I'm in the same boat. One thing we are going to do (it will take little cash, but as yet, we don't have it) we are going to sand the cabinets with a liquid sander then repaint them. That, alone will make a huge difference. We are also going to peel the wallpaper and repaing that area. The cost is just paint and sander.
Maybe, at like good will or something, you could find a big throw rug....that could change the look of your kitchen floor.
I have hear that a good treatment for "natural" looking cabinets is a treatment of olive oil. Applied with a rag and rubbed in to condition it.
Eventually we will redo our kitchen as well. It has the original avacado green laminate countertops! How about painting your cabinets and just replacing the flooring? Or removing your cabinet doors to create an open feel? Pictures would help.
I am a Christian conservative...mostly. Not the Christian part, the conservative part. Mostly I am on that side of the fence, but on some issues I sit on the fence and on others, I jump to the other side...with gusto!
I thought I would forever be the mother of one. Then God said, "You have a daughter in China. Go get her." and that we did!
