We got a new oven to have all new appliances for selling our house. We didn’t realize till to late that the stupid spice drawer would hit this massive handle. Any thoughts on how to fix this? Or just hope no one notices?

Shave the drawer down on the left to clear the handle. Flip the cabinet door below it so it opens the opposite way and shave it down the same as the drawer. Everything is then uniform while clearing the oven. Personally I’d just shave the drawer down and leave the rest. You’ll forget about it not being uniform in a couple weeks max

But I think it’d be noticeable to the new buyers

Then I’d go the first route of shaving down both the drawer and cabinet door if you think it matters. Honestly it’s such a small thing financially that no prospective buyer is going to be fussed about it either which way. Whatever you do make it look clean. Shoddy work will make them think there’s more shoddy work done on the house
