Do you have the expertise to work a little grey-ish or brownish glaze into your cabinet crevices? As long as you have these very elaborate cabinet doors, why not play them up? You are actually very close to having what others on the GW would consider "one true kitchen" so brag it up. If your buyers are upset with the cabinet hardware, they are not going to buy the house. This is not their real issue; this is merely a symptom that the house is a mismatch with them. Someone else is going to love this kitchen. Go shopping for a pair of new rugs for each side of the island that are understated and that play up the color of the cabinets. Do not use that rug. Get some very attractive houseplants (pothos will do) in good looking brown pots that compliment the island and/or floor. Get some new canisters that are very neutral or that have a B&W aspect. Buy some kind of free-standing stove utensil holder(s) that would stand out between the range and the backsplash and consider suspending some decoratively finished pots or utensils from the overhang at the back over the range, to play up the depth and size of the range. We can't tell what was formerly on the display ledge over the range, but you should give yourself permission to put a gorgeous collection of something up there, perhaps something classic such as pewter plates or some kind of collectibles (or repros of collectibles). If you need to, decide on a third color for an accent color and put it into some kinds of vases, enameled iron casserole (inexpensive but classy will do), ceramic dishware, Kitchenaid mixer, rug(s), hand towels, chair upholstery, even some artificial foliage or flowers worked into the light fixture. Don't do all of these for an accent color but choose a few. A killer piece of art doesn't need to cost a lot. I remember recommending Picasso's descending peace dove graphic to someone with a kitchen like yours and she was dumbfounded and delighted; similarly, you could put in a Georgia O'Keefe closeup of a flower in a poster or a 17th century Old Master and do that kitchen no harm. Set out two places of placemats, hors'douvers dishes, and a modest flower arrangement on the end of island opposite of the range. Inside your refrigerator, be sure to stock a bottle of champagne and one or more of non-alcoholic fizzy stuff, a container of caviar, some posh cheese, some high-end yogurt, and plenty of pretty citrus. If you are determined to replace the refrig handles, put a flyer inside the refrigerator saying "we will replace the handles with X or Y for no charge" and show the photos of alternate handles. Are the over-the-range and door windows the only cabinet windows in the room? you could replace the glass with matte glass or with some kind of twinkly semi-transparent ripple glass. If so, also include vases and such that have ripple glass.

You might try asking your questions on the Home Decorating forum. Even though ppl ask color questions here, this forum is more for the process and product questions. Good luck!

I really wanted to reface the vanity, but it was going to be $850, which I thought was too much. I will probably do something later, but may reface it myself instead of getting someone else. For now, I painted it, added new hardware, and now just have to paint and attach the shoe molding.

Do you like a front patio I would not . IMO a new garage door in wood with windows , I like grayed / greens with brick this is one of my faves for color anew front door to match the siding and you could do something like the garage door in the pic I love a walkway from the street to the front door and in your case it would be awesome through those trees . Then a new landscape plan and I would not do a front patio and my bet not HOA approved either
