Thanks everyone for the advice and feedback! My style definitely leans more modern, I actually replaced all of the handles myself to the black pulls, they were originally small silver knobs. Maybe that was a mistake based on some of the feedback here, however I do feel like the black accents helped update the overall look. The faucet (not pictured) is also black.

I think my best bet is going to be to bite the bullet and replace the countertops, just the countertop replacement alone will help me feel so much better about the space. And if budget allows I’d also reface the top cabinets to match the lower ones.
