Chalkboard wall - I have seen this in other pictures and think it could be very cool. Like a dry erase board but looks much nicer.
Another option - brick backsplash to tie in the beams and match the front of the house.
Modern laminate counter; red ends I don't link the laminate so much, but the red ends are an option
Two tone cabinets: white top, black bottom, white counter
