kitchen part II

Finally brought some chairs for the kitchen from Freedom, their Mess Hall chair. The chairs look like the emeco's navy chair. I am not sure if you would call the chair a replica of the emeco's navy chair as it not quite the same. Is a replica exactly the same or slightly different? The kids now love sitting in the kitchen & being able to reach for everything that is being prepared for them to eat.

On another subject, our old house in Brisbane has a Tasmanian Oak kitchen which I don't really love & I don't really dislike either. The kitchen is properly about 15years old. Just supposedly, should I paint it or leave it? Would you paint a Tasmanian oak kitchen? And if yes what colour?

The kitchen is a mix & match [*hopefully not too much of a mismatch] 

The run down on the kitchen is:

The drawers use the blum pull-out systems. Some of the cupboards are pullouts for oils, herbs & oven trays.

The pantry has blum pull-out drawers.

The counter tops are essastone & stainless steel.

The cupboards are laminex in 3 different colourways.

Floors are polished pine.

The appliances are a mix of Miele [steamer, oven & warming draw], Bosch [dishwasher], Highland [rangehood], & Siemens [cooktop].

 

On my wish list when our +10year old refrigerator expires, which I don’t think will be any time soon as it is extremely robust, a Smeg retro refrigerator

 

But in what colour?
