Hire a Kitchen Designer. https://www.remodeling.hw.net/cost-vs-value/2019/

Welcome to the Kitchens Forum, Taryn!

We'd like to help, but we need more information.

(1) Please provide a fully-measured layout of the spaces you are remodeling. Fully-measured means a layout with the labels for each window/wall/door/doorway and the distances between each window/wall/door/doorway (include trim in the door/doorway/window measurements, if applicable). In your case, the existing Kitchen and the area you are extending the Kitchen into. [See a sample below]

(2) A sketch of the entire floor so we can see how the space relates to the rest of your home and how traffic flows in, around, and through the space.

(3)Tell us where you are/are not flexible. If something cannot be moved/changed, tell us why.

(4) Information about you and your family (adults, children), how you plan to use your Kitchen, etc. [Note: You will need this and more if/when you work with a Kitchen Designer, so gather it now to be used both here and with your KD. (If your KD does not ask for this information, I recommend finding another KD).]

See the Layout Help FAQ for more information:
