Okay so I am wanting to redo my kitchen...right now (because of my mother) it looks like a crackle barell throw back...i love the simple country look but it needs somthing...somthing...idk just somthing...

I'll post more pics tomorrow so I can kinda give a full view...lol

An easy update is to change the handles.  Can't tell what the countertops are made off. 

[chipper87]

Paint them white (to brighten up a dark room) and change out the handles, get some appliance spray and spray your appliances stainless steal colored. Maybe do a tiny glass tile backsplash....make sure you do that area where that outlet is over the dishwasher.
Buy a potted lemon tree to make the room look fresher and give you naturally clean air.

maybe do a color scheme along the lines of green, grey, yellow and bright white.

assuming your counter is as green as it looks lol

 Yours looks like mine did BEFORE I painted my cabinets antique white. I wish I would have done it sooner! It was quite a job and it's hard to keep clean, but I am so glad the oak is gone! I also had wood floors and it was just too much wood. Mine were also that orangey oak and I just couldnt look at it one more day!

What I DID do that looks gorgeous with oak or any wood for that matter is paint the walls LOGGIA by Sherwin Williams in my bathroom...it is such a pretty sage-olive color and makes me so happy to see it that I may just start painting all the other walls the very same color!

 BTW I actually like your kitchen as is...If you spray painted the handles or changed them out to a oil rubbed bronze, that would freshen it up too!

I think there are a lot of good suggestions. I think maybe a cool hanging pot rack with lights might be a nice addition over that part of the counter. You can even put plants in the top part to add some greenery. Good luck.
