When you say "more modern"...do you really mean modern, or updated? Your cabinet door style combined with that granite will never read modern, BUT your granite is beautiful.

You have a beautiful, spacious traditional kitchen. I suspect the rest of the house is equally traditional in style? The style of the backsplash and flooring is a bit dated, so I can see replacing them, although I'm not sure how budget friendly that will be. Keep the granite but don't paint those beautiful cabinets.

Thanks for your opinions. Really appreciate them. I guess I’m looking to update more than going modern. I agree to keep the granite. Maybe we should start with the floor and backsplash and lighting . Thanks again !

The floor is the worst offender. Start with that for sure.

The granite and cabinets seem made for each other. Together, they can be a great foundation for a refreshed kitchen.

Good plan Laura. Floor, backsplash and maybe adding cabinet hardware would make a huge change.

Another vote for the same. A dark backsplash would be striking and would modernize it, depending on the floor you decide to go with.

Another vote to start with the floor and backsplash, and refresh the hardware.

That granite is a SHOW STOPPER. Gorgeous. I love @K R's idea of a dark backsplash.

Once those floors are updated that granite will be the star of your space.

Replace floors and backsplash. KEEP that beautiful granite, and don’t paint the cabinets. The wood is lovely and current. The granite is not that speckled kind that reads so 80s and 90s. The veining is very 2021 and it complements your cabinets beautifully!

I agree with the majority - keep the granite and the cabinets (don't paint them), lose the floor and backsplash. Add hardware and paint. Done!

I agree. Keep the cabinets and countertops, and change out the floor and back splash.

I also agree with most everyone! Keep the beautiful cabinets and gorgeous countertops and change the floor to something lighter. The present color is competing against the cabinets and countertops and I suggest an off white or creamy color--Stay away from more brown. Same with the backsplash!

Not sure how to vote on this. It's a yes/no question, correct? Keep or remove granite? But then both pics have the granite in them..?

I actually like the cabinets and would not paint them and consider replacing the counters.
