Just bought two 1939 homes! Need rewiring and plumbing and design.

10 years ago

real estate photos I plan to keep the original cabinets, tubs, sinks, doors, tile as possible. Two of the kitchens will need supplemental cabinets and I HATE the fridges sticking out. Where shall I put them?

I will live in the one story. I'll be going for my usual sparkle pretty look in gold/yellow, teal, baby blue. My artwork is similar to this. teal picture and Like this only a little more teal. I've pulled up the flooring and there's beautiful red fir wood underneath. I want to acknowledge the design trends of the '40s but am willing to do some modern stuff in this structure such as marbleish solid surface counters. The other two structures I will keep as original as possible.

My big questions are, given that I'm going to keep the original cabinets, how should I reconfigure the kitchens? One yellow tile is broken in the downstairs smaller kitchen. The counter tile is white mosaic which I want to keep. Should I tear out the yellow and tile farther up the wall? If so, with what? I def have to remove the time from the green tiled bath tub and tile all the way up but with what? I'm thinking of painting the kitchen floor. in the one story. Maybe I will paint the lower cabinets a pale dill. Maybe I'll keep them all white. But what white? and what color floor?

If you have any opinions or ideas (Even, "run!") please chime in!
