Floor plan of the house with, or at least surround and attached rooms, with all dimension, windows, doorways, etc drawn in. Budget? What can be changed and what cannot? Plumbing ok to move,? Slab or foundation?

Have you considered creating a "window" in the wall rather than opening up the entire wall.

On graph paper, draw, to scale, the size and shape of the two rooms showing all windows and doors in each room. for the kitchen, show the positions of the sink and all appliances. Post that along with pictures of both the kitchen side and living room side of the wall between the two rooms.

Also, do you know if the wall is a load bearing wall -- that matters, so if you don't know, find out.

I need a floor plan but right now I am thinking the wall where the stools are is loadbearing hence the reason for just the opening. So you need an engineer to tell you how to remove that ans supprt the floor and roof above. All the other info millworkman asked for.

I would close in the doorway to the kitchen from the front door, make that a true entryway. We did this in 2 homes so far with kitchens at the front of the house. My current home had glass block which we knocked down and replaced with an actual wall. My last house had what you have and we closed it in, took out another part of the wall to open it up within the kitchen and added an island. Let me find pictures...

This is from our prior home's reno several years ago.

Before (entering from front door)

After (closed in kitchen entrance right near front door)

Took down angled wall inside kitchen and filled in doorway with drywall.

Before and after

I think closing off the entry to the kitchen makes sense.
