Not only will you not be able to put a cabinet where the window is, you won't be able to put a cabinet on the adjacent wall... What is outside that window? We covered over the interior of a small, high bathroom window with a dark material and sheet rocked the wall on the inside. From outside, it looks like a normal window and from inside, you'd never know it was there. I'm not certain of what the construction of blocking the window consisted of, but am very happy with the results!

The window faces the neighbor's driveway and is basically on the property line, so few people will be looking into it (except her I guess!)

What is happening with the bump out between the windows. To get the best answers about what to do with that one part of the kitchen it’s best to post the whole floor plan.

Put in non operative glass. float 2 shelves from the right of sink over to the wall......right across the glass. on the adjacent right hand wall put a cabinet above the drawer base. this is the most simple thing to do . its a bad spot for operative window anyway. but you could leave what you have and just install a wall cab above drawer base. A cabinet in a corner spot wouldnt warrant the other work . but shelves could look good and useful. depends on willingness to prep the spot and return you woud get from cab there.

@herbflavor I just googled shelves in front of kitchen window..........I love this idea wow. you could make it intentional by flanking the sink with them.

I did just notice the sink is not centered to the middle window, I think it should be.

Making quirks like this work is what makes old houses awesome.

You have shown the plan thus far??? where is your single bowl sink? Isnt there time to nudge the sizes of sink base and actual sink?

Depending on what kind of light it gets, it could be a wonderful spot for growing kitchen herbs. Hang a couple of shelves and put a table below it for pots of culinary greenery!

thinkdesign - the existing bump out contains a steam pipe to an abandoned radiator upstairs, which can be eliminated without any issue.

I posted the current design. We haven't really figured out what to do with two corners of the room. We are considering a prep sink on the left end of the island since the stove is so far from the main sink. Also, we're using a custom cabinetmaker. The layout mockups are standard size cabinets, so if things aren't perfectly lined up in the model, they should be in the finished product.

Is there a reason the range and hood cant go in fridge spot? fridge would be left or rt of one of the doorways.

My solution to a similar situation in my kitchen was simply not to do uppers in most of the kitchen (I have one upper next to the fridge and a cabinet above the fridge; that's it). It's a nice look if you have enough storage in your lowers and pantry cabs, and it looks to me like you do. The kitchen will look bigger and you'll have better light.

I try hard not to have upper cabinets where there are great windows in a kitchen. But I need a to scale floor plan to even begin to answer this dilemma.This is what I would strive for on that wall

Can the door into the DR be moved? If it can be moved to the right, you could put the range on that wall:

ETA, do you need the large range? If a 36" range will work, then put it to the left of the sink, with the fridge on the other wall. Pantry could go in the opposite corner:

by all means try to effect the change by mamagoose there... a much better work set up. then on the lower wall if you reduce depth of this extra area /storage and so on.....you could square the island which in turn allows better walking aisle behind cooking set up. that would be wise and seats on two sides of island is nothing to shrug off. the windows are on different walls so angling the views makes sense. Otherwise a small work island with perhaps an actual table/chairs or banquette in the lower spot. this kind of option since walls remain intact makes some refreshed coziness a renewed possibility in the 100 yr old dwelling.

How big is the pantry?

@mama goose_gw zn6OH, Moving the dining room door is a possibility but there is some beautiful original wainscoting that would have to be redone. I like that it gets the range closer to a triangle configuration. The range is currently in the upper left part of the kitchen and it is very cramped (I think only about 55" of room to the window) and the pantry door interferes with the oven door. We cook a lot so we would like to have the range in a more central/accessible location.

We did a design with the floating shelves per @herbflavor's suggestion and think it looks pretty nice. The corner near the wall cabinet still looks a bit awkward, though. The pictures we found all have another corner window there!

if the two left hand windows remain operative?double hungs? maybe place the shelves on the far right mostly as a small feature. in the wall areas between windows you can place some directional sconces/ tile/ to continue w a visual focus approach. RE the cabinet above the drawers ? awkward per your scrutiny? do be aware of ways that you can vary a wall cab situation.... UP-lift style cabinets..... open cabinet without doors but matching interior....glass doored cab....reduced depth wall cab...ETC. I could see a great looking stylish faucet w some wall sconces w directional arms in a beautiful metal...then tile on the bit of wall areas and the couple floating shelves to the side. Dont think the wall cabinet on the side would be a focus so much when you look at all the other detail areas in your space.

Why not put the butler's pantry back?

Ccars2, I like your new rendering with the shelves in front of all 3 windows, however, for it to look more intentional, I would connect the shelves (make them turn the corner) to the wall cabinet.

maybe no upper cabinet on the lone wolf and do extend. I would also try to add puck lights to the bottom shelf Or LED strips .https://www.customfloatingshelves.com/led-lighting/

(not a pro) An idea in case it helps: In my cousin's former house, they wanted to maximize both windows and cabinet space. They had two cabinets installed in front of windows, and used those for nice dishes. It was really pretty.

Not his house, but an example:

I saw that too, but i think the cabinet on the far right would be awkward to open, either it would open into the wall or swing out in front of you.

I'd just place a pretty, small round or square (depending on available space) table beneath the window with a giant bouquet of fresh flowers, like daisies, and two small ice cream parlou style chairs. Voila! A nook for a cup of coffee and a book or magazine reading. And CHEAP!

Just want to comment on the off side window...back, in the day, I know that opening was for ice delivery. It was indeed a pantry, with a "fridge" , counters, glass front cabinets and a swinging door leading to the dining room.
