Ok, this place was built in 1975 - can you tell? I'm scared of that dishwasher!!! I will be buying stainless steel appliances, but, still there are issues. What color should I paint, what about the cabinets. If I can move that stove, I can open up that wall to the living room as a passthru to open up. One nice feature, is the ceilings are flat (not popcorn with white crown molding on them...if you have any suggestions to make this livable on a small budget then any other suggestions for the future once I have some $$....
As for the dimensions, it's 105"x129.5", there is a window on the wall next to the fridge, and the other wall is a partial with the fuse box on it

My parents have this last space to re-do. They have started with updating the refrig and stove, but that's where it stopped. They still have the microwave that came out in the 80's. It needs help!

This room need a lot of work, and a lot of updates. It sure is a foreclosure kitchen all right. All old appliances, old countertops, box lighting, cheap plywood cupboards in a long narrow room. Very enclosed---I wish it would open up to the living room on the other side. And then the other factor is that the laundry is in the kitchen...how can I hide that? I just feel like there is a lot of wasted space in this kitchen!

This is a kitchen & breakfast nook area. Notice the slate under the stove and the chimney butt next to it. I need help and advice as to how to do this space. There are wood floors, wood counters, wood spashs, and wood cabinets. I cannot stand the wood, its too porous and stains too easily. Its also very cramped. The cabinets are georgeous but don't utilize the space. The fridge is in a cubby hole that has open shelves and no storage space. the pantry is huge going from waist high to the ceiling with 4 drawers underneath to the floor. The breakfast nook has built-in benches with storage underneath, but the table overwhelms the space. There are walls on either side of the benches which makes it feel tighter than it is. I bought my stove new when I moved in but the fridge and dishwasher were here and I'm not sure how old they are. A local designer did the stained glass over the back door and over the stove, which usually go un-noticed due to the 12 foot ceilings. I would love to re-do the kitchen but I have no idea where to start. Next to the stove is one of the original chimney's that probably accomodated a pot belly stove since the slate under the stove looks original. It seems someone incorporated the slate into the counters on either side of the stove but there is no room for anything there.

This is a nice cozy kitchen that is the perfect size for me, but it is closed off to the rest of the world. It has just enough cabinet space, but only enough room for a small fridge.

Build in 1971 and I can honestly say the laminate floor covering is the only thing I like in this totally inefficient 12 x 12 out dated and darn right ugly kitchen space. It lacks counter space, functionality and style. I want to knock out the walls leading between the kitchen and dining room to create an open living space which would include a wrap around counter space overlooking the newly remodeled kitchen. I want the new space to extend outside by including in the remodel job an outside entrance leading from the current dining room out to a 20' X 20' deck. I have had this vision in my head since the day I bought the house.

My kitchen is incorporated in the living room so you cannot hide it. It is outdated and so small that when you open the dishwasher only one person fits in the kitchen. We have four boys and love to entertain family, but is near impossible. Our refridgerator is on it's last leg. We have not replaced it because they don't make them that size anymore and we would have to take out some of cabinets. Please help!!
