New light fittings and new stainless handles, a white stone bench top, mid grey floor tiles. Tidy up ceiling and re-paint. Add a white timber venetian blind (use the wide slats).

Keep the timber doors, etc. People don't do timber country style kitchens much anymore due to the high cost's when compared to the mass produced white kitchens, therefore timber kitchen's like this are now out of fashion! I'd live with the timber kitchen look until the rest is done then decide on keeping the stained timber or re-paint it white for that 'beachy Hamptons' look.

You could paint your cupboards pretty much any colour you like Lynne, depends on what you like. I'm seriously loving some of the navy blue kitchens that are about at the moment. We're just finishing off a small kitchen for a rental that we've done with black doors/drawers, timber bench top and classic cream pressed tin panel splash back (it is a c.1880s house). Search Houzz or Pinterest for inspiration, start an ideas book, you are only limited by your imagination.

Always a little hard to tell with pics but it looks like your new floor would also work in the kitchen. You could certainly go with white or cream cupboards with this timber but as said above, the colour options are endless....
