What would you do with this kitchen?

[Brent Paul]

The layout is a little goofy and not a lot of light.  I think it needs a window put in and things rearranged.  Penny for your thoughts?

Try this...   I would agree with a microwave combo for above the range.  A window could be nice, but it would most likely require moving the sink (and associated plumbing) to the exterior wall which may be a lot more work than you want.   If you want light in the kitchen you could do windows that are between the upper and lower cabinets, this is a nice touch but in my opinion is too much for a rental, and also leans toward a more modern look that doesn't appear to match the rest of the house.
