Transplanting the Heart of the Household

If I had enough money, I would like to improve the kitchen. It is such an important area for the functioning of the household, and the heavy use occurring over the past decade since we moved here has taken its toll, so that there are many parts of the room basically falling apart or at the end of their life-cycle. The drawers are loose, the sink is stained, the cold tap won’t work, the floor has holes in it, and the units all look tired. It would be great to rip the whole lot out and get a bank of shiny new units, with built-in appliances, drawers that swish instead of scrape - and a tap that works! I like bright, wake-me-up colours in the kitchen, so my choice of shade for the units and walls would be sunshine yellow or orange. I'd add light touches like velcro fasteners for the curtains. The tiling would be classy, and worth an extra investment since it lasts for years. I would choose a subtle, slightly glittery effect, no country-cottage effect for me.
