I thought the OP might come back with a cleaned up photo of the area, but maybe not. Anyway, at the photo site I found a clean photo from another angle. Here the wall and strip in question is barely seen on the left. I think I would choose to do a frame there with a background of dark gray and raised panels of a lighter gray. Not shown, I might also add 4" horizontal timbers 16" long sticking out at the top between the panels. A vine could be intertwined along the top. My main focus would be the water discharge into the pond. Here I would remove many of the stones from the right side and back to create a dark recessed area with slightly overhanging stone ledge at the top back. To frame the new focal point I would use a small weeping or pendent tree to left and use a few plants with contrasting and distinctive foliage to the right.

It's gigantic. I'd be trying like hell to avoid that. I'd use the dining table in the dining room for a combo desk /office. I'd buy more flexibility.......comfortable flexibility. A tv can mount flat to the wall, With an IR repaeater, it needs no console beneath. The cable box can go anywhere. I'd get a nice deep and comfy 84 inch sofa, put a console with lamps behind. Add two super comfy chairs and ottomans. A nice generous, light and open cocktail table. Lie down! watch the tube! Put your feet up! Add a little ottoman for a perch at the cocktail table. People love to sit and reach a snack. Add a low table between the chairs at the fire......open and light. Ten x 14 rug to ground everything. ( dotted line ) Go set yourself up in the dining room, to work, and just clean up when you have guests !! No matter the sprawl, no more than three folks will ever sit on that beast of a sectional : ) Two chairs and a total of three ottoman plus at least two on a sofa............for gatherings gives you seven seats. A smashing piece of art over the fire too.

OK, here is the latest update. My wife and I discussed this at length tonight. Our plans are still definitely open, but we are converging toward the following: We plan to reduce the size of the island, both the length and the width. We will reduce the length by 11" or 12" vs the plans, and the width by about 4" (still discussing both). So, in the plans, this means that the center drawer unit facing the sink is reduced from 30" to about 19 (plus a bit smaller because it is inset). On the bottom side: currently on the bottom right is an open shelf facing to the right. We'd keep that, and mirror it on the left, but put a door on the front, for some shallow (but still useful) storage shelves facing the refrigerator. Between those, in place of the seating (which we would eliminate), we'll have about 47" of space to work with. We'll divide those evenly between two separate cabinet units, each with a drawer on top, and a cabinet with roll-out tray(s) below. The width reduction will come all from the "bottom" side of the island; that means that all of the cabinets discussed above will be 20" deep instead of 24, and the open shelves to the right and closed cabinet to the left will be similarly reduced. All of this means that instead of 77" between the island and the windows to the right, we will have 85". So with a fixed dining bench (with back) against the wall, we will have the option of positioning a 30" wide trestle table, leaving 37" between the table and the island. (That isn't necessarily what we will do, but now we will have the option). And between the island and the brick wall, we will have 56" (rather than 52) meaning that we can put a 14" wide console (vs 10") if we want to have 42" for walking on that side. And for herbflavor: a picture of my game collection, and one of the brick wall we are so insistent on exposing more of.
