Start searching barn sales, antique stores. Could you post a photo? Could do plates. Could look for an old door.

I think it can be stunning! I agree with cabinets to the ceiling except use cdrown molding for the English look you desire. By all means good lighting however to achieve the look do not use harsh lighting. Have dimmers and have a smallish lamp on one of your countertops for ambient lighting. I do suggest Carrera marble if you go grey or hammered stainless (to resemble pewter) if you go dark blue for your countertops and pl;ease consider hanging some antique mirror. I have a wonderful photo of a tiny deep blue kitchen and cannot seem to lay my hands on it. If I find it soon I will post it for you. I hope you will go for it and post photos! Hope this helps. :)

Add a great large low profile cutting board, and by large I mean really large. Maybe even 2nd smaller one in a contrasting wood color and grain ie large one end grain and smaller skinny long one cross grain one. Even add a chrome or silver 3 layer tray thingy for fruits to be at hand but in a nice display vs a simple bowl. Get some some enamel bowls with color and use them through the counter and island. Either all same color or in the same family of colours, I'd cut out the panels in the doors by the cooktop and put in either bubbled glass or mesh and interior light them. Maybe one of the door one by the wall ovens, paint it out in caulk board paint or use some HDF thin board as an inset and have it as interesting feature to breakup that wall of cabinetry.
