I really like AT's suggestions, and their inspirations are totally on point. Can you hang anything from that overhang (it looks like a heating vent) above the blank wall? If that's weight bearing...
@bubble, vintage cast-iron is always better than new because it's had so much time to season. In time my Lodge pan will be just as good quality as those old stand-bys. And I love it in the meantime!
You already have some good suggestions above, but I just want to put in my two cents.

This is soooooo good! I tried it tonight for dinner. I added olives to the tomatoes mixture, and it was delicious. This is definitely my new favorite quick easy meal. Yummmmm!!!!
I'm not sure if a bold color would work with the colors of the floor and cabinetry, it looks like you have good lighting so it couldn't hurt to give it a try.
As an alternative to bo...
I have a bottle of lavender essence that I sometimes use like a perfume. Other days I leave the bottle open and it's strong enough to bring a subtle scent to the room that it's in.
I COMPLETELY disagree with getting rid of the cabinet hardware. It's so awesome! I feel like it should be your starting point for the whole renovation. You could paint your stovetop and oven the...

This is wonderful. Makes me homesick!
