Hi everyone. We have a solid wood kitchen which has been in place for 35+ years. The units are in a fair condition however they are old fashioned and the tiles (tiled floor to ceiling) are dreadful and we have a wooden ceiling so very very dark. Ideally we would put in a new kitchen but to do it right (we intend to live here the rest of our lives) would cost £25-30k and we are at a point where we would have to take a loan to pay for it. I have suggested that as a temporary measure to last maybe 5 or so years and to give us the chance to save we paint it, change handles and replace worktop with a relatively cheap spec just to freshen place up and make it livable. Hubby is not keen. Can anyone offer any advice or stories of painting units, how successful it was or not and any advice. Thank you!
