My kitchen... what's next?

My kitchen is in need of a lot of love. I am thinking of painting the cabinets a green/grey color and then finishing with a dab of stain and sandpaper. Let's hope my amazingly talented husband is up for helping me with this! Here are a few color options:































At the moment my cabinet doors are off, but I think I should rehang them. I am hoping to replace the frosted glass with chicken wire or new glass fronts. How much chicken wire is too much?

















I also need to add either a wall of shelving, using lovely shelving brackets and painted wooden planks of course....



















... or finding a beautiful piece of furniture like this to serve as my pantry:


















The kitchen has granite counter tops, which is wonderful and I know this should make me satisfied enough, but they are very dark and not what I would have chosen. Even though replacing the granite is not currently high on my priority list, I can still dream! I would prefer a white counter top, much like these:



























I am also going to skirt the metal cabinet holding my perfectly stunning old porcelain sink. Here are a few pics:































The only other things I will need to work on are:
lighting (chandeliers vs pendants),
flooring (we currently tiles, which I would like to replace or even cover with a few pretty, bleached rugs)
window treatments (a set of window treatments, most likely white sheers

It will be perfectly beautiful one day soon! I can't wait.
