The kitchen has gone through some fairly significant changes since we bought the house. We made quick work of the 70's paneling on the walls by replacing it with an inexpensive wainscoating. We added new chair rail with some nice detail to cap off the wianscoating, which allowed for imperfect cuts to be hidden.
We removed all the cabinet doors, added some trim around the edges of them, and primed/painted for a new look. The hardware was also replaced, and a section of cabinet was removed to make room for the installation of a dishwasher, because we all know that I'm not washing any dishes.
The existing dark, retro ceiling light was replaced with a nice new ceiling fan/light combo. The walls were given a fresh coat of paint, and a small LCD TV was mounted on one of the walls. A power supply and cable supply still need to be added, but at this point that is more of a luxury than necessity.
We still need to replace the countertop, for which we bought some nice discounted granite tile, and install some new flooring. I think for the time being, we will be using a dark laminate wood floor. It certainly won't match the rest of the house, but with the colors we used it should look pretty nice.
