I've seen several posts requesting advice for updating 1960's knotty pine kitchens, but I have yet to see any 'after' pictures. Does anyone have any photos they'd be willing to share?

I am particularly interested in cabinets that have been painted, as a complete gut job is not in the budget. My doors are planked and I thought painting them would make them look more cottage-y and less dated.

I plan on replacing the existing formica countertops with stone. I also plan on replacing the existing iron strap hinges and pulls, but I've just realized the offset hinges could be a problem.

Any advice/photos would be appreciated....
