Hi BeekeepersWife...I just read this in the pot rack thread.
"I would love to post a before and after, but Photobucket has lost my photos that included my before shots, so here is an after, imagine a potrack, about the size of that island....it blocked the view, visually made the space smaller."
My kitchen has almost the same layout as the picture of your kitchen you posted, although I think mine is smaller. My cooktop is in my island. We are redoing our kitchen, but not changing our layout or getting new cabinets, it's just a facelift. Anyway, we currently have no ventilation in our kitchen. I've been convinced by GW about how important a hood is and I really can't stand the cooking smells. My concern is that a hood is going to do exactly what you described above. It's going to be the first thing you see when you walk in the kitchen and it's going to make the space seem smaller.
I'm not really sure what my question is...you just wrote exactly what I've been worrying about. I'm guessing you wouldn't give up a hood for these reasons?
btw, I LOVE your kitchen! It's one of my inspiration kitchens.
Thanks,
Stephanie
