Help -blank slate for a kitchen...almost

tookien

We have inherited a large group of cabinets but don't necessarily have to use them. Looking for ideas on how to finish this almost blank slate of a kitchen.
The setting is a complete floor up remodel of a large fishing lodge in a Colorado high mountain valley.

    Put the short uppers above the sink then stack the tall cabinets one ontop of the other next to the fridge for a pantry. I don't have a clear image on that midsized upper cabinet.

    Who will be using the space? Is this a small hotel or bed and breakfast or a private home?

    It's a private home now but our retirement plan includes selling "Stay and Fish" weekend packages.
    So you think we can find a way to make these cabinets work?

    Oh, anything can work..This is a wonderful space. Can you possibly give us a better image of all the cabinets you have not figured into the stove run?

    The master light switch wall looks like it would be able to convert to smart home.

    The house will be on full solar next spring. It is a huge project! Here are the rest of the cabinets not already in line. The only thing I don't have a pic of is the ones that are already deployed in the wine tasting room.

    Are the 2 smaller cabinets the same size?

    Free yes, you are 1000% correct but I think these could be painted white and lots and lots of stainless industrial incorporated. After all free is a good thing.

    If we kept the stainless industrial vibe going, would you do anything to cover the pipes under the sink, put tile behind there or just baseboards?

    You can close that space in the middle with a great island.

    You could make a skirt around the sink in wainscot. The thing is you would want to marry the 2 looks. For instance if the 2 smaller cabinets are the same size put them just above the lights at the sink with the stainless shelves and a rack for hanging utensils and pans in between. I would move the stove so that it was off that front area. Use a large stainless countertop on the front row where the stove currently is so stools could be added on the other side. Again we need a basic floor plan to work it out to make any sense. Check local auctions for restaurants that are selling off their old items.

    Some more images to ponder.

    I love the idea of incorporating stainless. It never dawned on me to go that direction. Narrowmindedly I just thought we would go a more rustic look. Headed out there for the weekend and I can't wait to share all your ideas with my husband.
    Thank you all. This is a huge project for us so there will be many other posts and pleas for guidance.
