I took a video of my kitchen so my interior designers (my aunts and mother) could get a better idea of what it looks like. The walls are plaster and there was paint under the wallpaper, but it looks like it was only painted once. We haven't cleaned or done the touch-ups yet, and there is some damage (little cracks, holes from nails). Chris said he can take care of that. The cabinets are flat and smooth to answer your question, Aunt Kathi. They are the original cabinets from '58. They're in good shape, but are very old fashioned. What do I do with a bay window? There's another huge one in the living room. What color paint should I choose? I like sand by Sherman Williams or I would love to try a green color. The linoleum is light (off whitish with a gray-brown marbling pattern) and the counters are white tile. It's pretty new and in good shape (not what I would have chosen, but we're not replacing that yet). We have a lot of eventual plans, but painting the kitchen has moved up to #1 on the list with our recent wallpaper removal hysteria. I have a feeling that's how home projects will progress in this house. We'll get so sick of something that we'll tear it down and spend weeks trying to figure out how to fix it. Crazy house fixing! It's fun though. Thanks for all of your input and help from afar!

I love it! I love the view from your kitchen table and that kitchen is a decent size with a great pantry. Double ovens! I love it! You can totally do magic with that kitchen without spending too much. Jaeson has some ideas for you, and their good. So call him. I think a cute coat of paint on the cabinets and walls would go a long way and be super cheap. I love the counter tops; major bonus in the money department to leave those alone. I would probably replace the lenolium, but that's hard to tell from the video. Good luck.
