I agree with you on the fridge. One thing I wonder is does the wall need to stick out that far. We have a wall like it and I wish it was shorter. Enough so I didn't have to have the fridge pulled out as much and also because it is in an area that sees a lot of traffic going around the corner. Ours is load bearing though.

What beautiful windows! and I love the no uppers concept makes it so airy. I would actually make that diagonal wall corner a straight cabinet. The diagonal cabinets are such a cavern and it would go better with the clean lines of the rest of your kitchen. I think you'd want your trash as close to the sink as possible. I'd nix the cookie sheet 12" cabinet (more $) and just put those above the fridge. Then take the 12" and add to the dishes and utensils cabinets. I agree with your concerns and would move the fridge where the hutch is. Otherwise it's more in the way of the person who is at the stove. I like the microwave in the drawer. If you don't use it that much, you can put the one big drawer under it for all the tupperware (depends on hoe much of that you have). Speaking of paleo, there was another GW user who designer herself a paleo kitchen. Same general considerations of no pantry and lots of prep space. It was also beautiful.

Are you going to put a rolling cabinet under the butcher block table? To use as a possible island prep space?

I prefer the first as it puts the bath more accessible to where everyone will be recreating. We have an interior bath in our lower level guest room and it's not a problem. But if you have room for a window on that side, I would add one to the guest room as in a lower level, you can't have enough window exposure to make it feel more like an upstairs room. Is that closet wide enough to have room to hang stuff and walk in? It looks a little awkward in shape.
