This is the kitchen

Enjoy the storage. Are they all individual cabinets, like locker size?

Wonderful storage! If it were mine, I'd paint all the cabinets white and install some pretty hardware. You could replace some of the doors with glass ones and add lighting for display. If you'd prefer another color, charcoal is a good one right now. I'd replace the supports under the bar with a pair of more substantial ones - maybe in metal to match the hardware.Then add some pretty barstools Are you replacing appliances? Check out some of the new colored stainless ones. Your chandelier is interesting but too large for that table. Wonder if you can remove the glass parts and rework the chandy. I'd remove the shades as well. However, you might do better to sell it on Craig's List and use the $$ to get a new one.

It is a cabinet face just put on shelves with many doors yes locker style

We are replacing appliance. Going to have cabinets and island redone either white or a dark wood. Also want to redo wall of cabinets to look more like a bar/buffet area..

should I have have everything done in white or contrast with some stained wood?

I don't think a bright white is what you would want but maybe a creamy white.

Here is one in houzz photos

You could stain the kitchen cabinets darker and paint the wall of cabinets the color of the walls or a cream.

Changing the doors would make a big difference

thank you

One of the things with Houzz is there a lot of pictures. So just type in the search what your issue is...wall of cabinets, search in photos and just scan through them you can save ones that you like in an idea book. It helps you get ideas and isn't as expensive as purchasing something and finding out you don't like it or wish you had done something different. I envy the storage. Good luck!

You might contact a local cabinet maker. He may be able to work some magic using what is there but making it more efficient.

New doors for that shouldn't be expensive. Might even be an opportunity to change the door style in the kitchen if you wanted to as well.

So next question should I do all in the same finish or mix it up..

was thinking possibly kitchen cabinets white and island and wall of cabinets/buffet dark

We are going to paint and put on new counter tops also

I'm a fan of mixed color cabinets. To my non-professional eye it helps break up the monotony of huge expanses of a single color. In short, yep, that's what I would do.

The color mixing is starting to be seen as trendy by some. The upside of this is that you'll find a lot of photos in the houzz database to give you an idea of what it might look like.
