Almost certainly. Is that a pickled wood finish?

A lot of prep for the not current curved top design. Look for YT videos for Cabinet Coat.

Those are from the late 80’s-early 90’s. And very high end for the day.

Almost anything can be painted. But is it worth the money or the effort? The fridge sure isn’t. It’s obsolete. I‘m not sure you can even get parts for it. A lot of changes need to be made in that kitchen well beyond the color of the cabinets. Start planning a gut redo.

I love them just the way they are.

Before you paint your cabinets, please come up with an end design.

What do you want this kitchen to look like when you are finished. Painting the cabinets may not give you the end product you want. Painting cabinets can be very, very tedious and can be expensive.

Before you plunk down a lot of time and effort, please have a game plan.

Are your walls and back splash green, or is it the lighting? Before you expend a lot of time and/or money on painting the cabinets, consider a warmer tone for your light bulbs, and repainting the walls a warm color that co-ordinates, not contrasts, with the cabinetry. Avoid cool blues and greens.

Carefully chosen warm hues compliment pickled cabinet colors to create an inviting, energetic space. Choose medium to dark tones of a color to create contrast against the cabinets. Warm colors that are too close in value -- both light and dark -- to the cabinet color may appear mismatched and detract from the beauty of the pickled finish. Examples of appropriately warm Sherwin-Williams hues include color 6650, Marquis Orange, a soft burnt orange, 2803, Rookwood Terra Cotta, a glowing rusty brown and 6601, Tanager, a burgundy or barn-wood red.

A neighbor started to paint his pickled oak cabinets and despite his many DIY skills gave up. He could see it wasn’t going to meet his standards. IKEA got his business and 15 years later those cabinets are still looking good.

yes, you can paint them. but, it wont be easy.
are you happy with the rest of the kitchen? have you worked in it?

Why is there a hide on your kitchen floor? That is not kosher!

Yes. Spraying is recommended. Doing it yourself might be rough depending on your skillset.

This kitchen ideally needs a remodel. Not something you want to hear I guess, but repainting it will not change much, you will only end up spending lots of time and energy just to see if you like the result.

Save up and renovate a year or two from now.

Yes you can!

Use Appliance paint on the fridge, and lightly sand the cabinets so that new paint will stick to them.

Have fun!

Ignore the naysayers who are trying to scare up business.

Well THAT's a relief Jenni James! :)

Looks like my response did not post. Anyway, the tchotchkes & rug will be gone soon...and I don’t believe I will paint the cabinets. But great Family Handyman article on painting. Thanks everyone...fun comments.

Yes, take off all door, drawers, handles and hinges remember to number your doors then get busy use Dawn heavy duty degreaser spray and a light sanding sponge to clean everything then rinse, use a good primer and quality paint use at least a satin paint Wooster brushes and microfiber mini paint rollers.

I wouldnt paint the cabinets either. They look to be in excellent condition. Congratulations on your new vacation condo. Vacations are meant to actually be a vacation, dont invent things to be done, that dont need to be, so you spend your whole vacation working.

think they can be painted, I actually just finished mine.

Afdbefore and after, painted cabinets, walls, changed hardhardware new countertop.

For simple updates that won't take up a lot of time investment but are still impactful, you can switch out the hardware, cover or replace the backsplash and paint the walls. I'd do them in a gray. I'd also determine whats going on with those random appearing end panels flanking the sink.

Of course you can paint them. There are tons of YouTube videos on different ways to do that. You could also look into replacing the doors and drawer fronts if the cabinets are solid. For a quick fix, add new hardware. And sometimes just adding a rug, new paint on the walls, and some decoration can make a big difference. Congrats on your new home :)

If you like the layout and the cabinets boxes are in good shape get new doors and maybe drawer fronts, unfinished, and then repaint it all. If not, gut it, update the electrical and get exactly what you want. And that refrigerator is living on borrowed time, not worth working with.

Zellenpat...I have no idea how that refrigerator is still running, but I do know they used to make things to last! I have a 30+ year old fridge in the garage that doesn’t need a “new filter” and runs great! :))
