Any good way to make this space slightly taller?

We are moving into a new house and looking to buy a counter depth refrigerator. The space here is 69.5” high, which really limits our options for regularly sized models based on the fridge height with hinges. If we pull the fridge out beyond the hinges it’ll come too far into the kitchen, as there’s an island fairly close to the fridge space. If we could just get another 0.25-0.5” here, it would open a much larger range of options, but I don’t know how I’d go about doing that aside from sanding the underside of this cabinet like crazy. It’s a 2” section above the fridge space, as shown. Any thoughts? submitted by /u/Grifty_Capital695 [link] [comments]
