Here are a couple of Houzz kitchens with multiple finishes, including copper hoods, though these are more transitional than old world.

Would you be up for switching ovens and frig and putting prep sink on other side of island? It gets the prep sink out of counter seating overhang area and the ovens closer to cooktop. I think I'd also move the DW to the left of the sink. I'm sorry I can't answer style questions, but it sounds pretty!

I wouldn't do different countertop AND different cabinets on perimeter vs island. Either mix the cabinets or countertop but not both. I've heard cooper sinks are hard to maintain. I would probably go stainless steel sink and hood but add copper accents (bands/rivers) to the hood.

It's going to be beautiful. One thing I noticed is you have mostly doors for your lowers. I would switch to all drawers on your lowers. You can store more, and it's easier to get things in and out of drawers.

I would also flip your dw to the other side of your sink.

Black kitchens look great when there is a lot of natural light. Many types of cream countertops would look spectacular. I'm not so sure about butcher block on the island. I think I would be looking at one of those really large spectacular showstopper slabs of rock because you have such an open expanse to show all of the interesting facets which is why you buy rock in the first place. The sample pictures you posted show direct sunlight coming into the kitchen. So long as you also have that direct sunlight it should look fine if not, you may find it too dark no matter how light the countertops are.

That kitchen is so close to perfection in function, but the points above on doors-drawers and flipping things would really improve it. To those points, I would add that you should see the size of the prep sink in real life before agreeing to it. You have a really large island and a very small prep sink and you may find that just going a little larger on the prep sink will really help you. Personally, I would despise having the refrigerator in the middle of a cabinet run, you just lose counter space and you lose the illusion of open space/visual line in doing that.

no comment on the colors - but one thing I learned the hard way (but that you may already know) is that many range hoods are made assuming that the top cabinets will be of a certain depth, which may not be the depth of your cabinets. So be sure to focus on that before you purchase and make sure you don't end up with a range hood that doesn't extend sufficiently beyond the adjacent cabinets.

Thanks everyone for your thoughts!

rjknsf - I have thought about a stainless hood which is a viable option but I'm not a fan of a stainless sink. I could mix a stainless hood with a granite sink like here.

cluelessincolorado - That's a great point about the island sink, no opposition to move it. Also not opposed to moving the ovens and the fridge although I'll have to ask the KD if there's any spacing problems with that change. Why would you move the DW to the left of the sink, so the stainless all stays together?

smm5525 - I like the idea of having contrasting finish straps on the hood.

cpartist - I'll ask the KD about drawers for the lowers. I'm assuming that'll be more expensive.

practigal - Agreed that black cabinets might make the kitchen look dark without enough natural light even if you go with light countertops. I'm hoping the 12' sliding door behind the island in addition to the windows will be ample light.

winonelson - I did not know that about the potential range hood depth issue so thanks for pointing that out.

Agree about moving the DW to the other side of the sink. The move gets the DW out of the way of the secondary Prep Zone b/w the sink and cooktop. While it's not as crucial as it would be if the only Prep Zone was b/w the sink and cooktop, it's still better design to keep the DW out of both Prep Zones.

Disagree about moving the refrigerator. If you move it, the island becomes a barrier island b/w the island Prep Zone and the refrigerator.

In addition, you would have to cross back & forth through the Cleanup Zone to get to the refrigerator.

It will cost more for all drawers, but I strongly recommend them.

Is that the Artesia door style? I love that door, especially the drawer fronts! I originally had selected it, but due to budget constraints I ended up with the Anson door. The Anson has the same drawer front as the Artesia and since I had more drawers than doors, it worked out fine. (I picked out a rather expensive counter and we had do a lot more work than anticipated on the infrastructure, so I had to cut somewhere - I changed the door style since I could still have my drawer fronts and the finish I really liked.)

ETA: Looking closer at the elevations, it doesn't look like the Artesia door style.

Hood -- personally, I don't think I'd like copper with the black cabinets. I think something in a "silver" color would look much better. Or, you could have a wood hood, but they're expensive.

Sink -- ditto about the "color" of the sink. A Silgranit sink might work better - plus you don't have the upkeep that copper requires in a sink. Stay away from nickel for a sink (and drain) - nickel is easily damaged by many household cleaners. It's OK for a faucet, but not a sink.
