Hi All,

Have read significantly on the topic of HOW to paint kitchen cabinets ...am prepared to paint them, BUT, we can't decide what color or colors (recent trends have different uppers and lowers and even islands).

This kitchen is in a house on Smith Mountain Lake, VA ...it gets lots of sun through windows on the right facing the lake ...and lots of reflected lake colors.

During the remodel, our intent has been to modernize, upgrade and increase the wow factor ...we want the room to be a FUN place for family and friends visiting ... but don't want to damage sales potential.

To date we have replaced the Formica countertops with the flashy granite (it had an elevated wrap around bar that we didn't like so we cut off the elevated part and enlarged the work and social area), added the dangly lights and cans, added under cabinet LEDs, replaced the white appliances with stainless (although we don't like the stove ...would have preferred drop in), installed the glass subway tile backsplash ...

Last items - cabinet colors and stools (tuck in stools shown in photos are gap fillers ...) And, oh yeah, that table (came with the house) is ugly :-)

Just occurred to me ...the corner cabinet near stove had an appliance garage under it ....we removed it ...should we put it back?

Need help! ... Couple of photos attached.
