I would get rid of the pink curtains in favor of some burgundy hunter green plaid like mine, :)No, really, I'm behind Carrie on this, especially the darker stain, might see what thick smoke glass shelves look like with the wood sides, change the hardware.Don't mess with those beams, they look good IMO.I wouldn't paint paneling, there is a thick paintable textured wall paper to use over paneling and then paint it.

Some of the earlier properties used vinyl in the bathrooms and a couple used laminate in the kitchen (a no-no, yes) as @Aaron R. pointed out, ha.I used a variety of laminate throughout this thread but used the HomeDepot TrafficMaster the most as it was very affordable, looked fantastic, holds up well and had free shipping.  80cents/sq ft (with free shipping) if you buy the pallet...and any overages you can just return yourself to HomeDepot....hard to beat that.https://www.homedepot.com/p/TrafficMASTER-Russet-Hickory-7-mm-Thick-x-7-2-3-in-Wide-x-50-5-8-in-Length-Laminate-Flooring-1063-48-sq-ft-pallet-45109P/303330739

Consider helping the tenants vacate quicker by providing 3mil thick bags and/or cardboard boxes to collect their stuff and haul it out.

I don't think the thickness of the door should be an issue, but something to double check.
