Hi everyone! We are closing on our forever home soon and am looking for ideas to update the kitchen.

Regarding the cabinets, I am not completely opposed to keeping them but I do wish the uppers went to the ceiling. The island is also pretty small with the microwave installed in it. Would a peninsula make more sense than keeping the island? However, that might require all new cabinets which would be much more costly.

A cheaper upgrade would be installing new countertops, backsplash, sink, curtains and hardware. I attached an AI rendering of my inspo but would love any advice or ideas.
