KMS Woodworks on Jul 27, 2012Are you planning to replace the counter any time soon?...If it were my place I would design in a slightly bigger counter and put a couple of corbels in there to support that over hang....If the top is staying for some time I would try to angle the corner a bit. drywall and paint...would minimize the funky look.Helpful Reply

Traci W on Jul 27, 2012Prob won't do a complete kitchen remodel for five years or so. The over hang is secure. I'm thinking angling with drywall as well.Helpful Reply

Jeanette S on Jul 28, 2012Wow! You can do something funky if you are confident you will redo it in 5 years, but keep in mind that life does not always go according to plans and you could box yourselves into a corner! I would want to support that top with corbels. The job needs to be completed properly even if it means taking out that support post and moving it back the 2 or so inches needed. You may have to repair flooring...a few decorative tiles at the bottom will be a lot less noticable. Perhaps take up the flooring all the way around the end of the cabinet and put in a border of insets. I posted a phot o of where we put in threshold between real oak and laminate in our kitchen. Worked beautifully! There are all kinds of stunning decorative materials...many more than when I was looking! Good luck!Helpful Reply

Ellen H on Jul 28, 2012How about covering (wrapping) the entire end of the wall from floor to top of counter with trim, then mitering the corners and turning a piece toward the counter to fill in the gap. What I am thinking is something that would look almost like a post at the end of the wall under the counter - it could look like it was intentional to support the countertop instead of something you are trying to cover up. I'm not describing it very well but maybe if you just think of a floor to counter post, you can imagine something like what I'm imagining. No real posts involved, just flat trim.Helpful Reply
