Very cool. When we remodeled our Kitchen about 5 years ago, I did away with about half of the upper cabs, managed to work in a couple of extra windows, and a full glass door with sidelights. It just give the kitchen an open and airy feeling. I like your layout even better.
Who does not like natural light? No window covering on those windows is only a issue a few weeks a year, the sun gets on them. We are on the top of a big hill, so no can see in from outside, down the hill....
