The cabinets are pickled oak. They are really outdated and no longer in style. I would be thrilled to have new cabinets that coordinate with antiques and granite countertops instead of Formica countertops. Since I have stainless appliances, I would love to have stainless steel tiles behind the glass-topped stove. The cabinets were installed in 1994 and have lost a lot of their finish. Despite the contest stating it is for bathrooms and laundry rooms, I am posting this since other people have also posted that they need help with their outdated kitchens.

If the contest is limited to laundry rooms, mine is in the basement and I would love to have the basement area remodeled since the builder never finished the basement and the essentials for putting in a bathroom down there are already in place.

I have noticed that other people have posted comments about needing to have the exterior of their homes updated. The exterior is Masonite and really needs to be re-done with a better product; the deck also needs to be replaced.

One of my favorite places to shop is Lowe's since the people there are very friendly and helpful; in fact, my last purchase from my local Lowe's were an energy-efficient washing machine and an energy-efficient dryer, both of which I love!!!
