Youll need to hire a plumber and an electrician if you’re going to move these things. They’ll make sure you address things like GFCI outlets, circuit loads and plumbing vents.

Wood composite and laminate floors are usually not rated for kitchen use, for a reason - they get wet too much in the cleaning processes. Research the flooring options with that in mind.
Ventilation: the cook top must have a vapor vent. Ideally you want to vent it outside, so that the grease laden valors don’t cling to your cabinets and walls over time.
Renovate, remodel, refurbish, redecorate, refresh or update? While all these can diy terms, their meanings vary considerably according to the size of the project, degree of difficulty and skill needed, and cost factor.
