What's behind that wall? Could the wall be pushed back so the adjacent cabinets could be continued?

I think a hutch would be okay if it doesn’t go to the window. that’s what i would probably do, assuming some of the stuff you are storing would look better behind closed doors! narrow shelving does hold pantry items well though if you don’t want to block light at all.

Shop at thrift stores for a free standing old china cabinet. Hit it with some chalk paint to up date it. Could easily be under $100.

My condolences…this kitchen configuration makes no sense…and it looks new/newer! I’d get a cost estimate on reconfiguring the layout using the existing cabinets/appliances/counters/etc and any additional materials. I’m thinking of a modified galley layout that has the breakfast bar on the bay window side of an island instead of encroaching on the dining room. Maybe that type of island could be installed without/with minimal modification of the current layout. Best wishes.

Yes--a narrow hutch or china cabinet, preferably vintage, preferably not owner painted (because those tend to look bad, and that includes most DIY painted pieces).

An upscale piece of furniture can be had for that spot pretty inexpensively if you stick with preowned stuff. A stained wood hutch will be nice with your whites, and of course your blue dining table. (I happen to have had that exact model table on my patio for over a decade and it's faded but still strong.)

The store where you got that table also has some decent free-standing cabinets that might work for you if you want to stay modern--a rolling cart/island with lower storage can be placed there under the cow portrait, for example.

I purchased this (Ikea IDANAS Cabinet) for a similar location in our house - near our back entrance along an awkward wall. It is relatively slim but pretty tall and looks more expensive than it is (note: as with all things Ikea, we basically assembled it and left it there - we haven't moved it to another house or anything, so it's been sturdy enough to serve its current purpose). It holds a ton of random toddler and family stuff (we put our boots, etc. in the lower shelves). It would coordinate well enough with your existing cabinetry, and you can always hang some artwork above it if you like.

Another option (I have three of these units in my utility room, and people have commented they think they're built-in's/permanent cabinets): HAVSTA Storage Cabinet They are solid wood and very sturdy, plus they hold a lot of stuff.

Also, my daughter literally just announced to us the other day that she has officially outgrown that Elmo pottie. Also served its purpose, I suppose!

It's seems to be a weird layout and bad use of space. I see a fireplace through a door so it must be a living room, I also see the dinning room, but I'm stumped what the space is used for with the child's table in it. A tall 12" or 16" maximum pantry cabinet on the wall between the window and refrigerator. Using the frig as reference I'd say 36" wide will work nicely and can be temporary with no damage needed except for a screws to attach to the 2 x 4's in the wall.

Check market place and Craigslist and you may find something cheap or even free.

We knocke a wall out and that is why it might look odd. the bay window needs some chairs and i think it would look better . cant change layout! just spent alot of money . have to do wity what we have now

Ikea sells 15x15 tall pantry units. Expect long wait times if in the US they are more popular in Europe. I used 2 to make a 30x15 deep fridge surround in a tight space for an added pantry. They are so handy and you might be able to get custom doors too match your existing cabinets.

I don’t understand how the refrigerator, windows and the rest of the kitchen all fit together. Can you do a quick floor plan with measurements?

whats the pantry under at ikea?? The kitchen was renovated and wall knocked out

What is that doorway??

There are unfortunate aspects of this renovation that could have been avoided with professional help. The first is what brought the OP here: removing a wall to create an open plan often involves loss of cabinet space. This was compounded by not running new cabinets to the ceiling.

Then there is the juxtaposition of flooring colors and types, where the flooring boundary no longer aligns with the layout (see dishwasher). Sorry, but this is just odd.

We all have to learn, and I'm sure the OP would do it differently today. To those who question the value of a kitchen designer, it does pay.

Well its too late now. i dont think its that bad. i agree its not the best but we wanted it more open! so have to work with it now. so i need a sitting area by window . what typw of chiars would go?

Had to have a support beam. i didnt like but only choice

How about a bakers rack? Would you have enough room for a skinny island?

well the one nice thing is the visuals straight thru the space now..the windows with light and nice access to the outside. those are all positives. With children at those ages I would comb through Criags list and get a used

indoor/outdoor rattan set . the fabric can be useful with wiping/ spotting up any spills. these are pretty comfortable now and it would fit in with the feel of that end of the space. You can get rattan bakers racks too.
