Kitchen reno - need help maximizing space and function! (Help?!)

Hello GW!!

Just
purchased a new (to us) home that is in need of repair. We are tackling
the kitchen first. The drawing is my own and not perfectly scaled, but
gives a basic idea of the current layout and size. I'm also including
the listing photos since I feel like my drawing makes the room look big,
which it is not.

The bathroom in the upper left corner is oversized an
unnecessary shower, so we are going to reduce that room size by half(ish) -
turning it into a powder room and giving approx. 4 feet (orange) over to
the kitchen.

I'm really hoping to get some advice regarding how
to better lay
out the kitchen cabinets and appliances in order to maximize space.
There are few upper cabinets (shaded boxes) and I think I can pack a lot
more storage into the space if done thoughtfully. I am willing to lose
the window in the upper right if it means allowing me to have a
significant increase in cabinetry. Also, is it a possibility to have a
peninsula or island incorporated into the space without it being way too
cramped? Absolutely nothing currently there will remain, so we will
need to figure out appliance purchases as well, to which I would like to
add a wall oven and built in micro.

Best and many thanks,
Enza
