Ideas for another 1970's kitchen

[Seventies]

Hi Everyone

We would appreciate any ideas you might have for renovating this 1970's kitchen.

Budget is limited so anything significantly structural is not achievable, but are looking at replacing the cupboards, sink and splashback if needed.

House plan is attached and some rough measurements are indicated on the plan.

We have an existing oven that is 1000mm wide that we plan to incorporate into the kitchen and have a fridge freezer width of 910mm that will not currently fit into the 860mm space.

The window in the meals area is 580mm from floor level so we can't utilise the space in here without replacing a window and bricking up the space. The existing fridge space of 860mm and pantry space of 1700mm are bricked in.

Looking for ideas that might re-configure the existing space and fit both the oven and fridge into the area. 

Any thoughts are most appreciated.

Thank you

Many thanks @redracer01 for the ideas and the huge effort.

The kitchen looks great!

The increased size of the benchtop is a great idea and one we were thinking of incorporating and thanks for the suggestion of the additional cabinet in the corner to access from the other side.  We hadn't yet planned that idea in and Storage is always an issue!

Appreciate your thoughts and time.

Personally. start with the tiles and cook top.If the carcasses are good, utilise them as much as you can , if you wish to add, go to a cabinet maker with your plans and get them made in flat pack. Don't touch kaboodle or chinese board, total garbage.Get quality fittings. If you want push to open or soft close, get Blum only. cabinet maker can pre drill on a CNC machine. Change the checkered grill on the windows for perforated mesh, not hard to change for the diyér. If you have abn, hit the likes of wilson and bradley , nover or titus tekform and see what they have.
