Well, don't go break the bank on something that hands out radon, or cannot be effectively cleaned without a college diploma! A very nice countertop that is a solid surface, and just simply white will be very pretty. Keep it simple, Let your floor shine. Oak and cedar wood does go with green(I call yours' Emerald and Gold....not really Forest or Pine on my monitor) just take a walk in a park or maybe just in a Nature area. There is nothing prettier than wood and green grass with the colors of birds and butterflies around. Nature does not make mistakes...so I think the counters, and the appliances as they can(need is the only thing that moves mine out)be changed to white with your sink....will be a very pleasant transition, and be careful doing that drywall painting. Your floor and your wood and your counters will need some time and effort to be duly protected. Maybe that will sink and counter top will lead you to the right shade for your walls. There are alot to choose from in just the family of lites/ whites..

Before you get your heart set on hardwood, I suggest that you go out and get an idea of the installed cost. I had my heart set on hardwood throughout my “new to me” house, but I did not want laminate, was disgusted by the quality of engineered hardwood floors, and could not get solid hardwood at a reasonable price. Sadly, I had to settle for new carpet. I hope you have better luck than I did. It may be related to materials availability, labor costs and labor availability in the Pacific Northwest. If I were in the Central or Eastern U.S., it would have been much easier to get hardwood.

This is my wood kitchens ides book. You might see a look you like. https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/75202366/list/wood-kitchens I also think going for a Luxury Vinyl tile might be the way to go rather than wood look. I have a refreshed oak kitchen with oak hardwood floors which I like just fine. However, your cabinets look like they might nearing the end of their life. If a new buyer changes them out, the new flooring may have to go too. Put something in that is neat and clean so the home is move in ready, but that won't be a rip out of expensive new materials if the new owners change things up in a couple of years.

That is not a particularly traditional kitchen. And in my opinion, not necessarily so elegant. It also looks like that kitchen has white cabinetry. There is a ton of contrast in that space you show above, and a lot of ”shine” - on the ceiling alone. The light blue tones of the ceiling may evoke some degree of calmness in the space, though; light/pastel blues on a ceiling can do that, and they can also make the room appear more spacious/ the ceiling appears higher. But the main thing that is saving that space from seeming completely chaotic is the lighting. Notice the lighting in that space. If that space had your fluorescent lighting, it would be a nightmare. Look - there is nothing wrong with your kitchen. Really. Wood for cabinetry is very much en vogue right now - plus is classic. All types of wood are trending, including yours. And the slab front type styling on your cabinetry is also trending. There is also nothing wrong with the finish (shine) on the current granite. It is classic stone, and is not out of date. Would a piece of marble with some shine be considered out of date now? No. These are all personal preferences, at this point - not mandates for what is in style or not. The lighting in your space is the MAIN ISSUE. And if the lighting has not yet been settled, you are not even seeing the space accurately. Your space is really MUCH MORE cohesive and ”calm” than the kitchen in the pic you are showing above. Nothing wrong with your black appliances, either. They worked well with the counters and cabinets. But the stainless is fine, too - and will help to integrate your floor.
