Kitchen
If we redo the kitchen window and the living room window, we could have black interior windows in the house. It would definitely pull the house more modern in theme. Note we may also need to replace the slider to the backyard in the living room off the kitchen as the report says one of the latches is broken. We'd particularly do that if we were going this route as then all the doors / windows would match. But you start to add cost.
If we were to open the wall between the kitchen and the living room, we could extend the island countertop 18-24" to put bar stools on the island. It would make the storage underneath more of "long term storage". We risk the Kitchen not having enough storage if we also remove the upper countertops but it's an option nonetheless.
