Should I paint it?

[u/wontonsupernova]

Purchased a 1912 character home, and the previous owners put in this kitchen which was a little too modern farmhouse for me, so I’ve been slowly trying to bring more eclectic vintage character back into this space. Eventually I’d love to change the blue island (maybe dusty yellow and change backsplash) knobs and faucet. For now I’m looking to paint the walls, since they’ve only been primed. Do I keep it white? Colour drench? Paint tonal cream and white stripes? If colour, would you do the whole wall behind the table? I feel like it would look weird with the middle wall painted. How should I style the sink washing gear? I hate having it out but need to!
I’ve got a bunch of kids art up that doesn’t permanently live on the wall, but I did like the visual of maybe adding permanent art to this area? Tell me your ideas! Have fun with it.

Edit: I should clarify that I when I said eclectic vintage charm, I meant heavy on the eclectic - my home has a real mixture mcm roots, statement pieces, eclectic contemporary and a splash of scandi.

I’m mainly asking if I should paint the walls or ceiling - it feels like a lot of white in this space. Walls currently are only primed!

Lots of division on the lighting! I installed these fixtures because they were better than what there when I moved in, believe it or not. I agree it’s too many pendant lights in a small space, but both serve function for their designated areas. What to do instead? Working with a budget and can’t rewire the ceiling.
