I hate my kitchen...we have done lots of updates. For example, there was a hideous orange and brown tile backspash (circa 1970) all around the kitchen and that is now gone, replaced by crisp paint and some hand painted fleur de lis. Simple but a nice touch. We have also removed the three different types of countertops (butcher block, white formica and some horrible brown formica) and replaced them with an upgraded granite looking material. We removed the fluorescent bulbs and the 1970's shades and replaced them with can lights. But we still have those oak cabinets - they are in good condition but they are oak.
We had an odd shelf at the end of one of the cabinets, in a walkway. The shelves were maybe 4" deep - so they weren't functional, and they started about 4 1/2 feet off the ground and went to the ceiling. So I got a brilliant idea and converted that space to a magnetic blackboard. I love it! It changes the whole kitchen.
