There is a bathroom upstairs too, worth mentioning. As I said earlier, it feels wrong to use the nice high ceiling traditional part of building for something like a toilet if we don't have to.
If it were me, I'd have the patio doors opposite where you have the table set up in the new configuration, simply to have more counter space in the kitchen. Means your only knocking through once too.
