Please provide more images of the room and flooring. Not a lot to go by from this picture.

Turn the dang lights on please. load the photos right side UP, and several of them different angles. Come ON........you can do better than that one! You think you're confused? : ) Even our crystal balls won't work.

Flipping???

Paint the cabinets one color and get rid of the scalloping around the ceiling. More photos please.

Are you getting new cabinets? Can you share a picture of the kitchen showing the floor?

I think I finally convinced the photo to turn around. Not flipping the house this is my 1924 800 sq. ft home.

I need new floor too. It needs to be pet proof

Cabinets will stay. New floor, new paint, new counter tops and back splash, new lighting

Thank you so much for your suggestion but I don't think that is a possibility. I just can't afford new cabinets. These are very strong.

I agree, that a new marble-look stone counter may be too heavy for those cabinets or make them look older. Maybe a nice new laminate counter and the subway tiles you had already planned. Do the cabinets NEED to be painted or more touched up? And new hardware may give a refresh on a budget. Are you doing tiles or vinyl or slate or... ? for the floors?

Thank you for your suggestions. The rest of the house has 90+ year oak flooring so there is no way to match it. At first I thought that "waterproof" laminate flooring that looks like wood but in the grey tones. But last night I looked on line at Marmoleum and they have a grey marbelized look. Good for pets, good for the ecology.

By laminate counters do you mean like formica?

My original question was should the cabinets be all white or grey on bottom and white on top? What do you think? You have the kindest words - thank you

I would keep the cabinets all white. Like others suggested I would only replace with new formica marble tops, real marble would be a waste of money on these cabinets.

I would probably install a click LVT or sheet vinyl until you can afford to replace everything. When the cabinets see their last day (it isn't far off) everything else has to be removed and replaced.

Even just getting Ikea cabinets and using the marble counter top budget would be a more worthwhile long term investment.

Thanks...I am old and there won't be another remodel in my future. This is it. Want it to be as nice as possible

Maybe tile again on the counters? The cabinets are totally strong. Probably stronger than anything you would see today.

I prefer laminate to tile. Laminate now a days is 3D printed and honestly quite nice. It will be much easier to clean than a tile top.

The cabinets may be strong but the drawers, guides and hardware will eventually give out. There is also many benefits to storage capacity of new cabinets, not just looks. If you are in this house to stay than go for it. But from a remodel standpoint it is pointless to remodel a kitchen with bad cabinets as EVERYTHING has to be replaced if they need redone.

Definitely all white for that space.

Dont get any flooring that looks like fake wood if it will abut the real wood in adjacent woods -- looks terrible in that situation. Marmoleum could be nice, as could tile. Old wood is remarkably easy to match as well, if you'd really prefer that, but since you can't run it under the cabinets, it might be awkward to use.

Pick the flooring a bit in combination with your backsplash. If you're putting a nice pale gray backsplash with the marble-look counters (nice for bringing out the veining), then a flooring with a coordinating grayish tone would work best, whether tile or any other material. If you want to go white tile with your backsplash, then you're a bit more open whether you stick with the grays or go for something in a more tannish tone.

If you're repainting all the cabinets, you should at least consider whether you'd like bigger pulls in place of the tiny knobs -- could move the location a bit closer to the bottom corner (since you can fill the old holes and drill new ones before painting) or just find something chunkier to balance the cup pulls on the lowers. Lots of hardward in black these days...

Wow! That's a big help. Thank you so very much!

It should work. Let the counter top installer tell you if your cabinets are strong enough to support the stone tops. I have a feeling your current tops are contributing to the strength of your cabinets, so aside from cutting out the sink, I might consider going over your existing tops. See what the countertop guy says.

I like this white and gray combination. The tops are quartz for easy care.

I would select a larger porcelain tile for the floor like 24" x 24" or 18x24

to minimize the grout lines.

marble is just going to look weird no?
