where is the range hood? how on earth are they venting the cooking grease/smoke/smells?

The cabinet to the left of the range is the dw, so a below counter fridge would not fit there. Le Bec Fin, the antique table is less than 4' from the fridge, so it's very easy to use that as the counter. We were thinking practically in that the kitchen and dining/ living room space are always in eye shot of the kitchen area, so we wanted it to be functional but also presentable. I didn't want light from the window to be blocked by cabinets. What it does feel like we gave up, but I'm glad we did, was counter space where the full height cabinets are. That was a harder decision than deciding against upper cabinets. Mr Beryl, the images above the range and counter haven't suffered any damage so far, but time will tell. They're inexpensive frames and prints of my own artwork, so easily replaceable.
Thanks for the comments!

i can't recommend a frig that has no adjacent counter. crazy. And when I see the choices made in this kitchen, I see Aesthetic ruling all, not practicality (i.e. storage and display space are scarce in this tiny kitchen, yet they choose to leave the entire wall above the counter- for 3 pictures?) For me, Practicality must have equal standing on a team with Aesthetic Appeal.

It's nice to see someone finally taking a stand against open shelving (a bad idea and a bad look, if you ask me), although those framed pieces right above the stove make no sense whatsoever, unless (i) your housekeeper comes every day and remembers to wipe them off and (ii) you don't mind damaging both the frame and whatever is in the frame with the heat. I find that "big credenza" look of the wood "furniture" under the counters to be quite heavy and oddly out of place with the light approach to the rest of the space. I'd have gone for lighter wood and more vertical lines, to bring the eye upward.
Otherwise, nicely done.
