I could definitely use some advice on the kitchen of the house I've just purchased, my first! Some days I walk in and just get so frustrated at how it looks, I could definitely use some advice based on my thinking so far. Tips on little things to get started on, before moving on to bigger rehab work.

Firstly, I hate almost everything about my cabinets. The height of the cabinets is what really makes me cringe right off the bat. Looking online at house pictures is kind of like watching porn - excuse the crude reference... it sets me up for an unrealistic expectation of what a home should look like - Because those pictures depict million dollar homes with professional designers. Hat being said, almost every kitchen photo I look at has cabinets that reach the ceiling - either with molding and spacers or they are built that way. There is 23 inches between the top of these cabinets and the ceiling.
The second thing that I'm not happy with is the layout of the appliances. As you can see in the photos, the refrigerator is just free standing on its own. I like the look of a built in, unified kitchen, definitely not the fridge sitting in what looks like an addition. I also think that the stove and the dishwasher are where the other should be. Dishwasher next to the sink - stove with counter space on either side for working.
Then there's that other cabinet just floating in the "dining room". I think that area will be converted into a small bar down the line.
Back to the main cabinets, I have thought of painting them white to give them a more updated look. But what about the space between the cabinets and the floor? And the end of the cabinet by the basement door there. It looks like they only finished the job to 85%. There's no detail work. I feel like this whole kitchen lacks polish or depth.
Any thoughts, small or large would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
