I think it would be easier to repaint them than to strip them.

I agree with kadodi. Live with it for a little. The kitchen looks great!!!

This is not the kitchen that the person was asking about. This is a kitchen we designed.

Sorry, it was attached to question...misunderstood. Lovely kitchen you designed!!!

I'm sorry, I am new to this. I commented on this picture b/c I absolutely love the natural wood look. and it is somewhat similar to the layout of my kitchen. I painted my cabinets a "cork board" color" because it looked great with the countertops I wanted and then I decided against those countertops. Like I said I love the natural look, but I was also wondering if I could paint over them with an "off white" color and make them look kind of antique or rustic? Im just not sure which would be easier or look better. At this point I am just frustrated!!!! I will upload a picture in a moment. Thank you everyone!

Sorry it took so long to load pic. This is the color I painted my dark oak cabinets. I liked it at first because it matched my countertops I was going to use perfectly but have since decided to do different countertops. I also have a small galley kitchen I plan I open up one side that over looks the living area. I really love the "natural" cabinet color but probably too much work now. I have been thinking a cream color? What is best and easiest way to do this? How hard is it to give them a glazed or antique look?
Thanks again!

Aimee- I'm new to this too! Just want to say I think you did a great job painting your cabinets. Why don't you have a local designer (from a kitchen design place or tile place) come out and give you some countertop help with colors, etc before you redo all the cabinets. Some contrast might be nice. I've also checked with neighbors who have done some updates for their input and referrals. Good luck!
