Thanks everyone!!!
@Nickety- So far we havent experienced any issues with having the cook top so close to the seats. I might become a little more paranoid once we have kids, but for now especially- I don't think ive even come close to splashing something on someone!

And yes, we have to keep that wall that the brick is on, because it is load-bearing. Hope that helps explain the reasoning on why there is that separation. We got a lot of the furniture in the room from Modern Manor here in Phoenix!

Thank you all for the feedback! The stools and miners cart (the low coffee table) are from a local store called Modern Manor, here in Phoenix. And thank you about the brick! It is real brick, just thin pieces, and we love it! It adds a lot of warmth and texture to the space. As for the spacing issues, there wasn't much we could do about it. The brick wall is the old 'outside' wall to our home, the pantry room is an old addition, so we weren't able to take down that archway of a wall. I knew I really wanted to have two ovens, so we have one in the island, and then the micro/oven unit in the pantry. It isn't absolutely ideal from a design standpoint, but it actually is amazing. Now when I need to use the oven in the summer (which in Phx is MISERABLE) I use that one instead of the island one. It doesn't make my kitchen a furnace! If you go here http://www.dreambookdesign.com/2011/03/some-updated-photos.html it shows you an old inside photo of the kitchen. The laundry room isn't finished yet, but once it is I will have photos up of it! The dimensions of the island are 4ft x 5ft. Hope that helps!

I have two grapefruit trees that NEVER stop producing! Did this trick today and it worked beautifully, and oh wow did it smell amazing! Thanks for the tip
