One thing I would consider if you have an option - you have 2 white melamine bookcases on either side of your vintage white cabinet w/ the enamel top. That vintage piece is fabulous - I've always loved those - but it is closed off with those bookcases crammed in on either side. It looks like the bookcases hold cookbooks, crockpot, etc. Is there any way to put those somewhere else? An office, pantry, or basement? I moved all my cookbooks to my office which really opened some room up in the kitchen (keeping my favorite in the kitchen) - as they are not needed there every day. Anyway, just a thought to show off that cabinet a bit more, as that is my favorite thing in your kitchen.

Not really any other place to put them. My pantry is a cabinet in the utility room, that we bought from lowes. And we don't have a basement.  The cabinet has some damage on the side, because it is soooo old. The bookcases hide the damage.

The vine border had to go. Now you can see - and appreciate - the lovely decor.

Oh and I also meant to add, that we can't center the flour cabinet or the white wooden bookcases, because on the left side leading into the hall, is the return vent for the central unit. And we can't block off the vent.
