Aside from a good cleaning, I think painting is your best option. I’ve seen some great work folks have done, but it is an involved job…prep work, small space, etc.
I think the idea to look for new curtain material is great. Probably one of the less expensive modifications that have a real nice impact.
You could also consider solid surface countertops. I swapped out the laminate surfaces with Corian (our kitchen counter had Corian from the factory) and it made a big difference. I did it myself. It wasn’t as difficult as expected and gave me an excuse to learn how to use a router.
