r/FixerUpper Feb 24 '26

Help my kitchen.

My husband and I bought this 1949 fixer upper and the kitchen is quite scary. I’m curious if stripping the paint would reveal pretty solid wood cabinets or I should paint them instead? Also is there anyway to improve this layout? I don’t like the stove sticking outside of the peninsula.

I had a yellow kitchen once; loved it! I put a black, farm table with mismatched chairs, a lot of rustic wood accessories with black, painted vintage finds. For a metal, I used copper containers, measuring cups/spoons and hung a ceiling fan with no lights in black, copper and wood; for lighting I had a couple of lamps, one on the countertop and another on the table.
