OMG, don't do it. If you want something low to the ground and comfy to just plop down on, but don't want to spend a lot of money...Build Something!

Demo the pony wall, and extend the Existing Kitchen Wall on the right side of the picture 3'-2" into the Dining Room. This will give you enough room to have a small butler's pantry in the Dining Room where you can store dry goods and dishes.

Perpendicular to the face of the New Wall, build a 51"(l) x 24"(d) Island/Bar with two levels, one at bar height (Dining Room Side) with 9" counter depth and one at counter height (Kitchen Side) with 15" counter depth. This will serve as a divider between the Dining Room and Kitchen (2 Small Bar Stools can fit on the Dining Room side for additional seating and conversation area). Build open shelves under the New Counter on the Kitchen side, and place a Freestanding Range against the wall closest to the Island so as to not interrupt space for Side by Side Refrigerator door function (not to exceed 31" wide).

Use Floating Shelves above sink and mirror the back to expand the space and reflect light from the Dining Room. Build or buy a 5'-0" x 3'-0" Dining Table and place a picnic bench on each of the longest sides so you can push them under the table when not in use. Place a chair at each end of the table. This will give you seating for 6 without taking up too much room.

You should create an email just for your Tiny Kitchen so people can send drawings!

Good Luck!
