Just to re-empathize what SRS said: you cannot possibly have too many outlets in a kitchen - or anywhere else for that matter! I also second the comment about ventilation. While in the wintertime it is sometimes helpful to put a bit of moisture into the air by way of a steaming pot, in the summer it can make your space feel like a jungle.

BTW, I am a staunch believer in a brightly lit kitchen. However, I also very much appreciate the strings of low voltage "accent lights" we have attached to the underside of the hanging cabinets. These little lamps look a bit like glorified fuses, (the kind they used to use in cars, for instance.) They are very small, clear tubes about 2 inches long and have metal caps on either end which allow them to snap into small receiving brackets. We take full advantage of these low voltage lights by attaching them to a dimmer. Sometimes, you know, all you need is enough light to find your coffee cup and a spoon.
