There are only two cabinets in the kitchen that open at eye level. We need more. My wife does not want to get on a step stool to reach each cabinet. We don’t NEED more counter space, but it would be nice. We are thinking of building into the breakfast nook, or some how pushing into the pantry/butler pantry area.

There is a ton of wasted space along that breakfast nook wall. Or just kill the breakfast nook. I don’t know thy you need it, a dining room, and seating at the island unless you have a huge family.
