From what I see in the initial pics, I would keep the cabinets white and go with a natural looking stone counter top and flooring. Get a new stainless fridge, and move it down next to the entry door and get rid of that upright. See about getting rid of that masonry chimney, and installing a nice backlit built-in floor to ceiling windowed cabinets that would be your new pantry.
The difference between an outlandishly expensive kitchen, and an affordable one is the materials you use. On a $15,000 budget, you'll need to compromise a bit (Corian countertops rather than marble), and do some of the work yourself, but you can build a damn nice looking room for that money.
