(EDIT - please ignore some of the colors, they do not mean what they may appear.

I would also paint the kitchen walls in a neutral color and paint the wood paneling white. 

The house was built in 1938, it's a craftsman style home, original hardwood flooring in good shape, original windows but it very good shape, the walls and ceiling had been filled with blown insulation, had a new roof installed in 2017, and the sellers were willing to pay 5k to have the house painted to the color of your choice.  

My husband and I have been running a heating and AC biz for over 3 years now, we do it all; commercial, residential, new construction, equipment replacements, custom duct design & fabrication, service, maintenance, repairs...

My daughter ordered hers as seconds ,they came in mismatched different colors and  she had them painted to match.

I held onto it, and also updated paint colors.

So it's going to be another few years until there is a surplus of "blue-color" homes that investors can buy and rehab, due to them having deferred maintenance.

When the reports came back with flying colors, it gave me the confidence to close on the deal quickly.Having a partner has made the process much easier than taking down the deal alone.  

there is nothing wrong with it, most microwaves have that option and do not have to be vented out, even though as a contractor i prefer them to vent out. if the existing pipe already vents out, which it probably does if there is a pipe in the cabinet already. what you would have to do is unscrew the 2 or 3 screws in the top cabinet that screw down into the microwave ( if not there then there may be 2 bolts in the front of the unit behind the cover that have to be loosened) that will loosen the microwave, then its a matter of taking the screws out that hold the fan at the top back, pull the blower fan out and change the direction so that it faces up, screw the fan back to the unit and put the microwave back up and bolting it. check to make sure the fan connects to the duct work, if not, add a piece of sheet metal to connect and seal that joint. btw you may want to unplug the microwave before doing so, just for safety reasons.
