Well after fixing up & restoring an old 50s home (The Atomic Tiki Lounge)
I can offer some tips, don't be afraid to buy vintage furniture that
is not in the best shape & restore it yourself, if you don't mind the work, you can save a ton of money

you can easily refinish cabinet doors & by replacing the handles & door pulls with new modern hardware
can make a big difference for just a little work & money.

Don't go cheap on counters, they will get scratched up in no time.

You can see what I have done here:
