There are a number of issues that I have addressed:
1) That really weird, tiny, hallway bathroom is gone. No reason to keep it
2) I want to open up the West wall to floor to ceiling windows, allowing a lot more natural light
3) I want to open up the entire area so it's one continuous room
4) I've moved the entrance to the master bedroom, so it's in the same hall as the other bedrooms
There are a few questions I have
1) Where should I place the cooktop, sink, and fridge? The entrance on the top left will go to more bedrooms and the pool room, so I don't want to crowd it too much because it will be mainly a walkway. But I want the placement to be convenient enough and out of the way.
2) Should I put base cabinets on the West wall to increase cabinet space, and only have shorter windows?
Anyone have any ideas? Or any big mistakes I'm making?
Thanks!

you know i gotta admit, as somebody who has done design build, the one thing i've never done is a good kitchen. most of the homes i've worked on just had very simple kitchens, often as more of an afterthought to the rest of the design.

We designed the short sitting area under window using cabinets, it will be a comfy sitting area and at the same time more storage space.
I have hosted a couple of pictures, linked below, one of the current kitchen, dining room, living room layout, and one of the potential layout.
