update it to why? What don't you like

This is beautiful ... don't change what isn't broken!

I would give it different feeling by painting the dimensional ceiling different shades to coordinate, The only other suggestion is paint again. If you feel you must change it then get bold and stain upper cabinets and paint lower... Mostly enjoy whatever Its a nice kitchen

The room is appearing well lot but is dark in the home...and the cabinets have grey pink tone that making feel more dark. I like both suggestions above.

What about adding some hardware to the cabinets? Maybe something in nickel to reflect the light and match the appliances?

New, more contemporary pendants, new stools, and a paint job. Do you really need the door between the kitchen and dining room? Remove it, perhaps?

Great kitchen and just a few small updates from the great ideas above, I like these suggestions and concur:
- new paint on walls
- love the lantern idea for the island
- new island stools, white modern leather
- cabinet pulls
Do you have lighting inside your glass cabinets?
