What's the length of this wall in the breakfast nook?

That wall is 87 inches, 4 of which is trim.

OP, you should delete your address from the house plan drawing, especially if you're using your real name.

It looks as if you're closing the window to the right of the breakfast nook. I'd also make the window on the top wall shorter, to allow for a clean-up zone on that wall. These plans have the traffic from the garage passing through the work zones, but with the position of the garage entry, and the relative narrowness of the kitchen, they are the only ideas I have. Plan 'B' has a few variations on Plan 'A'--any or all could be used in the basic layout.

Plan 'B' gives you more space in the secondary prep zone, but dishes are also kept in that area (and above the DW), and the sink is off center to the window. Only one trash receptacle is necessary in that plan, shared by all zones, and the fridge is a little less prominent to the great room entry. The pantry inside the door from the garage could be side loading, which would make it the shallow pantry. The pull-out pantry beside the fridge could then be a wider, full-depth pantry. Or, you could have a separate wall oven where the pantry is drawn, and the coffee/snack station could revert to a shallow pantry. A less expensive solution would be to keep the existing closet, and put the fridge where the range is now, with counter space beside it.

In both plans, a helper can load or unload the DW, or gather dishes, without interfering in prep and cooking tasks. MW is convenient to the fridge and snacks.

I drew a chimney hood, 6" (or more) wider than the range, with no uppers on that wall.

Thank you so much! I am working with Houzz to try to delete the post, I'm not sure how to do it myself. Mama goose, ideally, I would like to keep the back wall, because my plan is to put french doors there that go out to a deck. Do you think it would be possible to move all the appliances and sink to one side of the kitchen?

40K and taking down walls do not mix unless you yourself are a contractor and can do all of the work. That is a lower budget for a like for like simple replacement project. If you want to do something more mid to high range, like Houzz pics, or take down walls, you will need to increase your budget, or bring significant DIY to the table. 40K won't be sufficient for a cabinet budget for a higher end redo.

Your budget is fine if you're thinking something like Ikea cabinets and I would think Ikea.

Do you need the dining room and a dining nook? Or just one and if so, would you be amenable to flipping the kitchen and dining room?

Not taking down any wall completely just opening the entrance to the kitchen to about 9ft and leaving the same foot print moving the washer & dryer to my master bathroom to free up space and add some crucial counter tops and storage - No I don't think flipping the kitchen and dining room would be within my budget and because of the all brick house don't know if IKEA cabinets would be the best quality but I'm not knowledgeable enough on cabinet qualities

There's that ''just'' word, that usually means someone is vastly underestimating the job to be done. What you may not realize is that just means doing 90% of the work and engineering support that taking the whole wall down entails. Including patching or replacing all the floors.

Construction costs have a lot to do with your location....large, metroplitan areas and east/west coast locations will eat into that $40,000 quickly. In my part of the Upper Mid-west, your budget would work if you did not choose high price-point cabinets.

I like this look and after thinking about it I know my sister did her kitchen and bathroom with IKEA cabinets so I will further research, I'm in the south and have looked at the average budget for kitchen rehab - I believe my husband and his crew can handle the majority of the work with the exception of getting a structural engineer about opening the wall since we're in the contractor business we have relationships with everyone in the business and I would love to come in under budget cause I'd like to add a deck and screened in porch

Then hire a designer to help with the layout and to clue you into what you don't know that you don't know. Someone with construction contacts should have one or two that they worked with before.
