Here is our very brown kitchen on moving day back in 2008. Our kitchen is actually very large for the size of our house. The cabinets are oak with a heavy wood grain. The counter tops are laminate made to look like butcher block. Oh and there is the lovely trash compactor that needs to go!
The microwave never worked so that has been replaced. The dishwasher is relatively new so that will stay intil it breaks.
The refrigerator is in pretty good shape although the ice maker always jams so i have to stick my hand in there to un-jam it. We will be replacing it with a stainless steel side-by-side. Also the little corner cabinet to the left of the fridge is the center "hub" of our house. We always dump our keys, phones, purse, receipts there. The top cabinet we use as a medicine cabinet.
Our range is decent but I can't stand the electric coils cooktop. We will be replacing this with a glass top electric range in black and stainless. One thing i love about this area is the hood. It is vented with white lights and also has some red heat lamps. Those metal grates fold down for a little rack to keep your food warm under the red lights. Almost like my own little restaurant! That backsplash is super ugly. I'm thinking white subway tile.
This is a little planning desk type area to the right of the stove. I like this area because there is a huge drawer and cabinet underneath. The only weird thing are the two long cabinet doors that actually flip down. I'm not really sure what they were intended for but I keep my recipe binder and some cooking magazines in there.
I'm really looking forward to painting the cabinets white and putting in new countertops and backsplash. Stay tuned for my inspiration photos.
