I predict recycled wood walls will look dated in a very short time. Light fixtures with exposed bulbs will seem harsh. But I hope the trend of ripping out everything in an effort to be up to date will go out of fashion. It's wasteful. I love great design, but I think we need to pull back a bit.

I love the yellow wall too- can you share a little how you did it?

I admire grampa's resourcefulness. On the other hand, it would have been sweet to notice that he needed help taking care of himself.

Think of those great existing cabinets as a color. That rich orange tone doesn't work for me with the red walls- dark and jarring. A soft sage would work well with the cabinets and floor, at least based on the photo. Buy a quart of something you like and try it out, or a tester.
