In the case of refrigerators, bigger is better. Since you're hoping to eliminate the deep freeze in the pantry, you will need to make sure you have PLENTY of freezer space. Many of the larger cu ft fridges have more fridge space but the freezer space is the same as smaller cu ft fridges. I second the Samsung recommendation. We have the Kenmore Elite badged Samsung counter depth. We chose the Kenmore version because with all else being the same, I liked the handles better. The one thing I didn't believe was true when the salesman said it, was that the fruits & veggies would stay fresh longer. Well, we've been in the new house 6 months and by golly, he was right! Pleasantly surprised :-) That would come in handy for storing the raw ingredients for the baby food. It is also quiet--you can't even hear it running except for when the ice drops into the bin. Some have reported problems with their icemakers, but we have had no problems--the icemaker will put itself in the 'Off' mode if the bin is super full. There's a reset button for that that I think alot of people miss. Since you're also looking at Kenmore, remember that Kenmore appliances are made by a myriad of different companies. In the fridge department alone you've got Whirlpool, LG, Kitchen Aid, Samsung & GE making refrigerators with a Kenmore badge. You'll want to check reviews on both the Kenmore badged refrigerator as well as the one with the manufacturer's label on it. Generally you can tell which manufacturer made a particular model by the ice maker and/or the cooling system design as they typically use the same ones in the Kenmore that they do in their regular lineup ;-) Here's a link to the full size Samsung that we bought the counter depth version of. It's one of the largest 36" wide refrigerators on the market at 29.6 cuft. It only has 1 review and the guy gave the fridge 1 star because he was having problems with the apps (yes, you read that right--the apps). Who buys a fridge for the apps, for heaven's sake?!? Anyway, hope this helps & congrats on your new baby! Here is a link that might be useful: Samsung 29.6 cu ft Refrigerator

Marazzi Uniche is THE go to for those looking to coordinate with old travertine. But often, those old travertine installs are in poor condition, with the fill coming out, are etched from acidic cleaning products, leak from an improper build, and are impossible to actually clean. So realistically assess keeping them at all. https://www.marazziusa.com/products/stone-look/uniche

I can see were EG would not work here. A darker, warmer gray might but I would keep it simple myself. I think your cabinets are lovely. It’s very hard to tell how any color will look in a space viewing it on a monitor! Nearly impossible actually. This is just a suggestion. You could try a neutral, lighter color such as BM barely beige. It still has warmth but isn’t yellow. Here it is compared to your current color. See how it looks with your trim though, you may have to repaint that. You could do the trim in the same color in a higher sheen.

What's the thing labels P/R on your floor plan? If you could change the door to the garage to facing it and use it for a hall closet, you'd have a place to put your stuff. I'd install a mudroom cubby thing with hooks to the right of the garage door. If your garage is a mess of car parts and lawnmowers, paint a square on the floor in front of your cubbies and tell your hubby he needs to keep his garage stuff out of it. Train your kids to take their backpacks to their rooms. Or empty them and clean up the stuff. Star charts for a carrot, the stick is a natural consequence, like not setting a place at the table for them if their junk is in the way. They have to clean it up and get their own dishes. When I used natural consequences for getting my kids to put their dishes in the DW, it worked like a charm.
