One thing I liked about our home when we bought it was the kitchen/dining/family room are all one BIG room - hard to find in older/less expensive homes. Whitewashed most of the wall cabinets inside & out - inside was an icky creamy color - ugh - white paint made a big difference!
...& a fun change here -
bright red in a couple cabinets where we keep our dishes...

another angle - The TV swivels out/can be viewed
from the kitchen &/or dining room. The counter top doubles
as a nice BIG desk for Strike to do her homeschooling - esp. when she uses DVDs
not thrilled about the trash can (above) therebut it beats under the sink where it gets overshot too often :)
Removed cabinet doors (below)/

The plaque (above) reads:I chose the road less traveled... Now where the heck am I?
& the ducks are a quiet reminder to:
See no evil. Hear no evil. Speak no evil :)

I'm loving it! Never thought about painting the insides of my drawers (or cabinets) ....Great idea!
Ahhh....Homeschoolin'....Good for you! We (I) homeschooled our children for two years....afterwhich they and I became a part of a small private school. Ended up teaching my daughter's 7th, 8th, and 9th grade English classes...AND a high school drama class with her in it:)
Wow! These makeovers are great! You have such great taste, I'd never have thought to paint the insides red, and they look great!
What a neat kitchen!
I love the Pyrex coffee pot - my mom still uses hers every day, and the coffee is mmm, mmm, good.
Ha! funny you should spy that percolator. It does make a delicious cuppa! We had an incredible ice storm here this winter & went w/o power for the major part of 8 days. We got out our camping percolator & I was hooked on perked coffee after that & found this one on e-bay ... it's an oldie but a goodie :)
