Here's another kitchen make-over. As the bottom picture is a bit more "colorful", I don't think I could look at that day after day without having some sort of weird "acid flashback" feeling.

I'll go with the first pic. It might be kinda plain, but it meets my needs.

I've seen worse,

I truly have seen worse kitchens, but that person definitely does not cook.

HOLY MACKEREL!!!!  The "before" kitchen was definitely a case of sensory deprivation, but the "after" is loud enough to wake the dead. 

 

It isn't at all my style but I think it's a lot of fun.  I bet the owner of that kitchen throws some wild parties!

It's like a 60's flashback and not in a good way.. no thank you very much

I agree that the Warhol look is too much.

It would have been alot more tasteful if they changed out those drab granite counters, maybe added a colorful backsplash. Some fun door handles/knobs.

Now, you could incorporate the Warhol look maybe with a framed print of say the soup can or coca-cola.

Henry:

If they do have wild parties, I have a feeling their "dealer" doesn't have anything to do with appliances, cars, or anything else like that.

Some paint on the cabinets was all that was needed. Any color, but not two hundred at a time. Yow.

Americans Love Remodeling of Homes

Here in the USA remodeling of homes is common. Whatever you build another will declare it dated, obsolete. If your house is a 1970's ranch home with a lowly 4/12 pitch, a new owner will want a 12/12 pitch and an attic full of 2x4's every 2 feet, so the house looks bigger. One gets bigger looking house and looses attic space! If your solid wood light colored pure pecan kitchen cabinets cost 3000 in 1971, they are dated and thus the new owner will paint them dark or white. The next owner will rip them out. Since everybody has different tastes, this constant remodeling sells products. A neighbor spent right before Katrina 40K on a kitchen upgrade. There designer removed the work triangle, made the sink smaller, but somehow got them to buy 2 refidgerators and 2 freezers. All this got hauled to the curb in 2005 with Katrina; and then they redesigned it again!
