Total Transformation of a 30-year-old Derelict Apartment into a Groovy
Comments (30)Groovy Baby! Love it! I think if you are going to have a strong look like this, you have to go the whole hog to pull it off, otherwise it just looks like a bad take on a 'theme'; you nailed it, very well done!...See MoreTiny kitchen in a studio apartment
Comments (6)Boy, it sure looks like the refrigerator doors open on the wrong side--can you get the developer to swap it out or change the door swing?--must be a mistake. I would find that really annoying, especially in such a small workspace. I really see a movable island parallel to the cabinets in this space with storage underneath and maybe a hanging pot rack with lights and maybe some shelving above, possibly with some stools for casual dining. Do you have room for something like that? A freestanding stainless metal full- or counter-height shelf on casters adjacent to the sink could be really helpful. You could put some simple white dishpans or bins on it as a temporary holding place for dirty dishes while you are cooking, and use the rest for overflow for big pots or pantry items. The L counter with the curved sink might be a little awkward, but sure beats not having some usable counter space. If that is all you are adding, then perhaps a cart with a shelf that flips up for extra prep or dining space would work for you. I would pay the money to get decent lighting. I think I see a thin range hood over the cooktop. If this is European, there should be wiring and a plug for the range hood, so I wouldn't think it would be too expensive to run some wire for lights Doesn't the range hood already have lights. BTW?...See MoreWhat is the one kitchen item you can't live without?

7 years agoI love the idea of painting the soffits above the cabinets the same color as the cabinets so it looks as if your cabinets go all the way up to the ceiling. That way the crown moulding at the top looks like it trims the cabinets.
Country Kitchen - Classic Farmhouse · More InfoIf you didn't like that route, I would at least trim the cabinet tops with at least a small trim:
Traditional Kitchen · More InfoI think your current paint color has a lot of yellow undertones which kind of throw off your finishes. If you had a close up of the countertop and flooring it would help to pick a paint color for you. For now, I would pick either a color (like a muted blue or green) or do a beige with a lot of gray undertones (or a greige as its sometimes called). Or dare to do white, That is all the rage right now, an all white kitchen. (not my personal favorite, but it is pretty).

As far as the backsplash, I think because you have the small lip of granite on the walls, you could do a lot with simple subway tile.
