Any advice to warm up this slightly dated kitchen would be great. We are already removing light fixture and adding can lights. We don't like the paint color. We don't have budget to renovate cabinets or counters.

remove the gingerbread over the sink.

you're probably going to have to repaint the cabinetry, because the door pull has to be moved (and replaced with updated pulls). I would also replace the backsplash ... that doesn't have to be expensive (actually, it was the first DIY project that my husband and I took on when first married).

glad to hear you're changing the paint color ... it's not doing you any favors.

if you could change the tile floor as well, that would be great ... it is definately dating the room.

Is there room to add a small island or chopping block in the center of the room?

I think adding a rug would help. Agree about removing the wavy valance and changing the pulls in the center of the cabinets - I think the knobs are ok if you can match them.

Need advice about less ugly flooring option--French rental apartment

I see your point, It does look ugly :) Since its a rental apartment, do you have the authorization to remove it ? Because unfortunately, you can't put down vinyle over lino, it will not work (and its not because of the uneven floor). You can remove the lino and put another one, less ugly. It can be nice actually :) http://designmag.fr/design-dinterieur/lino-sol.html You are speaking about sticker, its quite cheap, why not trying and see if it fits with an uneven floor ? Although Im not sure that it will look pretty. Last solution, you can paint the lino, it will not last forever but it could be nice. Ask for expert advice to by the appropriate painting pots.

Hi Sara, Did you find already what you’re looking for? I know several brands who provide what you want but it depends on your budget because to have the finishes and quality you want I am afraid the prices are in conséquence. For more info you can contact me privately. Cheers Laura

Unfortunately no room for butcher block. We could replace backsplash with a neutral subway tile, but then what color would look good for paint on cabinets and walls? Replacing floors are a bit more than we can do right now. Totally agree about the pulls.

I think the cabinet color is fine if you like white - do you know what kind of paint is on them? Just wondering if you can get away with touching up as opposed to repainting.

I would spackle in those ornate grooved medallions in the cab doors as that (along with scalloped trim over sink) is very dated and also forces central pull placement, which you don't want. Then paint cabs of course...

Hi klholland04,

Adding Woven Wood Shades above your sink will give the room some layered texture.

Here are the different colors available : http://www.3dayblinds.com/window-treatments/shades/woven-wood

Happy Decorating,

I like soberg's idea. I'm wondering though if you have enough room to add a very wide trim piece on all 4 sides to cover the grooved medallions. It would be a bit of a shaker look. The pic below is what's I'm thinking of. You'd only have to spackle where the center pull is right now.

I'd also repaint using more of a creamy white. The current white seems very stark against the color of the floor.

Most of what is dating this kitchen is the hardware on the cabinet door.... you need to get them out of the center, move them to the edges. I would take the beige backsplash out, add a nice bright color in a small tile splash and pick that color for the soffit above the cabinets, pick a nice area rug with a little of that same color and then do some accents in an off color. The other problem I am seeing is that you have stainless steel appliances with these warm color tile backsplash and the green on the soffit just isn't working with the two. If you can swing it some under cabinet lighting will brighten this kitchen up.

PS.... You can just change the doors on the cabinets Shaker door run about $25.00 each!

If you can't change the floor then work with it not against it. Repaint the cabinets an off-white to complement the floor. This kitchen looks nice with a splash of apple green. Remove the door handles to the upper left/right corners and fill the holes left behind before painting. I agree with removing the valance over the sink but the window is untrimmed so removing it will make the window look rather stark. It would look better trimmed out and painted the same color as the cabinets. If possible, go with a stainless undermount sink and roman shades with apple green in them. Also, replace the black hinges to match the knobs/handles or paint them to match the cabinets and make them recede into the background. Matching the backsplash to the color of the cabinets (as in the picture) will make this small kitchen look and feel larger.

All of is is great, thanks for the feedback folks! I'm hoping we can change up the cabinet color, since I'm not too keen on stark white. Valences for sure will go. Unfortunately, that "skylight" is actually a bright fluorescent that hums loudly when on, so we are getting rid of it and putting in cans. :). On the other side of the kitchen is an eating nook, and that bright green is just awful. Just not sure what color to paint the walls or cabinets if we do that.

IMO find a color for the cabinets that works with the floor first. You'll probably see a lot more possibilities for the walls once the cabinets and floor work better together.'

Once your lighting is changed all your colors are going to look different ;-)
