Comments (2)Our Southern California home was built in 1980. We waited 27 years to do our kitchen remodel. - We opted to leave the soffit because of cost but improved the look and feel of the lighting. - Replaced the slide-in range/microwave with a cooktop and OTR microwave. Lengthened and deepened the peninsula. - Replaced oak cabinets with cherrywood frameless cabs and added a cab with glass to the end of the run. - Replaced 4"x4" tile countertops with Impala Black granite. - Replaced the tile floors with Chilian Cherry wood. - Replaced 4" high tile backsplash with Fire & Ice quartz brick. - Bumped out the cupboard over the fridge and added a side panel to the fridge. - Closed up a useless little window. - Added pendant lighting over peninsula.

Comments (14)Those cabinets might be from the 90's, but they give an awesome 70's vibe and I'm personally INTO IT. Love the idea to paint the walls a creamy shade - I'd also suggest leaning into the 1970's feel by replacing the blinds with a woven window shade. I'd also potentially look at removing the texture/pattern from your ceilings, as it's probably adding to the "enclosed" feeling in the room. Personally I wouldn't change the hinges or pulls - I think the ones you have add character (and there's definitely no rule to coordinate appliances and hardware). But it's your kitchen so do you....See MoreWhat would you do? 90’s Oak Wall unit
Comments (18)Looks like a great view! I'd come up with a comprehensive plan for the floors, the lighting and ceiling, then decide what to do with the cabinets. Also, what's your furniture placement? That may help dictate if you keep or tear the cabinets out. I think you can work with them, possibly painted, if furniture placement allows. Looks like good storage and maybe a fun bar!...See MoreWhat should guide design style with a generic 1990s suburban brick hom
Comments (33)Because your house is traditional, you may want to do something has a little more detail than a full shaker door, which is currently being used in almost every contemporary kitchen as well. It doesn't have to be much This is inset and has a paneled drawer, which you don't necessarily have to do, but the door has an extra detail which differentiates it a bit from the standard shaker...See Moreck_squared
