Hi everyone!

I’m hoping to get some ideas for our kitchen remodel. It’s currently quite dated so we want to modernise it - just not sure where to start.
Should we rip up the tiles and go for a wooden floor?
Should we take down the units on the right hand side so the window isn’t boxed in?
Should we turn the seating area 90 degrees or remove it completely?

Open to all advice!

The kitchen sink is cemented to granite stone and I have a small elevation behind the sink that separates the living area . I asked for advice from an installer. He said he could cut the sink out of the granite and drop in a new sink.. when I look at sinks online, there’s is a back edge to the sink that would possibly have no place to drop on. I am concerned the installer didn’t think through it. Another contractor said he would replace the entire granite and make it flat . I have a sink issue ( the faucet is cemented to the sink) but now I think I may be getting wrong advice or very expensive makeover advice. Can anyone advise of what my options are?

I have a this kitchen drawer that’s stuck and I can’t get it open, something is blocking it. It only opens a little bit and is hard to see into with a flashlight. I can’t take the front off because of it being so close to the wall on the one side. Normally I wouldn’t care too much but I’m moving and need for it to open. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! I’m so frustrated
Thanks

Hey all. We're in the process of moving into our new home, and the shelves in our kitchen cabinets have an awkward situation going on.

I noticed that each shelf had a single screw in one of the four pins that was holding them up. I wasn't sure what the purpose was, so I unscrewed one to get a better idea of what was going on. When I took it out, the shelf moved freely, but I realized that I could pull it forward enough so that the back was no longer supported by the pin and the entire shelf fell out. This could be pretty disastrous when the shelves are fully loaded.

So...I guess I figured out what the screw was for.

It seems like all of the cabinet shelves are about an inch too short, so the previous owners needed to find a way to lock them into the cabinets.

The problem is that this seems like a pretty sloppy solution, and we'd love to fix these to be a little more clean, reliable, and sturdy. Another issue is that the shelves are made of particle board, as you can see in one of the images where the face is literally chipping, so I don't love the idea of screwing anything else into them.

What are the best ways to remedy this? Is there a better type of pin that can support the shelves? Should we just build better/deeper shelves, or have them built? I think we're looking at about 14 or so shelves throughout the entire kitchen.

Any insight would be much appreciated!

I just moved into my first college apartment and i love it... but just not this layout of this kitchen. I was thinking of adding a portable island in the corner near the fridge and maybe a small table next to the stove, but im just not sure what else to add. we don't have a lot of storage (there are 4 of us in total) so im curious to see what other ways we can add more shelve space.

The main concern for us is adding more counter space and storage. We are also on a budget (cuz we are college students lol) so pls keep the recommendations at a reasonable price point🙏 AND we want to keep the space looking cute hehe

It's looking like I need to get rid of that extra inch of this circled portion, to fit the fridge I'm looking to get!

Can I switch out the top for something narrow as a counter top cover? Should I just take out or redo the little counter space to make the room I need?

Any help, suggestions, or recommendations are appreciated, thank you!!!

I’m no kind of decorator but the very plain look drives me crazy. It’s an old apartment size stove that works well so I don’t want to replace. Any ideas?

Thinking about doing a complete kitchen gut and remodel. Curious if these 1950’s cabinets have any resale value and if so, how to find a buyer. Otherwise I will scrap them.

There are the following:

- 30 hanging cabinet doors
- 18 floating floor doors
- 11 drawers
- 1 sink

Excuse the mess, just got back from a long trip..

I don't really need a microwave but don't want to leave this spot empty either.
