Worlds best or Swheat scoop works the best for us (little to no odor for a long time), and a top entry box is AMAZ-ING. I have no idea why I didn't get one sooner. Almost no problems with tracking liter. Since our box is in a hall closet, and hidden, we put a large mat underneath to catch any extra. Because we have a young toddler, I put in a gate just on the inside of the door frame. Not only does it keep our little one out it does a decent job at keep the box eyesore to a minimum when the door is standing wide open.

We had a similar problem. We were on the top floor and had two levels. Anytime we would just walk, sometimes just even to the bathroom at night (not stomp, not run, not jump) on the first level (old vintage hardwoods), we would get a complaint or pounding on the floor. It was really frustrating. We put rugs and pads down, we were always a shoes off household, but our daughters room was impossible to avoid making noise when we tiptoed in and out. We ultimately ended up moving because our landlord's solution was not to walk around at all after 9:30.

I would leave the face, why ruin a collectors antique? It could be worth a lot more someday.

I also too disagree about getting rid of books!

WOw, I know its dated, but its actually really well tied together color wise. You're pretty fortunate. A lot of kitchens are just a mishmash. The teal and the brown are throughout. The colors and the texture of the tiles kind of remind me of a Southwest palette. If you don't mind being funky, I'd just go all in and make it a statement.
