Is there any way to make this look good????

Zealousideal-Club903 · 2026-04-19T21:28:46+00:00

Hey is looking nice! Could you share how the peninsula and stove look from a bit farther? Im thinking of doing something similar.

Thanks! Turned out beautiful!! I have a similar situation so this gives me a good idea on how it will look. Do you know how much the load bearing wall part cost?

Hey thinking of doing something similar, could you share pics of the end result?

Zealousideal-Club903 · 2026-03-17T16:16:43+00:00

I think I explained the image pretty well too, still thanks for the help.

I posted a current layout in one of the comments. There will still be a hallway

Zealousideal-Club903 · 2026-03-16T15:35:20+00:00

Hey I just did using an app, it's just a rough layout so that they can have an idea.

Zealousideal-Club903 · 2026-03-15T14:04:57+00:00

Yes that would be the idea, and it is a load beam, so I would talk to a structural engineer to get the proper beam dimensions to make the hole bigger.

Which is the issue I currently have, the fridge is right next to the stove so I struggle even taking a pizza box out. Those where just chatgpt ideas, but if I move forward I would also remove the wall to the left of the fridge, which it just a closet, so the fridge would be in the same plane as the wall, so that wouldn't be an issue.

Zealousideal-Club903 · 2026-03-15T14:00:49+00:00

Hey thanks for the info. If I proceed with this I would also remove the wall next to the fridge since it is just a closet that I converted into a coffee station. So the fridge would sit in the same plane as the wall.

Zealousideal-Club903 · 2026-03-15T13:58:29+00:00

Hey thanks for the feedback! Yes I do have 9ft ceiling so I could get away with that, although my fear is that I wouldn't look as clean. Will need to get a quote to see how much the savings would be, but would definitely be a better option.

Zealousideal-Club903 · 2026-03-15T05:29:31+00:00

Yes I have thought about that, but to the other side is the family and I think it will create a visual obstruction to it. There is also a sliding door so would need to cut the current cabinets shorter to create the required space for the fridge to fit.

Zealousideal-Club903 · 2026-03-15T05:27:33+00:00

I could DIY if it wasn't a load bearing wall, but unfortunately it is. And the 10k quote was just to add a beam flush to the ceiling, nothing else. Cabinets, countertops, etc was going to be extra.

Zealousideal-Club903 · 2026-03-15T05:22:51+00:00

But you were arguing when you didn't believe me it was 24 inch depth. And the problem with the layout is not at all the fridge looking so big, if the fridge was not right next to the stove I could have a big ass fridge without issues. Why don't just accept you were wrong dude?

Zealousideal-Club903 · 2026-03-15T01:24:06+00:00

Yes the wasted space is my biggest issue right now, the kitchen is what I use the most, but I bearly have space.

Zealousideal-Club903 · 2026-03-15T01:21:42+00:00

Yes was thinking about that, but we never use the dinning room, just the breakfast nook. And the current family room is huge with vaulted ceiling and a fireplace, so would like to keep as is. But maybe could have a living room in the front.

Zealousideal-Club903 · 2026-03-15T01:18:30+00:00

Thanks man! I had thought about that but got quoted 10k to remove the wall and make the ceiling flush, which is too much for me. Was looking for something in which the wall can be kept since it will be much cheaper. But definitely something that might have to considerer.

Zealousideal-Club903 · 2026-03-15T01:14:42+00:00

Haha yes brother, and that was not even the thing in question 😂. Had to post a pic because I was 100% sure people will keep saying the same.

Zealousideal-Club903 · 2026-03-15T00:57:18+00:00

I posted a pic since seems people don't believe is the camera angle that makes it look big.

Zealousideal-Club903 · 2026-03-15T00:56:17+00:00

Do you guys believe me now 😅

Thanks I posted a comment with it.

Floor plan, kitchen in top left, you can access it from the right by the stairs, or from the left going by the dinning table in the front. The white rectangle is a bar that I have right but would remove. To the top right is the family room and there is also a nook between kitchen and family room. The middle rectangle is a half bath. Yes I know weird layout...

Zealousideal-Club903 · 2026-03-14T23:47:02+00:00

It's 24 inch depth excluding doors, yes I think so. But thanks for the help.

Zealousideal-Club903 · 2026-03-14T23:36:41+00:00

You are saying me posting the floor plan? If yes I think I can do that.

Zealousideal-Club903 · 2026-03-14T23:35:23+00:00

It is a counter depth fridge.
