    You could bring the livingroom ceiling down to the kitchen level or you can install a piece of 5/4" wood over the area where you removed the wall plate.

    5/4 will measure about an inch thick. You can cut a 45 degree bevel on the edge towards the livingroom side so you won't have a square edge.
