I have decided to update my kitchen. It's about 30 years old, small and in dark oak MFI Hygena. I don't have adequate storage space and some of the base units (2 of the 3) are falling apart, so I think it's time.
The entire kitchen is tiled in horrible 80's tiles which I cannot afford to replace.
I have a 30+ year old traditional eye level (grill) cooker which is dated, but that I love cooking on, so would like to keep.
I have decided to get a gloss white Ikea kitchen with wood worktops and a white ceramic double sink unit without drainer.
I'm a bit stuck with the walls. I thought maybe I could put wall panels around the worktop areas, but I don't know about the rest. I could paint all the tiles white instead, but I'm not sure that will look any good.
Also thought about using old recipe books to cover the remainder of the tiles ~ you know, paste them on at jaunty angles, overlapping etc, a bit like some people paste music sheets on music room walls...or is that really naff?
Any ideas please?
