Floor Plan Help, please :)

I thought that I had fixed my last problem, but I didn't so I have started a new thread. I'll attach some answers to a couple of questions from the old thread and link to my Kitchen Pics folder. I wish that I could make the pics bigger, but I cannot. If you have clearance or size questions I'll be happy to answer them! Thanks again in advance!

Issues: Thinking of making the island a one level island with 15" overhang for seating instead of an attached "table". Should I move the ovens to the fridge wall?

From old thread:

controlfreakecs, yes, we have a butler's pantry with sink and large food pantry behind the range wall.

The aisle between range and sink is 45", between fridge and sink is 48". The reason I thought about moving the ovens to the fridge wall is because of the exact thing you mentioned, only 18" to the right of the rangetop. Seems too small to me.

If I did move the ovens to that wall, where would I put my dishes? To the left of the range? In the area between the fridge and over the MW? I ask because if I moved the ovens then that would leave only 45" between fridge and ovens. Or do you think that should suffice

Pics now have clickable goodness. I'm sorry that they are not that big, I made them as large as I could.

I have 20" to the right of my cooktop - it's "okay" but certainly not ideal.

Just looking at the third to last picture, - yes, I would move the ovens, and yes, I would store dishes below that counter. It means turning around from the dishwasher but I have that now and had in in my previous home too and it isn't a big deal at all.

Thanks sjhockeyfan, good to hear real world experience. I think that the space will be easier to work in by doing that.

I can put my stand mixer on the rangetop wall and the Breville oven can go in the Butler's Pantry to be used as more of a breakfast-y space. I'll swap the DW and trash pullout on the island. I definitely want a TV to go in one of the left upper cabinets on the rangetop wall.

As for the island I have decided to just make the island a one-level with seating for 5. Currently the island is set up (from sink side to seating side) with 24" D cabs, then15" D cabs and a 24" wide "table". I'm just not sure it I want to have 15" deep cabinets behind the sink cabinets to make up the island. I did like the idea of the drawers on the sides of the island for coozies and misc. junk (batteries, light bulbs, measuring tapes, etc), but could I get away with 12" ones and then add 24" overhang where the current 30" overhang for the "table" is?
