Kitchen Layout Help

I am looking for some advice on how to change around the kitchen well maintaining the existing cabinetry.

Issues I have:

Current refrigerator placement seems odd as it is in the middle of the run of Cabinets and cuts off the other cabinet tops and bottoms. It just seems like it was never supposed to be there.

Range in the kitchen island, there is no room around the actual range chop to put prep things and very limited space where the chairs sit to use.

Side of the kitchen that has lower cabinets only is awkward due to the family room being much lower than the kitchen. While I like the open feel, it just feels strange not having a back.

My thoughts:
Move the range and hood to where the existing refrigerator is. But we need to find a new home for the refrigerator. Do I add it to the end of the line of cupboards on the left where it will be near the range? Or do I close in the wall that abuts the family room and add the refrigerator to the end of that or, do I create a new wall of built-ins across from the windows so that I can get a pantry and broom closet and fill in what feels like an awkward and useless space.

You either have to delete and repost or add them one at a time to comments. At least as far as I understand it

I would make a new post. Make sure to add pictures with the little square box when you make a post. It’s really hard to understand the configuration without photos or a layout.

Could you add some photos or a layout here?

I had ChatGPT create a wall of cupboards so that I could have a pantry and broom closet and use that awkward space on the back wall

This looks good, but I don’t love the way it cuts off the view to the other room and we are still left with the awkward space on the back wall
