I love a light-filled kitchen, but sometimes you've got to work with what you've got.

My vote is to keep the cabinets dark brown. They are very contemporary and will look really sleek if dressed up properly.

If this was my kitchen, I would lighten things up by simply changing out the upper cabinet doors with frosted glass fronts. (If you really can't stand them, just paint the upper cabinets a high gloss white and leave the lower one's brown Pick a neutral colored countertop - preferably white marble or concrete. And last but not least, definitely switch to stainless steel or black appliances. Leave the walls white and invest in good lighting.

There will be more contrast and a lot more shiny surfaces for the light to bounce around.

Great job, but I wish people would stop putting Buddha heads everywhere. It's actually sacrilege to put Buddha on the ground.
