It is not worth putting in the weeks of labor to paint those. Wood is really popular right now, and those are great.

Thanks Hu-655638150, Any recommendations on the inside and the hardware I could change it to>

Painting the cabinets a light color will draw attention to the difference in undertone between the granite and floor tile.

If you go for a color, it needs to work with the floor, brick AND granite. Your options are some kind of blue, green, or red (pulled from the brick). A dark charcoal could sit well too.

The tone and door style seem appropriate for the style of the kitchen. If you want to update hardware, brass may be a great option for you, depending on the rest of the house. A big change in personality would come from changing the light over the island.

ellaphant - Thanks for the suggestions. I like the idea of changing brass hardware and the light fixture over the island. What kind of fixture do you recommend?

I'd also change your can lights to flat look LED replacments - it may be the photos but the bulb choice there is not appropriate and looks janky. and maybe remove that valence that is over the sink.

That and your light over the island and the pulls/hw would be a decent update.

And maybe paint a color that is soft and muted - but I am terrible at that!

Just leave them be. There is no reason to do anything to them at all. Cabinet insides are 4x the square footage of the outside, and very rarely have anything done to them, because it is 10X more difficult than the outsides.

Your cabinets are fine You have a very nice kitchen, just the way it is. No paint. Change the hardware if you must, but, get hardware that fits the existing holes. I would also change out the light fixture above the island. All minor changes. If you plan on changing hinges, you need to be aware that even when they look exactly like the old ones, they may not fit the same. A better thing would be to clean them well, and spray paint them to match the new hardware.,

The cabinet fronts are beautiful. Just touch them up with a stain pen if needed.

If they are grody inside, you can paint the insides white. Or shellac them if they are just stinky. You don't even have to do a good job unless people will be looking inside. :)

I love those bamboo handles, but they don't go at all with the kitchen. Leave the hinges (they blend in and would be a hassle to change) and go with a black, bronzed, or brass knobs/pulls.

Your kitchen looks like a high-end custom kitchen, just somewhat vintage. Get it functional and spiff it up so it looks good. Let it be what it is and don't try to get it looking current because it won't.

I couldn’t agree more. I like that vintage look. Just want it looking clean and polished

I would consider painting a lot of the non cabinet areas white- crown moulding, the weird light cloud things, the brackets under the overhang.
