It would be nice to have accurate measurements, especially for that stairway entry/landing area and just outside it. Until we know more accurately, I just offer a small riff on Lisa's great plan. A 33" fridge allows the Hoosier cabinet to be enjoyed from the dining room. I really like the idea of a door from the office. One can work in the office and keep an eye on items cooking If kids are in the future, the office can become a playroom and one can cook and keep an eye on the kids. A 12" deep pantry cab next to the DW with the one Lisa put across the aisle will be more than enough storage for everyday dishes and glasses. I would install a drawer in the middle of each for utensils. I think I'd do glass doors on top with solid on the bottom. About the two tall dish pantries, something like this for the drawer placement. And the pink represents where I would consider putting windows on the sides instead of a solid panel. You could do it just on the one side facing the kitchen. Or on both sides. If done on both sides, the light from the window on the stair landing would filter through contributing to keeping the kitchen light and airy. Not knowing what they intend to use the basement for, I've wondered about the wisdom of closing off that exterior door. It seems like there would be times when it would be so convenient to have it like if something big needs to be hauled to or from the basement. It gives a nice straight shot instead of having to somehow squeeze it around tight corners. And safety issues. Also, what if you're cooking and burn something? Even with a good hood, the more windows and doors you can open to eliminate the smoke, the better. I simply wouldn't want to lose the close exterior access point just so I could have a table and chairs right outside that door to enjoy my coffee on a summer morning, eat lunch or dinner, or sit outside with a book while waiting for dinner to be ready, whatever. Or what about when you want to BBQ? Nice to have outside access right next to the kitchen for that. I just like outside! And I don't see any reason to lose that access point. Also, if there is an emergency, like a fire or an intruder, the more you have outside access locations, the better. That's another reason why I would also like to see the pocket door for the office on that landing. No, I don't live in Paranoia Land but, rather, by the Scout motto. I think when you're remodeling it's good to consider these kinds of issues and plan for escape routes for worst case scenario situations if it can be done at reasonable cost and effort.

If you put the pantry entrance where the deep cupboards are it would flow better...I find that if the kids have a zone that is pantry/fridge/microwave then they are not getting underfoot in the really active areas. Then you could put either a piece of furniture or cupboards on the wall where the pantry door is presently. The location of the wall ovens seems a really long way from the pantry and fridge and impinging on the breakfast area....and are not the prettiest thing to look at coming into the kitchen. But if not there, then where? If you moved the pantry door, you might have room next to it for wall ovens and a small landing space and then the pantry door...but then the ovens are opening in the main traffic pattern....with 5 kids traipsing through, what could possibly go wrong? I would forego island sink, unless you really have your heart set on it...it’s really close to the sink across the aisle, and I really like having an unencumbered prep space on the island. I would also swap DW and trash area on that sink so That you have room to manouver when the DW door is open. Is the butler’s pantry function that of a bar? To service both the family room and dining room?

Great bones, hire a kitchen designer. : )

Well, I'm not a kitchen designer, but I think you're right about your island going in the wrong direction simply because it is a barrier between either of your sinks and the refrigerator. But I don't think you could actually just turn in 90 degrees without shortening the length drastically. What would be better to access the fridge in its current location would be a C shaped kitchen, the island being turned 90 degrees and becoming a peninsula attached to the end of the counter on the main sink side. Of course that would pretty much kill having that round table where it is. (A narrow rectangular table might fit better than the round one in the current situation.) What would be nice to see for you to get more help though is a drawing with the widths of the aisles between counters, fridge to counter, etc. People on Houzz like to see those. Also how far are you able to go to change things? It can get pretty costly rearranging a kitchen.
