Photos would help or draw a floor plan. Not sure what a cat walk is. Chandelier might be making space seem smaller than it is. I don't think you'd be happy long term with sheer fabric to divide a space. Again, need photo or drawing.

I call it a catwalk, some call it a bridge. It basically is a means to get from one bedroom to the other on the second floor. You are able to look down into the living area from both sides of the catwalk/bridge

Keep the chandelier, it is large and pretty and makes a nice statement. I never heard the term, "catwalk", I know exactly what you mean, we even had one in a former home. The catwalk raises your eyes up and gives height to the liv. rm. Don't hide the catwalk. See if you like the upstairs bedroom doors open or closed. Closed might look more tidy but opened might let streams of light on the catwalk and that might look nice from below. I don't think bringing the bar out will help, anything. The kitchen will still be small and you'll still be able to see the kitchen cabinets when you enter the front door. Small kitchens can be great: they encourage you to be neat and tidy! Since the kitchen is in view when you enter, always keep the cabinet doors closed. The kitchen's bar/counter is raised up a bit (a nice design feature) so a person entering the space will not be able to view a sometimes untidy kitchen counter or stove. Keep the refrigerator free from magnets etc., the kitchen's look should be sleek, functional and neat. The kitchen bar should be neat always (not a magnet for mail). You could place 3 backless bar stools under the bar area if you plan to eat at the bar, but stools have a messy appearance, unless they are placed 'just so". I do not use stools at the bar in my home, for that reason. A plant to the left of the bar by the wall would look nice. The atrium door is very pretty and is a focal point as you enter. Don't block that door with the round table. More photos might help. If the round table is pulled away from the door into the center of the dining room area and the living room sofa has it's back to the dining room table and is facing the wall, I think that might give you the visual separation you are seeking. Also the sofa could be arranged against the living room wall and 2 living room chairs could have their backs to the dining room area. Hold off on buying anything for the entry and hold off on dividing with sheer fabric panels. First, get the furnit

Moving the bar out isn't going to make the kitchen larger - it's just going to take up more floor space.

Fabric panels and bookcases to divide up the space will make it look ridiculous - this house is meant to be wide open, with just groups of furniture to define the spaces.

I think the chandelier is lovely, as it suits the volume of the space - tho if you wanted to, an oversized lantern type fixture could be nice as well.

thanks for your input, it is thought provoking. I am also trying to figure out what I can do for my front entryway. That has an arch and it seems to be missing some flair. I am going to change the light, but I am trying to figure out what to do with the area above the arch. Perhaps house numbers? The front of the house is almost always in the sun and everything is fading. The home is only 8 years old. (I just purchased it) I am submitting the photo.

Nice house. I'd leave the arch plain. The hanging light should be larger and slightly 4lower. The light style might be OK, though (cannot really see it). 2 large urns on each side of door would be ice, perhaps in a dark terra-cotta/brick, (paint similar to the shutters). If you need numbers, place on the bottom of door in the same type metal as the front door nob. Always try things out with a template first. Make numbers and place them to see where you like, same with urns (garbage cans with a brick color fabric over will give you a good idea.)
