I have had Wolf E series (single) ovens for about 8 months now. They are fabulous! The evenness of baking and roasting is beyond compare. Everything comes out perfectly cooked, moist inside, and perfect outside. Rich all butter cakes have the most evenly browned, thin crust all around. Never saw such perfect broiling before. Roasts are beautifully browned outside, perfectly cooked inside. And don't get me started on roasted potatoes, my husband's favorites! The other wonderful quality of the Wolf ovens is that they are quiet and don't heat up the room. In fact, I had to change my baking habits because they retain the heat so well after being turned off. I was used to turning off the oven, then leaving food in to stay warm. With the Wolf ovens, they retain the heat so well that I can turn them off early and still get a good baking/roasting for a while afterward. We had great ovens before that cooked extremely well (and I was sorry to part with them). I never would have believed that the Wolf ovens would be several orders of magnitude better.

Any benefit to having the refrigerator at the end of the short wall vs end of long wall? The advantages to having the fridge on the short wall are that it's closer to the entry, where groceries are brought in, and so more convenient for stowing perishables, and more convenient for anyone coming from the bedrooms and living areas. The island can be moved toward the table to make the short aisle a little wider--maybe a moot point since you are omitting seating on the back of the island, and the long aisle will be wider. OTOH, it's nice to have the fridge near the dining table, if you need milk, salad dressing, etc., during the meal, but having it on the end near the table means it will block the light from the sunroom slider. You have the windows on the end to help alleviate that problem, and you might consider making the window over the sink wider, but that's more $$$, and you lose upper cabinet space. Another advantage to having the fridge on the long wall is better functional line-up--fridge-->sink-->prep-->range. DW and sink can also stay on the same wall, without DW being in the prep space. ... would I just add 6" filler panel between the range and sink to meet the 36" recommended distance? Did you mean range and DW? You could add a 6" or 12" slot for large cutting boards and/or baking sheets--I keep both in the same 12" filler cabinet that was plugged in between the end of a cabinet run and the wall. It's beside my baking counter, so a perfect location in my kitchen. If you're moving the DW, you have the option to use a 36" drawer base, great for pots and pans, convenient to the range, although usually in that case, you'd want the trash pull-out in the prep space between the sink and range, rather than on the left side of the sink. With the DW on the short wall, you can't move the sink any closer to the corner, and still have space in front of the sink to load the DW, so I'd leave the trash on the left side. That presents another problem--you'll need a 2-3" return panel on the left side of the DW, to support the counter (plus the fridge panel, if you decide to enclose it), so there will be only 12-15" between the open DW door and the perpendicular counter, to stand and load dishes into the upper corner cabinets. You could keep dishes in drawers in the island, which puts them just behind your prep space, or maybe in drawers facing the fridge: In your kitchen my preference would be the one you said you liked, with the sink, DW, and fridge on the long wall, and if you put an 18" deep pantry cabinet on the end, then there would be more space for the table. Think about the way you cook, and access the kitchen--maybe that will help you decide.

I would paint it all, or paint the door only. With the single sidelight, I think you have a chance of things looking a little off-balance if you leave the trim white, but contrasting the door only could work. I'd have the transom match whatever you do with the sidelight, painted dark or light. I think it would be great to paint the inside of the door black as well, because it works with the interior of your home. If you were going with a bright color that you didn't want to see from the inside, only as an exterior color, that would be different. But leave the interior trim, sidelight, transom white.
