Yes, you can.

That really leaves you with the current arrangement, replacing the grey chair by the front window with kid stuff and leaving the floating living space opposite the TV. I'd really look into rerouting cable so the TV can be where the large art piece is. It's not usually very expensive and will be necessary in order to keep your walkway from running right in front of the tv.

I would work with oak in a clear coat or Hickory if you like lots of movement (you can use character grade to get the variation you are looking for). You have red/orange tones that is in the wheel house of red oak. If you want a stain then white oak is a better choice. Here's the problem you are running into, and I see this all the time: men (not always but often) LOVE the look of 'wood'. Any wood. So long as they can see the grain and watch it glint in sunlight (we call this depth). Getting someone like that to paint or 'change' wood is a hassle. They grab that bone and fight fiercely to hold on to it. Sadly they don't see the forest for the trees (ha...see what I did there?). If you can convince partner to CLEAN UP that kitchen (the two woods are NOT working together...the traditional/dated accents are less than ideal) you will win a battle while at the same time winning the war. Prove the REAL WOOD on the floor can do EVERYTHING your partner wants in wood (see all the pretty gold sparklies) while MODERNIZING the kitchen. The kitchen is killing BOTH of your vibes. It is a mishmash of wood and concepts. It screams out 'patchwork repairs' which does NOTHING for the home NOR the wood NOR your styles (either of them). The way to UNIFY this kitchen is to paint it. I know. Partner is DEAD set against it. But it will do EVERYTHING you want. Painted cupboards mean you get the BEST POSSIBLE WOOD FLOOR you want while at the same time UPDATING a kitchen that is out of step with itself. Painting the cabinets will make the counter tops SHINE! They will be the STAR of the kitchen. Right now they are an after thought because the mix of woods is overwhelming them. And those are LOUD counters (not a bad thing...they just are). So imagine the RACKET the cabinets HAVE TO MAKE to cause those Divas to take a back seat! Yah...now you are getting it. Your style of cabinets paint out VERY NICELY. The 'outdated' oak turns into a fresh transitional kitchen with only a few thousand dollars spent painting them. A single colour cabinet means your counter tops can really make themselves SEEN. In short, your partners 'want' to keep the kitchen as-is, is causing EVERYTHING to look bad (or badly thought out). If he allows the ONE thing to be done (painting the cabinets) he can have EVERYTHING ELSE work marvelously. And have marvelous hardwood floors as well. Compromise will allow EVERYONE to get what they want while allowing the entire house to shine. Have hubby read these posts. It might help wake him up to the possibilities.

Not much wrong with your current fan, but do not replace it with clear glass as you will loose a lot of light output, or the bulbs will glare. if you don't like the fan get one with a frosted glass it will allow you to use the full wattage, as that seems to be your main light source. I like the chandelier candelabra style, again you really don't want more glare and or cleaning than needed and simple would be very nice here. Be sure to measure your table and know the height of the ceiling to make sure you get the right sized fixture.
