Knobs and pulls would add a little much needed bling. Change hood if it's really something that bothers you, but I wouldn’t change the countertops or floor at this point. Your cabinets are nice. Bar stools could be more colorful and less dark woody. Wall color needs to change, but, I think there's another color issue there. The backsplash is travertine pinkish, and the granite seems to have more yellow tones. I have a similar backsplash and granite, but I used an enhancing sealer on my backsplash which changed the pink tone to more golden to blend with my granite. Perhaps your backsplash hasn’t been sealed yet and you can try an enhancing sealer to change the tone. Until the color difference between the backsplash and granite is resolved, you’ll run into a problem choosing a paint color for the walls. You could change the backsplash, but the white one you proposed is not the right one.

Good start to remove the clutter first ...saving only the pieces you really love...then ..i would paint the cabinets a pretty but pale color...and leave the walls the same.... so your favorite decor pieces will show nicely on the light background...lastly when returning things to the walls i would try to cluster matching things into groups more than little groupings all over..lastly i would try to move the microwave cart a little to the left and add a little longer top for a drop off counter with shelves under for your bag ?...groceries ?...things you need to temporarily need to sit down

Hi all, I'm hoping to bring this post back up because I'm finally ready to replace this backsplash. However, I brought home some tile boards today of 3x12 and 4x12 subway tiles and they looked so.... out of place? not quite right? I'm not sure why! Does anyone have any suggestions on what would work in this space? I'm looking to get away from anything busy. Wanted to keep it very neutral and am not sure why I'm not loving what I brought home. Perhaps since my kitchen is small and enclosed (no open shelves, glass cabinets, etc) a 3X6 tile would be better? Welcome any and all ideas....
