Our photos were often in the kitchen because of the natural light, but they were against the floral wall. Here are a few pics.
The only one I have readily available online that shows a little bit of the counter is this one from an early 1980s slumber party (can you find me?). The edge of the two-level counter can be seen behind the girl in the jeans at right. It was designed so that there was a higher surface at stove level and a lower surface that served as a dining place. You can see the legs of a wooden chair between the legs of the girl in jeans.
Here's a rather awful photo in many ways. I color corrected it as best I could. This is the floral wall in the kitchen. And yes, there was plenty of wood paneling, too.
And finally, a photo I actually love of my siblings and me (at right) with my mom, on a couch in the living room. That striped wall also ran behind the portion of the counter that was for sitting.
