Our current kitchen it tight. We have a small peninsula directly across from the refrigerator that creates a chokehold and makes the "kitchen space" too small for 2 people to work in. We have both a dining room and large breakfast nook, and don't need both. Contemplating ways to extend the kitchen into the breakfast nook, but it has a bay window (which poses some problems. Not opposed to raising the windows, just can't figure out how to make make it aesthetically work or if you'd need to remove the bay window bump out. Anyone with ideas or who has done a similar renovation would be most appreciated! I've attached photos below. You can see we also have an opening into our "game room". Considering seeing the cost to take out this wall fully so it'd be completely open to the kitchen space. Functionally, the location of all the appliances work nicely. It's just not enough room/counter space for 2 people to work, let alone when we're hosting.
