You can get a better range of responses if you can first tell us what is the scope of the work you are looking to do? Are you looking to gut your entire kitchen and start over, move walls, deal with the flooring issues since it is throughout the first floor and might not be under your island?

It would also be super helpful to have measurements on the drawing. Check out the New to Kitchens thread to get an idea of what we need to be helpful.

+1 to a floor plan with measurements + scope/budget details.

Are you proposing to open up into the area behind the fridge? Have you looked into whether those walls are structural?

Can the laundry area be relocated?

Is the pantry a keeper as-is?

suggestions will vary depending on the budget and what you hope to achieve.

I am wondering if the cabinet walls dividing the spaces are load bearing. Beams to carry the load of removing them is $$ sometimes not worth the effort. Changing walls and placement affects the flooring too, so factor that in. Lots of potential, just need a clear vision.

Do you have an inspo photos of spaces you admire? It's helpful...

First is take out the island. You say there's little prep space, but even w/o the island you have much more prep space than many kitchens I've seen. The rest will depend on your answers to the other posters requests.

More info needed, but on the simple end of things, I did think to close off the doorway on the far wall of the kitchen and make it a U with no island (could leave top part of doorway above new counters open for connection to the LR, like the sink has). Possibly a small peninsula could be added by the stove, depending on surrounding spaces.

To get any help here you need to post a to scale plan of that whole area including kitchen every window , doorway where those lead and every measurment clearly marked posted here in jpeg format in a comment Use graph paper it makes the scaled drawing easier

You need to read the thread and answer important questions such as budget, willing to take down walls, etc.

ALL dimensions. sizes of the cabinets, sdistances between, island size, door ways, walls, every domension. This is in addiiton to all the questions and info requested already.

Do you use the breakfast room. If not, you could consider expanding your kitchen into it . I like that the kitchen would be adjacent to the hearth room.

Please label the load bearing walls in the kitchen-dining-great-room area.

If you are considering moving the kitchen to another area, an outside view would be good to have.

Is there a nice view from the dining room (back yard) or breakfast room (side yard) windows?

Based on your floor plan, you have plenty of potential and square footage to revamp the living areas to make it/your kitchen more functional.

The open questions for you are which walls are load bearing and what is your budget.

If the walls to be removed are load bearing (and require support beams to be installed), you are completely renovating the kitchen, need to replace flooring, drywall, paint plus permit/expert fees, this would be at least a $200k job in my high-cost area. More if custom cabinets and top of the line appliances are used.

Contact a local architect that has extensive kitchen design experience or local kitchen designer that will determine your needs and investigat the pertainant information that will effect the design/budget. Playing 20 questions over the internet is not very productive.

So much wasted space in thta plan really . You need to get an actual independant KD , sorry but most architects are really bad KDs You will of course need to find out which walls are loadbearing and I like to get a strucural engineer to do that job , not some contractor . . You have no answered any of our questions and when you are asked for every measurement that means every one not room size but actual wall sizes. Angles always should be avoided if possible unless outside walls are angled .
