I need your help

I mentioned in the last post about needing your opinion on something so here it is.  

I'm thinking of painting the section of cabinets between the fridge and the corner wall a different color, and putting up some bead board for the "back splash", also changing the counter top to wood, adding some corbels to attach the top and bottom cabinets, and lastly some furniture feet at the floor.  My hope is that it would then look like a custom furniture built-in.  Here is my sad attempt at a drawing of it.

 

This is that section of cabinets.  It goes right up to the fridge on the right hand side, and the very left of the picture is the start of the stove section.

So what do you think?  If you walked into a house as a buyer and saw it, what would you think?  Would you think it was really neat?  Or would it turn you off completely from the house entirely?  I guess I should mention that I haven't decided what color to paint it.  Maybe yellow?  I don't know....  Maybe I could keep the color the same (white) but still add the wood counter top, the bead board, furniture feet, and corbels?


Here is a pic of a corbel incase you are wondering what the crap I am talking about:

So the bottom of the pic would be attached to the bottom of the top cabinets and the top part in the picture would go straight down and end on the counter top.

Also, Ikea has a size of wood counter top that would fit for only $49.99  I think that is pretty amazeballs.

So, what do you think?  Good idea?  Lame attempt?  PLEASE let me know....and give your honest opinion.  I won't hold it against ya ;)
