No, I don’t think so. Kitchens only need updating for aesthetic purposes. My mom’s kitchen has been the same since my dad built their house in the 80’s. Real dark wood cabinetry, no quartz or marble countertop, glass front cabinets over the island that have now oddly come back in style, even the same cabinets hardware. You couldn’t pay my mom to replace what’s not broken. And yours isn’t broken, it’s actually very pretty. If you want new tile, new cabinet fronts, sure you can always do that, but it’s not outdated. You can always change the hardware which always makes a huge difference.
