Comments (6)I would start with updated appliances and possibly a focus over stove. The counter tops and splash could be upgraded to a more current material and look.if you are going for a contemporary look glass tiles would look great. It would be helpful to have a plan so you could execute a cohesive look and do it in stages. I would suggest talking to a professional kitchen designer even if it is at a big box store....See More1940's NZ kitchen - small, awkward-ish layout.
Comments (121)I would suggest you take out the cabinet that is to the right of the stove and use it elsewhere in the house -- perhaps in the bathroom or dining room with a hutch above it. Then, I would suggest you have someone install a lazy susan cabinet in the corner between the sink counter and the stove, meaning you would move the stove down a bit and have a small cabinet/counter top to the right of the stove. I would suggest you have the cabinets refinished in white and then paint the walls a pastel you like. If you would prefer white walls, then add white-painted crown molding and paint the ceiling a light neutral blue, such as Sherwin Williams Niagara Falls Blue. Then, I would suggest you choose a favorite accent color and use this sparingly in accessories like towels, pot holders, small vases or floral arrangements, and a valence above the triple windows. For a genuine 1940s look, you might have white ceramic square tiles with a rectangular red border installed as a back splash behind and above the stove. If you are replacing counter tops, I would suggest a light color such as white with a beige or light grey vein or striation for some sort of pattern. You might be able to find the same color and design in floor tile OR opt for a wood floor as another poster suggested....See MoreNeed help for the small kitchen design!
Comments (1)I think the only way you can do that is to swop the positions of the oven/range and the storage drawers. I'm sure it's doable, but there might be practical problems....See MoreNeed help with my kitchen windows
Comments (2)You could use a solar shade. They're easy to wipe down, and if you choose the right openness, you'll have your privacy, too. http://www.selectblinds.com/solarshades/extreme-roller-shades.html http://www.selectblinds.com/solarshades/designer-roller-shades.html Good luck!...See MoreTom O
