Comments (3)Change out your lightbulbs before doing anything more. Use led daylight 4000k light bulbs. Everything looks yellow in your kitchen from the lightbulbs you have. I wouldnt paint the cabinets either, since they appear to be in great condition, but, I would sure be painting the walls quickly....See MoreKitchen cabinets - Paint Ready v.

Comments (1)IMO if apinted is what you want go MDF for all painted cabinets with a factory finish for sure . All painted surfaces can chip but the factory baked one less often.

Comments (19)The kitchen is dark because it has no windows of its own and it has no central overhead light fixture, only downward-pointing can lights.

Comments (13)Those are very nice looking cabinets and I would not paint them. Having your cabinets professionally painted is quite expensive. And, these cabinets seem too quality for a DIY paint job. Your counters are what really throws the color of this room off for me, but I suspect a counter replacement is not in the stars for you now.

Maybe one of these genius pros on here could suggest a new wall color to tie the cabinets, counters, and floors together?...See Moregalprins
