Two cabinet heights/what to do with windows below counter height
Comments (4)Thanks so much, I really appreciate the feedback. The butcher block island/table we have there now has really great functionality for me. I have the microwave (which I kind of hate having) and my breville toaster oven on the lower shelf and I also store my kitchenaid down there. The top that lines up with the countertops is amazing for giving me lots of working space. It's just awkward with the windows being below and aesthetically it doesn't really jibe with the rest of the kitchen now... Dumb questions - with the windows - is it possible to just raise the sill up/just get a smaller bottom pane to the window? Removing the entire window and moving them up will not be possible right now (we just finished renovating the rest of the kitchen - moving water and gas, opening wall, new flooring counters, etc.!) The real pain is that they only need to come up about 2-3 inches if I were to make the counter be the sill. I like the idea of doing something like a 30 or 33 and having a butcher block. The only issue with that is that I was planning on having butcher block for the countertop since we just did the countertops throughout the kitchen with White Macauba... I guess I could possibly do different woods if I were to have a butcher block counter and a thick block on top... I am still open to any and all suggestions! Thanks!...See MoreCurtain Dilemma - Windows at Different Heights
Comments (8)You'll want your curtains to be able to 'stack off' the openings to either side so as not to obstruct your view. If you're concerned about dark hardware highlighting any space over the patio door, I'd suggest a brushed nickel finish that complements your darker lighting touches but doesn't repeat them here, on all the openings. It's also closer to the saturation of your wall color, so a matte, midtone metal (neither black or white hardware) won't draw they eye as a statement feature.

Comments (22)@HU-36691265 - Sorry for confusion - I can clearly see the middle windows are separate! it will look great doing inside mount with a single shade for each window! It would also look great outside mounted but you won’t know your options until you find out how much space the header takes for the style of shade you decide on. It might be really tight in space between molding top & soffit on that right window. If you’re needing window treatments for your entire house, it’s worth it to have someone come to your house. @Flo Mangan mentioned Smith and Noble & there are others - Budget Blinds etc. They all have many styles of shade & blinds & are really helpful. You might get a new house discount if you ask& are doing all the windows. @Lorraine Blasetti - Drapes have been discussed at length & don’t work in this situation! The OP prefers drapes too but has wisely moved on! 😊 Blinds also come in fabrics i.e. Silhouettes etc....See MoreHow do I hang curtains with different ceiling heights?
Comments (4)I would hang the one on the left higher. They don’t have to be the same height … it’s a very charming look with your type of ceilings to do them differently. Lovely wall color!...See Morebobtheblindguy
