Kitchen capers - how to style?

Boy, a lot needs doing in this kitchen. Paint the cupboards white! Line the back of them with shiny paper! Remodel the whole kitchen! Get more modern up-to-the-minute-appliances! Style the shelves! You don't have a dish-washer? Argghhhhh!!!

Thing is, I'm fine with it. It's survivable, people. If you've ever lived in Asia, and seen how others have to live, you'd understand. Your shallow world view is showing.

And I like all my stuff. Having it on show is cool with me. It makes me feel homey and comfortable. So there. Shut up.
