You've got to remember that it's called a toe-kick for a reason, it's
a place for your toes. So if you eliminate it, you need to extend
your counter-tops out an equal distance so you can stand against
them. Then next thing is, of course, is just how close do you want
the bottom of the doors to the floor.
Here are a few ideas that'll make my architectural friends cringe:
1. You could eliminate the kicks, extend the counter tops and them
use some sort of under-counter top lighting to spice up the place. It
could be some sort of colored mood lighting or something to highlight
your floors -- or it could just be a nice, low night lighting.
B. You could put recessed doors down there and store small, seldom
used items. The doors could slide out.
III. You could put some sort of race-lighting there where the LEDs
run around the kitchen.
