What Would You Add To This Kitchen?

This AK kitchen from years back is the epitome of a kitchen with "great bones" and a totally neutral palette. If you were updating this space, what would you add or do to this kitchen? ...»

Would you include some bold accents, or new paint? Or do you like it just the way it is?

    with glass, use a dramatic island light over the bar and add a small, very furniture-esque island to the center of the room with an oversized drum shade light. Some type of roller shade on the window. A bigger pull down faucet and a hammered, copper apron sink. Maybe even add some accent, copper or metallic tiles to the backsplash.

Furniture: It's a woman's prerogative to get custom chair reupholstery done then decide she wants different chairs...right???

So, I was lucky to have Yamini skillfully and beautifully rebuild and recover my dining chairs only to decide that I would rather have abaca weave chairs instead. After living with my new ...»
chairs for a couple weeks, I now want to go with a different color scheme in my kitchen. If anyone's interested in 4 custom upholstered dining chairs at a fair price, let me know! (The picture may not show the colors correctly, but it's a paisley print with sage green, hints of yellow and some grey undertones. I hear the yellow and grey combo is all the rage now! Hmmm...)

My Pergola on my backyard patio

We installed an aluminum white pergola kit ordered from Lowes to our back patio when we lost our two patio shade trees. We love how it is maintenance free and gives us all the shade we need.

It has been said that kitchens are the selling point of a house because it is sort of like hang out place in a sense.

This is my kitchen; it is about the size of two port-a-potties fused together. I recently primed the cabinets because they were a dark stained wood color. I will upload more pictures, if there are responses. I am looking for thoughts on how to make my kitchen more open feeling. Feel free to ask questions and leave comments/offer suggestions--thanks!
