Taking out wall, how to transition?
This will be a low budget project. Still in the thinking phase.
My kitchen and dining room are currently divided by a non load bearing wall. I'd like to update the area and repurpose the dining room to a casual living area.
The kitchen and dining room are what you see when you walk up the split foyer steps and I don't especially want to look right into the kitchen stove, but do want to keep the modern open idea.
I'm stuck on how to transition from the kitchen stove to the dining room area. I need some counter space on the right side of the stove (will be moving it to the left a bit) and I would like some storage.
A small peninsula with glass cabinets above?
A small pass thru with a column of shelves?
Cabinets on either side of the sliding door?
Any thoughts would be appreciated!

How about for now just removing the walls and cover the top/bottom of wall space moudling and rearrange your furniture as you have in mind. (Leave only enough wall to cover the stove area). Then, you can play around with furniture placement.
I did plan on new flooring, old vinyl is cracking (not low budget, I know) new counter height table and chairs and painting the cabinets, so maybe not so low budget after all. Guess I need ideas on how to transition and figure out the best idea for the money spent.
I'm planning to replace the wall cabinet to the left of the stove because it is really too large. 4 feet! and replace the base cabinet next to the stove with drawers for pots.
The opposite wall is empty, where I plan to replace my table with a counter height table as a peninsula and maybe a piece of furniture to hold a tv to swivel into the dining room.
At least those are my thoughts. I'm open to another arrangement, but my hubby wants a table, not an island or peninsula. Hard enough sell on counter height : ).
