Neat design/cad program...what is it?
I vote for the first one. Although the floating cabinets or hood as shown in the second proposal looks cool, it would seem to make the space more cramped given that its not part of a more open floor plan. Wish you were closer...I could make you a helluva deal on a stainless wall mount 36" vent hood I can't use that I snagged as part of a package at a charity auction.
