Shannon Ggem ASID- Ggem Design Co LLC If the cabinetry match is going to be off, perhaps look into doing them to match the white doors. That way it has some context on that wall, between those doors. Good luck!

vlemon It seems a bit dark up there, if you don't need to put a cabinet back up there, consider puting an unusual/sculptural light fixture up there. Or a shelf to display a piece of artwork that ties into your colors & you could uplight it.

jagwyre I have an electrician coming this week to install another can light in front of the fridge. I also thought he could wire on top of the fridge so if I put a shelf there I could put a light down on it. It is very dark there.

R J Hoppe Inc A qualified professional cabinetmaker should be able to match your existing cabinets, in style materials and finish. 100% no, 90% yes! There should not be an issue with matching old and new other then price. If it were my kitchen that cabinet would hold the Thanksgiving Day turkey platter, the items you use once in a blue moon. If you need a step stool to get to them so be it. However if the cabinet does get custom made then there are some very interesting sliding rack systems that you might consider using.

tinksama I would shorten that cubby. Either make the height match the cabinet height with a drywall soffit, or drywall all the way to the top of the fridge and hang art, a large clock, etc.

The Staging Fashionista I think it is a great space to add one of those built in wine storage racks that is if you drink wine or if you need more storage make it a cabinet space for storing seasonal items/dishes. Good luck!

Lucky's Charmed Home Staging & Organization, Inc have you thought about maybe a colorful vase or decorative-only candle holder? It would certainly add some color

Barbara Griffith Designs If you don't need storage, I would install a drywall piece, in other words make it wall like. Add a nice piece of art or large round clock.

chapina54 What about a wine rack?

onthefence I completely agree with RJ Hoppe - a good cabinet maker will be able to match those. Especially given that you don't need to match stain and color since you're painting. I also think that would be an amazing storage space for those big bulky items you get out once a year. Also consider that you don't have to store kitchen stuff up there. If you are storage challenged elsewhere in the house, that's a great little cubby. Even if you buy bulk papergoods at a warehouse store, it could be good storage for the extra 20 rolls of paper towels or half the ginormous pkg of TP.

Since you already like wine enough to invest in a wine fridge, I know you won't put a wine rack there ;-)

feeny If a matching cabinet (first choice) turns out to be impossible, then I'd put in open shelving in the same material as your cabinets.

jagwyre I'm going to have a carpenter look at to see if he can match. Hopefully it won't cost an arm and a leg!

Activated Decor Inc. Add something different to it. Add some words or whatever inspires you. Not always do you need to have a cabinet there or lights or plants. Make a statement without making it bland or over done.

Tracy Nichols - Kitchen Solvers Cabinetry would be the best look. If you go this route see if they can trim down the sides to create a built-in look. A good cabinet shop should be able to match the stain and give you advice on how it will age with the rest of the kitchen. Some wood species will age (darken) faster than others. If that is too large of an investment suggest closing in the space with drywall to create a continuous look of the other two walls.
