I'm wondering whether to update our kitchen before putting the house on the market.
The kitchen is from about 1998, MFI style, full-on deep orange antique pine, ornate mouldings, blue Rangemaster, multicoloured tiles, terracotta floor, cheap speckly laminate worktop. The overall effect is a bit too country-theme-pub.
It's fairly sound and the layout is reasonable but I think it looks so horribly dated it drags the rest of the house down.
I think for about £1k I could paint the units a nice heritage colour, replace the doors with Shaker ones and put on a wood style worktop and at least it would then look light and contemporary if not brand new.
What do you think? Any other ideas? Would wall to wall pine put you off?
