For the record, I left it that way, and replacement wood, like the porch, gets a paint job too. The paint over the brickwork outside, however we did get rid of -- it was probably full of lead and was flaking (bad combination!), but it did preserve the brick through years of pollution from local factories!
My other take: There's never too many kitchen things. Every Sim house deserves just the right stuff :)
