windows + range hoods

did you notice that on the floor plan of my new house, there are windows on either side of the hood/range in the kitchen? it is one of the features that i am really excited about. that back wall is going to be an important feature in the house because it is open to the great room, dining room and entry.

here are some fabulous inspiration pictures o found of windows on either side of a range and hood:
love the copper hood here. the ceiling in this kitchen are at least 11', while ours will only be 9'. the transoms above the windows are a nice touch too...

mmmm. LOVE this one. the straight sided hood and arch detail are perfect. i would put some art on the hood if it were in my house....
simple and pretty. my windows will be wider than these, but i like the simple feeling
of this set up.

this is about the height that my ceilings will be. i really like the x detail on the cabinet fronts.


so classic and simple.

this is a pretty small kitchen....well, small for a "magazine worthy" kitchen. the wood counters really add some warmth to the white cabinets and white marble.

do you notice a pattern here? doesn't it seem like all of these kitchens are white??
