Hi all, got some wild kitchen envy going on so probably a good place to ask for advice...
Looking for some inspiration to give mine a freshen up - don't have the funds to rip everything out & start again so I need to work with what's there, it's a big ol' box on the back of the house, faces south & has lovely 90's Ikea cabinets with those delightful 45 degree angled edges, random compartments for bottles everywhere & those lovely little railings on the shelves.
Can't even remember what colour the walls were when we moved in, but these were promptly painted the shade they are now - tiles were similarly unpleasant so I went over those quickly with tile paint which has stood up pretty well, basically when we moved in, we spent a weekend painting it then put it to the back of the list. Looking back, we should have probably painted the cabinets green & left the walls white but that's where we are now.
I want to get rid of the lowered ceiling & stick some windows in there at some point but that's a job for a later date, need some clever ideas to change it up a bit for now - cabinet doors are actually in pretty good shape & they're solid (the washing machine needs the door mountings adjusted, there's a door to cover it) i've partially sanded & oiled the previously varnished worktops which have come up nicely but it's hard to see where to change things as i'm staring at it every day & have almost become immune to the annoying bits.
