Thank you everyone for your thoughts!
My main concern about Design 2 would be the limited counter space around the range, only 12 inches of uninterrupted space to the left before the corner and 18 inches to the right
@herbflavor @rebunky Yes the window wasn't in the friendliest of spots lol. The two doors are actually openings, maybe I can change that in the render, they lead to the sunroom and the basement so it'll definitely be pretty busy I agree. The wall on the right has an opening to the hallway, I'll add an image below.
@rebunky Noted about the DW, I'll switch it up!
@artemis78 Glad to hear! we'll probably use the space next to the window as a small dining space
