Do you need to paint it? Or can you restore the finish?

Let me see if I can show you some of our home samples and how we are tying the color options available with the swiss coffee, cityscape blue grey along with natural cedar accents of our home exterior. I tried to flow similar colors through out to tie everything together. In the top left corner, you should see "beige looking" square next to a small dark blue card...that's the swiss coffee(main color of home) and cityscape blue grey color(accent on garage/gables) that will be on our exterior. The city scape will also be the main color of our cabinets too. Everything else you see are varying selections we made for counter tops and backsplash which I tried to organize in such a way to see how the colors play off one another. right corner(kitchen cabinets: white island and blue grey uppers/lowers) cement countertops with random mosaic white backsplash. The large square at the top is our LVP flooring we are putting down through out the entire house. Middle: "gre-ige" square: Benjamin Moore San Francisco Fog paint through out no accent paint colors left bottom corner: Blue light grey tile for guest bath tub/shower surround and white grey looking tile is the grey swirl marble countertops that will be in both guest bathroom but will be our cultured marble style for our shower. Hope this makes sense and helps you get some ideas. :D

Denise - Are you aware that there is a chance that the countertops could be damaged and not able to be reused when you get new cabinets, and a near certainty that your backsplash will be damaged when you get new cabinets, as well? Maybe you've weighed the pros and cons, but this is not a gamble I would take. I'd save the money and do a full remodel when you can do everything at once. This ^^^^

thanks for the suggestion , but i always depend on the lights inside the hutch wouldnt want to block or shade that light .. i wont mind the painting ,, picking a color is my greatest delemia always .
