All her Target photos are like this... is she like that in real life???

Definitely need to add:
Gene's Deli in Lincoln Square - amazing meat/sausage and euro grocery selections (plus a great roofdeck in the summer)
Revolution Brewery

And whoever said Blommer does not sell retail is wrong! I buy chocolate for fudge there every year, along with tons of other chocolatey treats.

I love how everyone is telling you to just get over it and keep them as-is. Very helpful!

I have no advice for you, but I do support you and your wish to un-yellow your floors. ;)

We just outfitted our new kitchen and basement with TONS of metro-type shelving! We got most of the units at Lowe's (by far the best value of the box stores in Chicago and trust me, we spent a lot of time pricing them out!). Then we ordered accessories from SevilleClassics.com. The shelf liners were WAY cheaper than any other option we could find in store or online. They also had a nice 18x18 option, which worked perfectly for turning two full 48x18 units into one L-shaped option. We also ordered casters from there, again, the best value we found! Shipping prices were painful, but the overall price was still the best we found.

Yeah, those cabinets are heinous. But since you've been given express directions to not futz with them, I would either a) learn to love them (the humanity!) or b) take them down, store them in a closet and enjoy open shelving during your tenancy.

Covering them with contact paper sounds like a huge pain and then what do you do when you go to take it off and you've screwed up the cabinets you were directly told not to screw with?
