Kitchen?

So the kind of kitchen I actually like is an old looking one. The new style is to have the dark cabinets and they're very attractive, but I tell you... they're going to look uber-dated in a couple decades. And I'm not the rip-out-and-re-do type. I want to get a home for life, and I'm not going to constantly remodel it. Worse would be 80s style cabinets. Bleh! I didn't even like them in 80s.

I feel like these Sexy Dark Cabinet Kitchens will...

...one day look like this (to my 2030s eyes.) And no amount of Mad Men fashion will make me love these.

Old cabinets come with old homes, which Fernando doesn't want. But maybe I'd be willing to rip out 80's cabinets and install old second-hand kitchen cabinets. I assume that's a possibility, if I could be bothered.

Look what these fools did! They had great 1960s cabinets, even a silly trim on top! Out. I would happily repaint & jollify such cabinets.

I also like jolly colours in the kitchen.

I think the kitchen of the old summer cabin we went to when I was a child had yellow cabinets or something, and this imprinted on me, which is why I have a bright yellow kitchen curtain (but GRAY cabinets. Super yuck.) And I do love my red chairs. We had old brown wood chairs, so I took off the seat, painted them in red lacquer, and reupholstered the seats with a 1930s style pattern. The only furniture in my home that I love.
Alright, now let's check out some kitchens from the Nanaimo listings I looked at today (in the 150 000 - 350 000 range.)

Mid 80s cabinets. Ohhh meesa hates!

That's better.

Woah! A bit modern for me, but punchy!

Hm I like how these counters go on forever. Good exercise.

No. ...No. ...It would have to be the most superbly perfecto amazing
home before I'd settle for this size. Okay yes, there's some counter space but, like... how do you even bend over and open a cabinet??

This is nice. Quite weird.

Boring, but alright.

An example of the current style.
