I think I would switch the fridge to the right.
The larger spacer necessary for the door swing does waste precious inches needed in a smaller size kitchen.
Plus, it looks like the fridge might protrude out further then the window trim? It would bug me if the tall spacer would actually butt against the window trim instead of the wall. Maybe It won’t, but it just looks that way in the photo?
Not a huge issue, but it would also be slightly more convenient for getting snacks and drinks from the family room. People like the path of least resistance and crossing through the work isle instead of going around the island would probably annoy me as I was prepping/cooking. It seems like the distance to the dining table would not really matter since it is pretty much the same from either side.
If you did the pantry on the left, could you do something like your inspiration photo?
Could the pantry be a few inches shallower then the rest of the cabinetry (not sure if needed) so that it and the narrow spacer needed next to it avoids butting into the window trim? The countertop would step back also and run over to the wall. The top section would have the doors on top of the countertop. Inside, you could divided the counter area in half, with a plug on the wall side for a coffee maker and other small appliances. There would still be space for organizing pantry food items on shelves on the right hand section as well as the section underneath the counter.
Yes to spacing the sconces equally from the hood. As mcarroll mentioned, maybe do those kind that have the bent arm that extends out further to light the counter better. Something where it goes passed the shelf.
Actually looking again at your tape marks, I don’t like the right sconce right at the top corner of the window. Maybe go lower, and in between the hood and window. Then the other one equal distance on the other side of the hood. What about having a third sconce on that left side as well, centered between the other sconce and the pantry?
