It looks like your kitchen matches the rest of the house and unless you're making sweeping changes everywhere, including furniture, a more modern looking kitchen will look out of place.

I guess maybe I just want to tone it down. I am looking to get a new kitchen table and stools and am looking for some design ideas. As well as new paint color for walls

I'd change out the lighting, furniture, window treatment for something more clean-lined and simple. Also, repaint the walls in a single color, not the faux finish you have now. Finally remove the branches over the French doors, as well as the corbels in the doorway.

BTW, that style is not Tuscan in any sense that you'd find it in Tuscany, Italy. It was an American interpretation of what Tuscan is. Here is an Architectural Digest article on real country kitchens, some of which are in Italy, France, and America:

the kitchen proper can meld with other looks around the space. chic farmhouse table with more pine-warm feel-straightforward lines- might see if pillars could be cased in beadboard -box the round smooth element with something more rustic/natural. Start editing the glazed and wrought iron curlie-Q's wherever they are, and a lot can be accomplished just with that. the biggest single thing would be a hardwood floor laid in your space but not sure you are up for that. I would not paint cabinets as I don't think it's necessary for your goals. Is that a faux paint, professionally done? Hmmm....there is not a lot of it....I'd transform the pillars first and see.

When I first looked at your kitchen, I thought what a nice kitchen. And then I though well, maybe the table and chairs along with the lighting and valance make it look "tuscan". Then I read your post saying that is exactly what you are looking to update so I think you are doing well. The cabinets are classic (to me) and it's really just some lighting and paint. I agree with the other posts not to mess with the cabinets or anything really major.

I love the suggestions above. I think I would consider painting the walls a light neutral color as well.

Thank you for all your ideas. I love all those pictures and that’s exactly the type of table I was looking to purchase maybe with fabric cream/beige chairs to lighten up the space. I also need a new dishwasher as my appliances are starting to break since my kitchen is now 15 yrs old and I wasn’t sure if I should still do the dishwasher with the cabinet panels (as it was originally done) or go with stainless? Or a color? Also my family room is now a cream color not the green shown in the pics. Do you think I should carry that into my kitchen and possibly the dining area?

Get rid of that hood and do a copper one in its place that doesn’t restrict you working around the range.

Same thing with those posts on either side of the range. Get rid of them, have the stone recut, and put in a larger range.

When I look at that kitchen and think back to the 90s, I think this is a really good reminder of what happens when you go overboard with trends and was hoping that everyone who is painting their kitchens gray right now and using grey and white marble quartz counter tops with white subway tile back splashes would look at this and think about what they're doing and make the connection.

In terms of what I would do with your kitchen without breaking the bank ... I would repaint the walls a light neutral color. I would get stainless appliances. I would remove the valance over the sink window, the faux greenery on the sliding door, and the corbels. I would remove the sconces over the stove top and all of the knickknacks up there. I would "downgrade" the lighting fixture over the breakfast nook table to something more simple without any crystals on it. I would not put a bar stool at the island, just leave it open. I would get new chairs for the breakfast nook table. Then you need to carry that same light neutral wall color into the dining room. Red dining rooms are as dated as "Tuscan" kitchens.

You can lighten the feel of the decor by removing all heavy and dark-toned window treatments, using much lighter paint colors and furniture colors and replacing as much of the wrought iron as possible with other materials in lighter tones. The cabinetry will still be Mediterranean, but it will feel like a lighter version of Mediterranean, maybe sunny coastal Mediterranean rather than inland Mediterranean.

It's a lovely home!

In addition to what has been mentioned, I'd remove those posts next to the range, the Cucina sign, some of those arches under the cabinets (and above the sink), and replace the faucets.

Further, repaint dining room, remove some of those corbels, and simplify window treatments.

I agree with the above.

- New Paint

- Remove Hood

- Change stove

-Remove posts to ones with square lines and custom paint to match existing.

- New Backsplash

- Remove Window Valance and use the crown for wall cabinet returns.

- Change farm sink to a simple one that is the correct height because your existing sink is taller than the counter.-Change counter.

I love the photos of Patina Farm, Brooke and Steve Gianetti's home in Ojai, California, posted by BevFladeziner! Funny, Bev, when I hear "mediterranean" I think of the stuff my Mom had in the 60s!

Mediterranean in this case is geographic using the influence of southern France, Spain, Greece, Moroccan, etc. It allows the OP to select items from a broader style base.

But Diana, I remember the 60's and the few Mediterranean pieces my mother purchased. That look was more trendy than classic.

ALL of those window coverings need to be replaced with long simple panels. All of the posts, corbels, and hanging plants need to be removed. New tables, chairs, lighting & stools would really help the look also.
