If you want more cabinet space, here is how I built our corner cabinets. Pics are worth 1000 words.

Just a cabinet?  That's all you did this time?
 
I'm kidding!  Looks good, as always.  I like how you created the support on the ceiling with multiple pieces to conform to the curve.  Not sure I would support the floor from below with a few screws.  With the dynamic loading going down the road and a full cabinet I'd put supports in from below, even though they would be visible.  Maybe if you screwed & glued on all edges that is ok.

Tech, the supports you are talking about are there, they are inside the cabinet. The strip on the ceiling is in two pieces with a cut almost through every 3 to 4", it is easier to keep it in line.
Just because you can't see them dos not mean there not there.

There is that misconception that a shelf support has to be under the shelf, not so. You can make it invisible by putting it inside the cabinet.



The supports don't have to be 2 or 3" wide, for these small cabinets 3/4" to 1" is quite sufficient.

Looks really nice!
I'm considering a few mods, but not sure about the attachment to the wall.
With wood wall supports would I need to pre-drill thru the support and wall surface and then using the pre-drilled hole in the wall surface as a guide, make the hole larger to insert a plastic wall anchor? Any help is greatly appreciated!

This is the second cabinet in that location, I made the first one 10" deep so I wouldn't bump my head on it, as it turned out there was a lot of room left so I made the second one 14" deep and still have room to spare.
I don't use any anchors, predrill the holes in the supports so the screws go through freely and than fasten it to the wall. I use coarse thread dry wall screws (grabbers) but be careful you don't overturn them. You be surprised how well it holds.

Beautiful work, as always.

What is your stain mix?
