Advise pls:Partial wall removal to expand small u-shaped kitchen
Open to other suggestions as well!
I’d like to basic footprint with appliances staying in same place .
The sink was an interesting choice by previous owner and it is huge with a drip station that has the counter cut to fit it … I am thinking about changing out the black/gray hardware for antique brass to warm up the stainless .
Anyways. I would like to drop the wall with the microwave down to this counter height, which would remove the cabinets and microwave and open it up . Is there a budget or cosmetic reason to take this wall down to current counter height and extending counter over it vs removing walll down to floor?How can I tell if this wall is load bearing? (Red lines are to mark wall wanting to rem0ve)
Would I have to get a whole new counter , or is there a way to extend the current one? Yes I want them the same level!
Please see pictures of current area, AI creation of what I am leaning towards and the floor map of the two rooms . Any advice is welcome.
Also- what to do about an oven vent ? I don’t want to drop anything from the ceiling? (aI put it over to the side lol)
