We are almost finished with our LR makeover and I painted our old brick fireplace. So my husband decided that's where we needed to move our tv to after purchasing a new (much bigger) one. We purchased a ceiling mount from Amazon to hang it from and it works great. My husband installed it at an odd angle I thought in the corner BUT it looks great and the tv doesn't cover up all my hard work painting. If you hang it from the ceiling, it frees up so much room to add things like plants, shelving etc. Good luck!

I'd just use a very simple roman shade that blends with your wall color. Then place a piece of art above the left side of the headboard. Drapes that need to be opened and closed aren't very functional behind a bed and dresser.

I think your best advice will come from other cabinet installers. That big piece of wood is filling in a space caused by the widths of the cabinet not adding up to the space of the back wall. Ideally, they would have used two pieces of wood half the size of the one they used and divided it evenly and so the uppers and lowers lined up. My guess is that the professional installers on this forum will tell you that the job wasn't done right. But I don't know what the conditions were on or behind the uppers. And I don't know if there were other factors involved. I know I would be very unhappy if it were my kitchen. I hope someone gives you advice on how to get a change if the person who installed them won't fix it.

It doesn't look like there is much that can be done, however you could use drapery panels on both windows like you see here below: Or you might try some nice artwork in between the two windows: Perhaps you could paint the walls a lovely color as well:
