[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a 1952 original! I feel you. The cabinets and floor are just cosmetic and annoying, so don’t invest your resources there. You can absolutely DIY those to make it nicer, though - you can replace the knobs, and the peel and stick vinyl flooring can spruce the place up for a year or two.

You clearly need a new oven - that doesn’t sound safe. A new fridge would be next, if it isn’t keeping food cold. Then the dishwasher.

My place has the original cabinets, with flooring put in sometime in the ‘80’s, I believe. We’ve replaced the appliances at least once for each over the 25 years we’ve lived here. You’ve got to do what you’ve got to do. Bray and Scarf has a seconds warehouse where you can get a pretty good deal on appliances, and they are much better than a box box store about installation and hauling away the old one.

Good luck![/quote]

Agree with this poster.

Pay as you go.

Fix leak first.
Replace oven next.
Replace frig next.
Then replace dishwasher.[/quote]

I’m also agreeing with this. Remember if you later have funds for a bigger kitchen overhaul, you can reuse the new appliances you bought. Safety first. [/quote]
