Piece of cake: The only thing I would spend money on would be the floor and buy a stainless fridge to match stove. I despise upper cabinets in a kitchen, especially a small one.
1) take down wall cabinets - move large one over sink onto opposite wall but install low under the counter that is already there. Re-place counter top over it with stainless.
2)Take down the other awkward cabinet over fridge.
3) put long shelves up over sink, 3-4 high
4) install a square pot rack over stove
5) paint the walls a great color and install a cool hanging light fixture/chandelier

From Budget to Blowout: Imagining 3 Renovation Scenarios For a Tiny Kitchen The New York Times

I love thee old school pink but it's definitely not for everyone. If you really hate it I would say it would have to be a gut re-do. However, if you don't have the funds or time for that right now I would say play it up rather than try to 'cover it up'. I would keep the tile (dont try to paint-it will not look right!), paint the walls above the tile high gloss black or get a great black/foil wallpaper and update the fixtures. I would not change the toilet or sink to keep the look cohesive. I would change the floor too (or paint it.) Not sure what the rest of your house looks like but I think it could look very cool, art deco, glam, old hollywood. Done right, very chic & stylish! Have fun with it! Good luck!
