Actually guys.... the two kitchens, as horrible as they appear to be would be a couple of the easiest fixes. Or at least the cheapest with a fair bit of elbow grease. The really TOUGH jobs are the bathrooms that are done all in that totally obnoxious tile.

1 Horsebarn kitchen. Ok firstly there needs to be a WALL built between the barn and the kitchen. Fortunately interior walls are pretty simple stuff.

All that green wood on the ceiling and back splashes needs to be stripped down and stained / varnished a much lighter colour. Either a natural light pine, OR a slightly off white, giving a Victorian panel type finish. Cupboard doors stipped and lightened up. If one goes with the antique white panelling look, I'd cut out the centres and fill em with etched or frosted glass.

Similarly with the other kitchen the only REAL problem is the connection between the kitchen and the garage. Time for another interior wall here. And a fresh choice of colours. Tone down the white a notch, get rid of the obnoxious green. Maybe go with all white and add a cobalt accent with a tiled countertop (NO NO NOT THE WHOLE ROOM!!), and some terracotta floor tiles.... a touch of yellow here and there, and it could have a very nice mediterranian feel.

Really the only BIG problem with these rooms is their inappropriate connection to another function, and thier appalling colour schemes. These are easily fixed. No major fixtures to be replaced.
