There was a great split entry kitchen reveal posted here within the last year. Have you searched gardenweb for examples? In the meantime I'll try to remember the user's name. I think he did the whole thing himself. Anyone else remember?

Can you go to your Ikea planner, 2 dimensional view and if you're on a PC "search programs and files" in your home button for "snipping tool" and copy your floor plan directly from the planner?

At first glance, I think your dishwasher needs to move to the left of your sink, the range needs to move to that back wall where your blender is, and fridge needs to move to the other end of the wall (where the little cabinet to the left of the range is) and fill the wall between fridge and dining room with pantry cabinets and/or a high cabinet with a microwave shelf. If you want to open the wall a bit, you could just do fridge-narrow pantry-base cabinet on that kitchen/living room wall. sorry if that doesn't make a lick of sense. I'm happy to draw it out if you provide dimensions and door/window locatoins.

Thank you Benjesbridge, I did a quick search through the forums but i'll continue to look. I have added different 2D views from the ikea planner. Again, it is a rough draft so not everything is prefect on it yet. We have two different size windows which we are hoping to fix. I think the stove on the back wall would be too far from my main prep around on the breakfast bar?

We need the overhead view, with the graph paper like background and the room dimensions please.

The long wall (living room) is likely bearing. In some splits both those walls are, not common but check.

To remove both walls will require structural work. Might want to settle that and costs before going too far.
