What would you do with this kitchen? 1990s Golden Oak
Comments (45)I've been lurking these forums for some time. The kitchen by julieboulangerie is almost identical to my own. My layout is adequate for my smaller space and the cabinets function fine. I hate my countertop, sink and stove so plan on an upgrade there. I have a hard time ripping out perfectly good cabinets simply because I don't like the style, even though they are 15 years old. I had decided on granite (a black pearl) until I read these last few posts about laminate. Now I wonder if I should just settle for a nice laminate, new stainless sink (apron?) and range since the cabinets are dated?? Or should I choose granite now and paint the cabinets if we want a new look later? Can a wood/butcher block counter (would have to paint cabinets now) be re-used on new cabinets later? My quandary is about "settling", resale value (no immediate plans to sell), and knowing a total redo is long in coming, especially if we partially upgrade now. We have a lot of home improvement dreams so would like to stretch every dollar! I hope this is not simply repeating others' questions, but I guess I'm just looking for some clarity of thought from those with a lot of experience. I've never done this before and feel it's an enormous decision!...See MoreIf you've redone a 1980s/1990s kitchen please share!
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 (35)The granite is Typhoon Bordeaux Backsplash is a Carena mosaic tumbled tile in a midi brick pattern. I was told that its been discontinued. The tile stores shorted me and was closed for the holidays so I looked everywhere for more and had no luck, I had to wait for the store to reopen so the installer could finish the backsplash. The painter was expensive. I'm still waiting for an invoice but it was in the $3500-$400 range after taxes. I couldn't convince my husband to rip out the cabinets so this was the next best thing. In the end, I'm very happy with the results. I made it just under my $10,000 budget and it feels like a new room. That said, I'll think twice before renovating again. Everything that could have gone wrong, went wrong....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 More- 7 years ago
