how to solve this. If I put back the 24 inches of wall, it will mess
up my kitchen island plan. I need an answer fast. Please paste the

I think it looks fine. I think it is a good transition from a
kitchen to another room, and kind of opens the kitchen up. A lot of
times, "mistakes" are hidden inspiration. I wouldn't bother doing
anything to it. If you really want to, though, you could extend the
kitchen ceiling 24 inches to the end of the wall in the next room.

Most of all, I would leave it for now. You might get compliments on
it. Adding that 24 inches to the kitchen ceiling could be done at a
later time without too much disruption. In the meantime, you might
find that you like it the way it is. If you are worried about it
screaming "mistake", don't tell anyone, and see if people look and say
"Look, a mistake"; they will more likely say "That's an intersting
transition", although it is most likely they will say nothing at all.
Remember that just because it wasn't anticipated doesn't mean it won't
work out.
