Go buy an issue of Wallpaper or Surface, if you have tons and tons of cash (think kitchens starting at about $60k). Good for inspiration.
We are actually working on designing the kitchens for a townhouse development project (we are the architects, developers and marketing company). High end mags have great ideas that you can duplicate (at least closely) with companies like Ikea's cabinets, you just have to plan a little.

Built-in ironing board, for the missus.

Ikea kitchens are fine for the cabinetry if you're re-doing everything. Get custom counters and hardware, though. Butcherblock is great for counters, tung oil it and you're good to go.
Bottom-Freezer Fridge.
Don't get stainless, it's a PITA to keep clean.
And get some nice cabinet hardware. Rocky Mountain or Du Verre are both awesome and different than the average stuff.
