Walls, Islands & Layout Changes, in practice
Opening the kitchen into the living space is the most requested change in Middle Tennessee homes of a certain age, and the wall in question is frequently load-bearing. That means a header, sometimes a point load carried to the foundation, and a permit. It is an excellent change and it is not a cosmetic one.
Island seating overhangs need support. Anything past about a foot of unsupported quartz or granite will crack under someone leaning on it, and the support belongs in the design rather than being added afterwards.
