Well, hmmm.
You're an awful long way in what you have to work with to get to your inspiration kitchen. So I think, instead, it would be a good idea to compile an idea book of 30's and 40's kitchens that have elements closer to what you have to work with. You can put that lovely thing in your back pocket and save for the gut reno, but in the meantime, let's see what else we can find.
OK, so what can we do with what we've got to work with, here? And just how much are you willing/able to DIY?
Consider a tone-on-tone checkerboard, since that will frustrate you less to keep clean. The white/light green or two-tone green both look nice. If you're really a DIY nut, you surely could do a painted wood floor in there, too. My kitchen floor is painted. It wears off, but then I just slap on another coat of paint. I can change up my flooring for the cost of 2 gallons of floor paint. :-)
Rounded, slab doors are sometimes seen in period kitchens, although yours are thick. If you really hate them (I can understand - I would really hate them) this is one of those instances in which I wouldn't be averse to painting. They're oak - you'll need a good grain filler and an excellent trim and cabinet paint, but it can be done. Just keep in mind that it will develop more wear-and-tear than a factory finish. However, if you're committed to a gut remodel in 10 years or so, it's an option. And add hardware. That will really make or break the look. Actually, if this were my kitchen, I'd be looking around for a woodshop that had a planer wide enough to thin down those doors. :-) Which would REALLY help get you closer to your "look".
Pull out your current hood and the cabs above it, and replace it with something else. Either a simple stainless hood, or a stainless hood with a surround. Colored, maybe?
Then take the door right off the kitchen to the left of the stove and make it open shelving, adding a scallop detail cutout as one of the period kitchens above.
Add a tile backsplash with a black liner tile detail.
Lots of work, can be done. What colors go where really depends on what your tolerance for color saturation is. You could go very white with some Nile green accents. Or you could go whole hog. It sort of depends on what the rest of the house looks like.
