You've got a good start with white cabinets! Do you really need to reface those?
I can see the lowers, to get that sea-ish blue you would, but really, your kitchen is 1/2 way there.

More light, yes.
Detail like crown molding.
Where's the fridge in the picture?
How big is your dining area?
Is it walled in or is it open to another room?

It looks like you have a lot of wasted space in that dining area. Could you take out your peninsula, extend your cabinets more towards the window and make an island parallel to the sink cabinets? How much room do you have? Do you need the desk cabinets on that wall, or could they be removed (and repurposed) to make room for seating on an island?

Oooo... Put your fridge where your pantry is and give yourself more counter space?

Sorry. I just suck at this, but I'm looking at it from the view point of if it were mine.

first thing i would do, and you don't have to wait to do it: Remove cabinets entirely from the desk wall. Second thing: call someone to discuss removal of your textured ceiling and discuss a lighting plan. Third thing: think about more wall areas to be VOIDED of cabinets completely...which involves inventory of your kitchen items and working with storage under counters primarily...and then if need be, add one or two wall cabinets.... then see what you NEED to place back on desk wall. You can order that as a contrasting area and spend a little there. In real life: you have a low pitch ceiling, one single window. Think: floating shelves, can lights, light beautiful counters, and something interesting on desk wall, but not overdone. Get a stainless chimney style hood. I would not drool over the inspiration pic except for the tones and lightness of feel. The moldings and height can't really be applied to your space, and strongly feel the open ,minimal wall treatments will be your best friend in your space.

With the doors in that shape, that shows the boxes are not good quality either. They don’t put that quality of doors on great quality boxes. Refacing costs 75-150% of buying new cabinets. That means replacement of all cabinets.

This is a full blown remodel. Not a band aid or refresh. Especially since you are already planning floors. Keep planning and saving now, and do it all at once.

I'm with Sophie - I wouldn't put a lot of money into your current kitchen, with cabinets in that kind of shape. It looks like you have a nice space - you could make much better use of it!

Would you be willing to sketch out a floor plan of the kitchen and eating area with dimensions? And a sketch of where the kitchen fits into the rest of the house (where the doors go). I see lots of possibilities here, but not with your existing cabinets and layout.

Cabinets starting to fall apart

Useless desk

New flooring

Yep, Looks like the kitchen has reached the time for retirement.

It's time to treat yourself to a whole kitchen remodel.
