I came across this photo in another forum. Notice how the over-the range cabinet makes the small cabinet look less lonesome. It's actually a very nice run of cabinets. You could do the same with a pro-style SS hood instead of a microwave.
Chimney hoods are a bit more modern, while your home is traditional. They're also harder to clean--I hate cleaning mine because so much of it is unreachable without a step stool.
