That huge window right behind the gas stove top is one of the stupidest things I have ever seen in a kitchen, from a cleaning standpoint. Likewise the kitchen counter that is so large you are going to have to stand on it to clean it.
Why is a window such a big deal to clean? To me, it's no different than a solid glass backsplash and a lot easier to clean than many tile backsplashes. Windex, squeegie, voila!
But definitely, the excessively large island is pretty stupid.

yes, I was thinking the same thing. ugh, who feels like cleaning spaghetti sauce off of a window. Also the clunky range hood above it looks horrible.

A tile backsplash can just get a quick wipe-down and a thorough cleaning later. The window has to be scrubbed and cleaned EVERY time the stove top gets used.
I'm not really a fan of the kitchen in the OP. Maybe it feels different in person, but the large timbers overhead feel overpowering, to me.
Generally, I liked most of the kitchens; I thought there were some interesting ideas in most of them. But I didn't "love" any of them.
My house was built in 1902, and the original kitchen and bath were updated in the early 1950s. The bathroom was falling apart, and was completely unusable, so I already started the process of restoration, there. But someday, I'll redo the kitchen, and will probably use ideas from here: An Authentic Victorian Kitchen Design - Old-House Online - Old-House Online
