Cool, I will do some more layout sketches, and now have to think more about "style". Need to do some reading up on period architecture and decor. Will post some more pics later.

I really appreciate the feedback so far (and, hopefully, later in this thread too). Interesting project for me. I have never previously given any thought to kitchen design. My previous kitchens have all been so-so (or worse) and I was never inclined to spend any money on them. But I like this house and hoping to stay a while. Plus, not being quite as young as I was, I am starting to learn words like "ergonomics". (And similar charming concepts like "bifocals" and "gout")
