Imagine your wood stove on axis with the kitchen island, flanked on each side by a wide-ish opening to the dining room which will borrow daylight and bring good energy to the space

Sort of a mirror image of your space--Imagine a wall of built-ins on axis with your kitchen island as a focal point across the space, flanked by wider openings on each side to the dining area, piano to the right on the interior wall, windows to the left on the exterior wall

Another mirror image of your space--wood stove on axis with kitchen island, flanked by openings on 2 sides to the dining room for borrowed light, AND built-ins on either side of openings to hte corners (I think your wall length can handle this) piano to the right, up-high windows to the left
Q

Piano wall can be surrounded by simple photos
Q

From the kitchen island, the wall on the opposite side of your dining room has the potential to be a focal point--give it formality by flanking the sides with openings and to the dining room
Q

From the dining room, a double-width pocket door on axis with front windows can make a fabulous table space and bring much needed light into the den. A great opportunity four built-ins on either side of the pocket door in the den
Q
Photo
Beautiful axial relationship between front windows, dining table, double-width doors, and your kitchen island behond
Q
Photo
pocket doors come in all styles
Q
Photo
From the den, you can have built-ins on either side of the double-width pocket doors. . . deep enough base cabinets for record player on top, cabinets to match kitchen refrigerator wall. . . creating ":book ends" on either side of your fabulous kitchen space
Q
Photo
Interesting use of built-ins as a back drop, more contemporary. Not a recommendation, just interesting
Q
Photo
imaging this pocket door wider and on axis with your front windows and dining table, windows on the exterior wall, piano on the interior wall opposite Logan's bedroom
Q
Photo
pocket door with built-ins on either side are a great "thick wall" design opportuntiy which can also help transition varying wood floor heights
Q
Photo
imagining that you might want built ins under windows where the fireplace used to sit
Q
Photo
Purely looking at form, not necessarily style. However, you can do all kinds of styles with pocket doors. same notes as before apply here
Q
Photo
A great shot demonstrating a long axial relationship from a kitchen island across to a fireplace that is flanked by openings and/or built ins as space allows. . . a formality that a craftsman home would have
Q

windows plus wood stove
Q

thinking about your record player and dispay shelves
Q

Don't be mad at me. . .what if your "wood stove" was a pizza oven centered on the wall opposite the dining room?

Q

you could do somewhat taller built-ins under new windows in the den. They wouldn't have to be that deep. . .just 12" or so
Q
Photo
again, built-ins under smaller windows with higher sills
Q
Photo
smaller windows above taller built in book cases is a very craftsman touch

this setup for a built-ins around a piano seems fine
Q

considering "thick wall" applications for built-ins in a perpendicular transisiton between spaces that can help with floor height transitioning.

Also an acceptable built-in arrangement at an upright piano
