I need help with this kitchen. The house-- a foreclosure-- was built in 1957, a true MCM. Under that horrible floor is terrazzo; I intend to restore it. The cabinets on the left are in decent shape, and I think I'd like to keep them. The original wall oven didn't work when I got the house but I had it repaired, so I'd like to keep it. cabinets on the right are a different story. The brown cabinets will go, and I'm going to take out the range behind them. WHY a wall oven and a stove---with an oven-- I don't know; it's not that big a house! I'm going to put in a 30" electric cooktop with doors below, and a 24" base cabinet with drawer next to it. There isn't a lot of counter space, so I'm going to add a portable island which can be wheeled in for food prep.

I'd love to restore the house to have as much of a MCM vibe as I can, without breaking the bank. The shabby chandelier will be replaced with a starburst fixture to set the Jetson's vibe.

I need to replace the ceiling fan; it doesn't work, and the countertops will need to be redone. I love the idea of boomerang formica, but I'm starting to wonder if I'd be better off installing granite or perhaps some other premium counter. I'm torn between trying to be authentic and also keep the space modern and appealing.

Aqua/seafoam/turquoise for the walls, blonde terrazzo for the floor and stainless appliances seem to make sense. Should I keep the cabinets white?

Looking for any input and thoughts on this space!
