Are you looking for some ideas to decorate the kitchen or increase its functionality or both? How much do you each cook? Do you like to cook and cook a lot, do you like to cook and not have much time, do you eat out, do you heat up takeout?

Since you just moved to NYC, I would live in the apartment and use the kitchen for a few more months before making any changes or adding anything. You'll have a better idea by then of how you use/want to use the space, you might see something you like in your daily travels that you want to buy, you might check out a neighbor's apartment in the same line and get some ideas, etc. With the holidays coming, you might also want to talk to friends and family who are looking for gift ideas for you, because that might help to increase your options if you're on a budget. You could maybe blow up some of your photographs (including from IG if you or your husband have accounts) either from NYC or from wherever you're originally from and hang them on the wall over the little cart. Personal photos that are special to you both will be more personal than anything you can buy and will liven up the area too.

PS I'm with eld6161 -- I grew up in a NYC apartment and lived there after college too, and that's a good size kitchen with VERY decent storage : ) .
