    I just bought a house myself. Congrats.

    A few things you should do.

    Hopefully before buying you had a house inspector come though. Your agent should have set one up.

    To keep your resale up in the future, you may want to keep the old look. The moulding, bathroom, and fireplace are ace.

    I'd keep the green wood drawers, remove the green paint from them, maybe stain the wood, and put on new brass handles.

    In the kitchen, I think some new cabinets are in order. at the very least new faces.

    You might want to spring for some new appliances too. Keep the old style. Some manufacturers make new appliances with the old look.

    Main thing, prioritize your upgrades and updates. Main stuff first. Def check the wiring and get that updated asap. The minor stuff like refacing, reflooring (if needed) and remodeling can come later. First things first make the house safe.

    Good luck!
