around the window. I like Jan's drawing. and agree get the stuff off the window sill.

LOl True and yes^^

Make a feature , which it is, not get visually confused with an under the sink spot : )

what Jan said. no curtains, blinds. and I'd still trim out the window even tho it's uneven. I'd even consider tiling around the entire thing to make it less noticeable.

not sure why you're doing two pendants. one would suffice

I think tiling around the window will call attention to the difference instead of hiding it.

It just kills me, when easy is at your fingertips, and suddenly it seems "complicated"

It isn't. Don't get hung up on "weeny" . No to the tile please? Ignore this minor difference please?

One more? Tile is lovely has a place, for decoration and protection. Let me know when in doing your dishes...you send water that high. A kitchen is a kitchen not a sauna: )

Beth is a tile genius, it's always great tile advice from Beth.

But you need none to the ceiling, and none.....around the window. Do simple and enjoy the view.In whatever shade you love...

Suggest a roman blind and place as high up/against cabinets as possible and the eye will be fooled. Instead of adding a pendant, a semi flush in this small area (on a dimmer) will not overwhelm/take away from the view and be sure to add greenery/herbs on ledge.

Thanks everyone. so many great insights. I’ll post photos soon.
