I like plan 2 for several reasons. First, it's more open and a little unconventional. That appeals to me. For more practical reasons, I love the huge expanse of prep space and the bumped out stove. The separate cleanup area is very very workable for a 2 person kitchen, and again, I like that's it's open to the LR. In the second plan someone would barely have to enter the kitchen to access the frig yet it's convenient to the cook. Are you planning narrow pantry storage to the right of the frig in plan 2? Both plans would work but there's my view of why the 2nd one appeals to my tastes more. Best of luck!

I'd prefer #1 as I wouldn't want the range so far from the sink and main cooking area, and reality is how much of that other L shape are you really going to use in the far corner vs. #1 of pantry space which is nice for storage. For #1, don't forget to put in a trash can - you could probably keep recycling in the garage (we don't have one) but a trash can near the sink is really nice and its nice being hiden. Plus, I like the main sink by a window for tradition.
