    • HELP! What should I do?, Hi everyone - We're closing on a home in June (Yeay!) and the kitchen isn't totally "awful" per se, but its not great. We don't have the funds for a total redo but I definitely want to do something to make it better. But how??

We were going to paint cabinets a dark cherry color and take down the wall between kitchen and dining room. I can't replace the counter top so I thought a brown and green theme but have to happen. Should I create an island in the middle or pushed against the wall?, Kitchens Design
