Update of 80's country kitchen finally complete!!
Comments (94)I had to read this thread again and your thought process until you figured out with the help of suggestions on how to update your kitchen and keep your quality oak cabinets. The transformation is very nice! I love the changes. This post was edited by lynn2006 on Sun, Jul 13, 14 at 0:39...See MoreHelp updating a Yellowish country kitchen
Comments (23)It is like the owners just walked through a showroom pointing at various items - "I like that, and that, and ooh, that one..." Way too much! That island was mostly for the sake of having a big island, I think, because it doesn't seem to be an efficient working layout for the kitchen overall. Perhaps it could be reoriented so the sink/dw face the rest of the kitchen -- check to see if the PO still has some of the floor tile kept back since the floor would need piecing in. Enough with the critique, sorry. I do agree with the previous suggestions about the lights and changing the backsplash if you can. I also like that green that jhmarie posted. That would be very nice, I think, on the cabinets, or perhaps in a paler shade on the walls. I think the Martha Stewart colors can still be mixed by other retailers (mine was matched in SW even though sold by Home Depot) -- see if you can get a sample of Gull, which is an off white. I think it might work with the floor and cabinets without bringing out the pink too much....See MoreHow can we update this french country kitchen without going broke??
Comments (1)My husband had this house prior to is getting married, I am into more modern styles and loving the all white kitchen look that is popular now. How can we update this kitchen without breaking the bank?? An interior designer in town suggest getting rid of all the ornate details and painting cabinets urbane bronze. I am just afraid I will still be unhappy with the change but we aren’t sure how long we will be in the house so just wanting something to make it more appealing to is now and more resealable in the future....See MoreFront of house help.

Comments (2)I assume by modern you mean more up to date. Not necessarily modern style like sharp corners, colder tones.... I love what you did and I think adding black trim would be amazing. Remove the landscape. You don’t need much by the porch. You need some by the right side of the house and for that I’d do something neat and simple. Two rows of boxwoods? I would for sure update the walkway. Maybe the same whitewash brick in a herringbone pattern. And can’t wait to see the new shutters. This is such an awesome home!! Love it. Love what you did. Looks amazing and will look even better!!...See Moretinker1121
