Background:The kitchen is an entirely new addition to the house. The "old kitchen" (I'll always call it that - haha) is open to the new. If you look at the first photo where the wine fridge is, the opening is to the right. I was strategically taking photos since a corner of that room is a storage area of sorts, so I was trying to get as little of the mess as possible! The side opposite the sofa is actually French doors and 2 windows/bookcases on either side
The ceilings are 9 ft. tall.

The toe kicks are actually stainless - it's simply a very thin layer of stainless steel over wood, rather than solid stainless. The tiny lights in the island toe kick are called plinth lights in the UK, but I couldn't really find a comparable term for the US! I initially found them in British design magazines and had to have them. They serve no useful purpose really and are simply decorative :) They look nice at night with the other lighting dimmed.
