Square Stove Top

What would you do to this kitchen?

The sky's the limit....as far as price & design.

What color walls? What type of floors & countertops?

Ideas of mine:
-Keep the dark wood finish
-Fill in the bay window w/bench that has a top that flips (storage)
-Replace the oven
-Close in the square over the stove & build in a groove (built-in cookbook holder)
-New chandelier
-Do something with that top border over sink

The ovens have to go and they need to be stainless to match the fridge. I would assume your dishwasher is stainless but if not replace it to match. The wall paper border should be taken off and painted instead. It's too dark and busy and it brings the ceiling down. A new chandelier is a good idea and so is a built in bench under the bay window. I wouldn't close in the square behind the stove for a cookbook holder. It's too close to the cooktop to have paper of any kind. The slightest cooking flareup and you're going to have a fire. Get a cookbook prop and set it on the island when cooking. Use the niche for salt & pepper shakers, decorative oil cans, or other cooking spices. The largest expense will be the countertops. While they are serviceable, granite or a similar smooth stone is preferable to grouted tiles.
