"Regularly occupied" space is counted for this credit. I would probably exclude the refrigerator and cabinets since a person won't be occupying those areas, but a table is a space that someone might be sitting or working at—it would make sense to include that in the calculations, no?

I agree with Tristan that you may exclude those area. However, you may look at other credits that use regularly occupied spaces number and ensure that those are consistent. For the table and counter top, you must include those. Those locations are actually the task areas that are expected to have sufficient illuminance from daylight.
