The only thing that has to go is the countertop since it’s damaged. However, because it‘ll be difficult to keep it intact when you replace the countertop, the backsplash might also need replacing. Do you have a budget in mind?

Focus on counter . You will get a new sink and faucet and w the window and light you can seek a stylish hi arc faucet . Corian or laminate would be my first inclination. Maybe a gray or the correct copperish brown would complement the greenish floor tiles. W north light and some color in your floor you really have to bring in samples to see. But you can do something for sure w countertop emphasis. Budget should be determined . Dont overspend......it's still an older space. white appliances look fine but where is the fridge ?

I’m not sure how I missed it when I first commented, but, in addition to the countertops (and perhaps the backsplash), the ceiling fan definitely needs to be in the “has to go” column!

I agree that a lot depends on your budget. The countertop needs to be replaced and with that, I would replace the backsplash with an inexpensive subway tile. Since the countertop is getting done, now is the time to replace the sink with a single bowl under mount style (something like this https://www.homedepot.com/p/KOHLER-Ballad-Undermount-Stainless-Steel-32-in-Single-Bowl-Kitchen-Sink-K-RH20061-NA/206889104 and a new high arch faucet something like this ( https://www.homedepot.com/p/MOEN-Brantford-Single-Handle-Pull-Down-Sprayer-Kitchen-Faucet-with-Power-Boost-in-Spot-Resist-Stainless-7185SRS/204808321 - Do NOT use the base plate on the faucet like you have now. Just get a sink with one hole for the faucet and perhaps another it you want a dish detergent dispenser. The sink and faucet shouldn't cost much more that $500, and NOW is the time to do that, when countertop and backsplash are being replaced. Then get rid of the ceiling fan or if you really need it, replace with a new one. The cabinet hardware can stay. It is simple and looks fine. I would change out the appliances to stainless when the budget allows. That's easy to do and won't disrupt anything that's getting done now so it can wait for a later date depending on budget.

I decided to change the floors. I am choosing between Nucore Lineage grey or lineage tan. Which do you think? The Cabinets are White Dove which is a warm white.

I would advise that you replace the ceiling fan or get rid of it altogether and replace with a surface mounted lighting fixture. Also would suggest removing the valance from the window. I wouldn't do anything to obstruct light getting into the kitchen. Would probably suggest that you add some downlights to help brighten. The countertops do appear damaged. So definitely yes to replacing them with granite, quartz, marble, etc. of your choice. Your flooring doesn't seem too bad. So, would keep. I would suggest adding some glass to a few of your cabinet doors and adding puck lights to those. Having some variation in cabinet doors and plus having the see into depth with glass in the doors really adds to a kitchen. Good luck!

Since your cabinets are white dove which is warm, I would chose the first option which is the tan.

Agree with Design Girl. The gray floor doesn't work with your cabinets.

If I were in your shoes, I would replace the countertop before considering changing out the floor.

I dislike tile floors but cushion mats might be a temporary help in your case as well. Then concentrate on more defining things like counter backsplash lighting . Then you can re evaluate and pick a floor. You have a traditional kitchen ...the choices you show seem like a tilt to contemporary . ....not in favor of these.

This is the direction I was going. It is true that this kitchen might look out of place in my traditional 1950s split level. I am open to other choices.

I would go with tan flooring option you suggested since your cabinets are warm white and your kitchen is facing north -- so I guess not that bright. I would also focus on the countertops and choose a color that would make the countertops an accent -- green soapstone for example if you're keeping your current flooring, or a warm looking option of marble looking quartz. For the backsplash, I would definitely go with the subway tile (you can look into various finishes and choose the one you like the best).
