Cabinet sizes that will fit on my short walls.

I love the Stat white cabinets. I really like the look in one of the kitchen photos online that has two glass cabinets stacked on the countertop. However, my kitchen wall is only 7'9", so 2 30" are too tall. I only have about 15"-18" max of width where I would like to put these. Any suggestions about options I could try? Would hanging a 39" cabinet low so that it is flush with the tops of normal hung 30" cabinets look weird? Can I go extreme and try to "steal" a drawer from another type of cabinet to put underneath?

This is the look I am going for. Sorry it's such a small photo.

Orlando Ikea has that look on display.

A 15" high above-the-fridge or fan cabinet might be useful--maybe fitting over the 39" glass-front cab? Someone must have done that already.

Re: Cabinet sizes that will fit on my short walls.

I would use the 18x39" wall cabinet on top of a modified 18x15" cabinet (solid door) - this can be made from a 30x15" fan cabinet (as per Daves suggestion)...total height 90" plus a base for the cabinets to raise them off the countertop.
